However, I spent most of my thirties hoping to find "the right" job or career only to have come to the conclusion at 40 that there is no One. I was asking the wrong question all the time. Right now, I manage a pet acupuncture clinic, do corporate writing on energy efficiency for very large companies and consulting firms, review movies, and coach on life/work and lifestyle issues. Who the heck knew I would ever be "a utilities expert" -- and I wouldn't want to be that alone. I'm a true anti 9-to-5er -- the best scenario for me is just doing a variety of projects all part-time and temporary. I’m a firm believer in having the coolest job possible.
