but, as Scott says,
"Luck – typically in the form of timing – is usually the dominant factor in success. You usually have to try a bunch of things before luck has an opportunity to find you."So being a dilettante is also an advantage.
This makes me feel much better. I couldn't begin to list all my job changes; one of my favorite jokes is "Yes, I agree, unemployment is not a problem at all. Jobs are easy to find--hell, I've got 3!" I also keep on remembering the list of people who didn't succeed until well past 40--Gabriel Byrne, for example, or that author who wrote "Hawaii".
At the same time...boy, sure would be nice to have something to worry about besides money for a while...
