I spend a lot of my younger 20s trying to figure out what I wanted to do, and I've been sidetracked a lot. There are two things I want to do, write screenplays and become an FBI profiler. I don't need a degree for the first, but I hadn't figure out the second, so I was working on an English degree. Complete waste of my time. I finally figured out the second and started going to school, pursuing my degree in Forensic Psychology. I'm way behind the curve here, at 27 and trying to finish off a Bachelor's degree. But, on the plus side, I KNOW what I want to do and sometimes I think that's half the battle, right there. I'm a terrible networker, though. I have trouble with it, even in my writing career, which is a lot of who you know - particularly in Hollywood. Any good advice on how to get better at this? Great post!
