It was one of many things I wanted to do from the get go, and as far as pursuing a career, the one that's stayed longest. But I've always considered the possibility of one's vocation not being what one's paid for as well, and I've always wanted my profession to allow me to pursue multiple arts. Art and the aesthetic is where I've always had the most natural talent and decided by college I did not want to pursue it professionally, and I'm not certain I made the right decision there, but I haven't got the world all figured out yet either.

In what field were you considering teaching, and did you pursue it at all?
