Perfect fit?

[cjsmith]

Word is going around the office that I'm leaving high tech for (hopefully) vet med, and almost every single person who has commented about it has said some form of "that's perfect for you". They can totally see me doing that, they think it's really right for me, they think I'd be great at it, they can't imagine a more perfect fit than me being a vet (that last is a direct quote with the pronoun changed). One even said she thought it was such a good idea for me that she can't understand why I didn't do it when I went to school the first time.

Wow. One or two people might be being nice, but nearly all of them? Maybe there's something to this.

(Also: if it's so obvious, dang!, I wish someone had told me fifteen or twenty years ago.)

Also, it's a lot easier to answer the question "Does this plan seem to you like a good fit for me?" than "Which plan seems to you like it would be a good fit for me?" Those coworkers might not have come up with the veterinarian idea any faster than I came up with it, but once I named it, they can say yes to it.

that's a very good point.

and in my case if i said landscape architect or writer, i'm guessing most everyone would say what i keep saying: both.
