I'd just like to have an answer to questions like "What do you do for a living" other than "uhh.. live". haha I've thought about maybe going back to school to get into social work. I think it would be interesting to work with other foreigners who are having trouble integrating and feeling lost here in NL. Ahh time will tell.. Yeah I know what you mean.

I'm sure very few people who work in banks think of themselves as bankers (the ones who do are probably wankers), and police officers don't want to feel on duty 24 hours a day. People go to work mostly for the pay, otherwise they're called volunteers. I don't think your counsellor was wacky as suggesting talk show host. After all, look at -- oh god what's her name? dark haired, petite lady, begins with P? -- that Canadian talk show host who was a single mom flying a traffic helicopter for a news station... she probably never thought she'd end up hosting a talk show. I think you're better off working with people than being a pen-pusher... you can read people pretty well and will likely get bored at a desk in a backoffice. You'd probably be happier closer to the "action"... I hear ya… but maybe you should get away from the idea of “being” something — after all, a vocation is not your identity.
