In a sense, I'm happy that I messed up the wording in the opening post, because I really learned a lot from this thread. It made me think. Somewhere down the line I'll know what I want to do, but I now realize I won't know that anytime soon. It means a lot that i can see everyone's opinion like this, and it makes me think about myself more than I have in a long time. I hope I'm not the only one that will learn from this.
Thank you. ALL of you.
