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.)

A friend of mine is going through a similar experience with a career change. It's surprising him as well and I just laugh. It's amazing what friends see in us!
