So very true. I had the very same issue. I always knew I wanted to be a mom, but beyond that I'm still not sure. Of course it occupies a lot of my time, and I feel it's very important to put a lot of effort into, so maybe in the future there will be something else, but for now mom is plenty. I floundered through my bachelor's though because I was just doing what I thought people wanted me to do. It was pretty miserable really.

Unschooling 101 Part 1: How kids learn
I did nursing prerequisites, then marketing, then communication, because I fel they would make respectable and lucrative careers. I didn't have a passion for any of them, though, and it wasn't until I got into Black Studies and then started taking history classes that I figured out what I really wanted to do. The academic job market is scary, but I know that I can't just do something because it's expected of me or because it's popular. Without real emotional investment and passion, I'll end up miserable and burned out. So I think it's best to follow your own truth. :)

Oh, I so agree. I think the best thing about unschooling is giving kids time and space to figure out what their passion is and really devote time to it while they still have so much free time and don't have to pay bills.

Haha, yeah! Being an adult is such a time-suck—who knew? ;)
