Yup, my wife also. Although most of those she went to drama school who are still working are mostly single and/or don't have kids. She doesn't regret her life choices. Yet.

Or Professional Tennis, or F1 racing, or pretty much anything really.

I would have been a famour musician now if I hadn't worried too much on getting a good education and then a job. Well, that and wasting too much time playing football and going down the pub, rather than you know, learning an instrument. /not taking the piss cubby - this is based on people I know who went down a different path to me and it all worked out for them

Getting an education and a job to support oneself have got to be two of the most unrewarding experiences in life. I don't blame young people for choosing not to work, if the recent statistics paint an accurate picture.
The story that sums it up for me is JK Rowling's path to fame. Single. Unemployed. Young child to support. Yet instead of getting a job, she decided to claim child benefit (presumably) live in cafes, and write her way out of her predicament. I'm not sure if it was a wholly courageous thing to do, or wholly irresponsible, but it worked out for her.

To be fair it is easier to write from cafes when it's owned by your brother in law, less likely to get chucked out.

Coldplay. Again. Emily does seem to love em.
It's about as poor an initial line-up as last year, and nearly everyone I would want to see I have already seen, and quite a few I have tickets for coming up too. Including The Breeders who are indeed still going strong (their last album was great, though it was 6 years ago now).
Still gutted I didn't get tickets this year though.
