Get over the mistaken belief that you are fitted for only a single
occupation! Every normal person can succeed at a number of occupations, and
every normal person would probably fail in many occupations. Take myself,
for example: if I had studied and prepared myself for the following
occupations, I believe I would have had a good chance of achieving some
small measure of success-and also of enjoying my work. I refer to such
occupations as farming, fruit growing, scientific agriculture, medicine,
selling, advertising, editing a country newspaper, teaching, and forestry.
On the other hand, I am sure I would have been unhappy, and a failure, at
bookkeeping, accounting, engineering, operating a hotel or a factory,
architecture, all mechanical trades, and hundreds of other activities.
