Well, I did photography for something like five years, then ended up working on a magazine as a writer/editor, because I lost my lab job and had friends who were working there. Ten years later, now I'm back to figuring out what to do again. I even had a period, back in the photo years, of being sort of a personal assistant - lesson learned from that one, I can do organized, but I don't enjoy doing it, especially not if it entails catering to someone's moody moods. (And then I ended up, a decade later, subjecting other people to my moody moods, so I guess it's all poetic justice in the end.)

Thanks for the luck - I'm not so much worried about the money aspect, because I know I can pick up piecework, but it's been years since I had to do without an all-consuming passion, and I feel the need to find a new one to strive toward.
