I'm in that bind right now. On top of taking all work offered me my wife is really not feeling well so I'm a mom at home here too. Just a little nutty.

I had decided in high school to be an engineer because they make good money. So I get into Uni and hated it. All math and I knew full-well as an engineer I'd do next to no math but I couldn't motivate myself to do anything and dropped out. I'm very good at math (or was) but the thing Is I chose a job because it paid well and I like mechanical things. Sometimes it pays to research a little more thoroughly. Being good at something and enjoying it (calculus) are very different.
