Big news!

I quit my unfulfilling career in dentistry.

I didn't like it so I quit.

And now... I am going to do what makes me happy, not what promises to make me rich.

And I may need to eat ramen noodles for quite some time now...

BUT I AM SO EXCITED!:thumbsup:

So how far into dentistry were you?

[Staurm]

Good on you. :thumbsup: I'd a did the same, only I decided a lot later than you. I'm now practically skint, but relatively more happy and physically much stronger. 9 to 5 sitting in a hermitically sealed box breathing recycled air and developing haemorhoids? No thanks, I'll take the financial hardship option if that's alright. :hippy:

So what are you dreaming of doing?
One of my best girlfriends is leaving the military as a VERY young lieutenant commander to go study to be a pastry chef. Takes balls...
Congratulations!
Can you inspect my teeth? I just ate a bowl of granola...

Actually, I recently came to a similar conclusion myself. I've been going towards psychology but I really don't want to be a therapist until I'm much, much older.

So I'm going off to do something that gets me a lot of $$$, so I can go enjoy life. Good to see you're breaking out of society's expectations also :jointsmile:

I think hes making the opposite decision. However, you both want to enjoy life.

I've said this MANY times on here before, but money doesn't buy happiness. Living life they way YOU want to is the only ticket there.

Congrats man. Hope everything works out the way you want it to.

it's all about what makes you happy i guess. Without a higher purpose, the only reason to exist it to enjoy existence really...
