I think it’s great that you are realizing that now. You totally haven’t failed at this goal but really just recognized something that isn’t right for you.

I did the same thing when I was in college. I was studying to be a social worker, and one year short of my degree I realized that it was work that would eat me alive. I withdrew from school, and to this day I do not regret it.

as such, but Pajo, you definately have the aptitude for nurturing…..your four children and your Mother regularly reap the benefits of your loving, nurturing nature, as I expect do other friends and family as well as we here on 43T.

I agree w/Wren too; there’s no failure in coming to the realization that an opportunity just may not be the right opportunity for you….....recognizing that is wise. :~)
