Composing a "life plan" has always been an enjoyable pass-time for me. Part fantasy, part goal setting, it allows me to develop the complex details of a future life.
Lately, I've decided to give up the dream of working for an independent Jeweler with flexible hours, design freedom, and benefits. I now focus my attention on putting together an elaborate Choose your own Adventure of Jewelry careers. The more progress I make in infiltrating the industry, the more my life plan starts out "Ok, so if that doesn't work, I can always do this, and that'll be alright."
What really drives my crazy is that I really can't picture myself past where I am now: in debt, sleeping late, and making wearable art (unwearable jewelry). The career life sounds like a bummer in comparison.
