Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
The reason I said don’t laugh is because that’s what most people do when I tell them that “… you’ll be wasting your talent…”. I should take Dave’s advice and get qualified as a driver before I’m too old to be considered.
To answer your question, I was born an engineer so I can’t stop being one.
But on the work front… my passions have changed.
Unless your talent is literally saving human lives (or your society made a huge investment in training you and hasn’t recouped yet), I don’t really buy the idea that you’re obligated to do what you’re best at. Because why? Do what makes you happy.
I hope you are able to make a switch that engages your passions!
