I like where this thread is going. There are so many questions I could ask based upon the responses thus far. I want to focus on just one or two, though.
For those people who accept that their work defines them, I wonder: what defined you before you began your career? What defined you as a child? How do you expect to define yourself after you retire?
To an extent, I agree with maleficent when she says that once she's dead, she won't care if she's remembered. In that I agree with it, I believe in making the most of the life I have. While I enjoy my work, I have to admit that if I was wealthy enough to do whatever I wanted, I don't honestly know if this is what I'd do. Which brings me to my question.
If you were wealthy enough that you didn't have to work anymore, would you? Would you continue with the career you have now or would you choose something different? Please be honest.
