The main reason I continued for the MA and PHD was because my favorite professor told me I'd be good at it, and since this is the only encouragement or advice I got from anyone at university, and I had no idea what else I could do, I went ahead and continued my education. I was a decent student, that is I got the work done, mostly did well, but it all felt sort of haphazard. I realize now that it was not because the program was bad, or the university was lacking, but because I had no idea what direction I wanted to go or what I was working towards on a personal level.
What I see now after reading this book is how much I allowed chance to decide which way I was going, simply because I never questioned assumptions I had made about myself, about work, about life. I am making course corrections now (better late than never), and the journal exercises, other readings, and website are very helpful in this.
