Unfortunately, what works for you might not work for her. Coming from a family of a bunch of medical practitioners, I was expected to go to medical school. I became a social worker instead. Fortunately, you seem to be more open minded about your sister's wishes. My family considers me an utter failure for only having a masters degree in social work.<br /><br />At the same time, it's important for your sister to be grounded and not shoot too high. Given this economy, it's harder to achieve those big dreams than ever. While it's good to dream, one needs to stay realistic at the same time. It's a rough world out there.<br /><br />http://socialworkburnout.blogspot.comBurnt Out Social Workerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420267047300283418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508287140975351636.post-17916905682902861412012-04-14T23:16:11.837-04:002012-04-14T23:16:11.837-04:00Shukke Tukudo: Our ordination is called leaving ho...Shukke Tukudo: Our ordination is called leaving home and attaining the way. When we do that, we're called Unsui- clouds and water. <br /><br />Bad news: Some of us are clouds and water<br />Good news: You don't have to worry about advising clouds and water- if they're truly clouds and water, then they are untouchable. <br /><br />I did what you suggested- had a job, lived near family, was building a career. It was a bit like torture for me. <br /><br />And when you take lay-ordination, it's called staying home and attaining the way. These are seen as a equal, parallel paths. But as my teacher says, some of us just do better in a cage!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
