Dear Marc and Angel, I am a 38-year old college drop-out whose childhood dream was to become a psychologist like my grandfather. Right now, I am a librarian at a city library who moonlights on the side as a life coach. I enjoy my day job, but my life coaching gig is the work that really moves me – it gives me a chance to indirectly dabble in psychological counseling. This side gig has started to gain traction, and several of my recent clients have told me that I would have made a great medical psychologist. But if I go back to college and get my degree, then go to graduate school, then complete my internship and dissertation, and finally begin my own legitimate psychologist/counseling practice, it will take me almost eight years from today. And, in eight years I will be 46 years old! I’m trying to decide what I want to do. Do you have any thoughts or advice for me? Sincerely, An Inspired Reader Our reply: Dear Inspired Reader, Sometimes asking the right question is the answer. Therefore, we have one for you: In eight years from today, how old will you be if you don’t do it? Sincerely, Marc and Angel -- read the rest of the post:
