RE: 30 Days on Steemit: Achievements & Appreciation
LOL, that's awesome! I'm self-employed, which allows a lot of flexibility, but if there are projects going on, there's often not really space (also in my head) for creative stuff. But the day jobs also allow me to travel a lot (and write about my travels), so I'm not yet ready to give them up completely ;) From where I'm standing, your priorities are about perfect, btw ... if I could go back, I'm not even sure I would finish school, let alone university ... I started writing "seriously" when I was 14/15, and I've sometimes thought I should have really pursued it at that time instead of doing what was kind of expected of me. But, well, I'm doing it now, and regarding steemit, I'm a very patient person, so everything is fine :)
Well, I enjoy poetry to express myself, but I don't see it as viable to just do it. I really love psychology; and I would love to be involved in research. Part of research is learning and writing, so that's probably something I will love doing. If you get to travel a lot, I wouldn't quit that day job!!
That's great, and also funny, since I wanted to stay in research, too! It's so great to really dig into things and learn stuff. Do you have a particular field in psychology you're into? One of my day jobs is actually being an author for language learning and testing books, which is really not creative ... but I can do it anywhere (as long as there's wifi) and use the money for said travels, so you're absolutely right, I probably won't quit it soon. :)
The field I'm currently most interested in is cognitive neuroscience, or neuropsychology. Something along those links most probably.
