I'm not sure I'd call that lagging, sounds like you perform a much needed service and do something I KNOW I couldn't do.

I love it and them, but I guess it's kind of lagging just when it comes to obtaining financial security! I have a hard time imagining doing anything else, though! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think it's sad that our culture defines success in financial terms.  Success to me is having a job (or calling) you truly love and being happy.  I have a job that helps me pay my student loans and only hope some day that I'll find one that I truly love, like it sounds like you do.
