I think what you are experiencing is normal and I have to ask...if you changed locales would there be more opportunities?
thanks for that.

Well, it would be easier to decide if that is really the problem if I knew just exactly what it is I want to do with myself, career-wise. That's really the main issue. I am very driven, ambitious, and determined when I set my mind to do something. I just have to figure out what it is I want to do. *shaking my head with frustration* I really envy the people who have figured it out, or at least found something that they can make work for them.

East mentioned that your feelings are normal. That is true. What is also true, is that they do not have to be. One can change and follow a different path in life. We all have the choice as to what we wish to achieve / accomplish / pursue in life. How do you define success?
hmmm...I totally understand minimalism, but I would love for you to elaborate on just what you mean by using it in this situation. I think I get it, but give me a bit more.

I think I define success as being happy/content and PROUD of your chosen (or happenstance-like) profession.
