I would learn more quickly if they told us up front: This is a forest. Then I would understand how to think about the things that come from it.”

You’ve just summed up a big problem for me. I have a lot of trouble with this, why can’t they just give us the answers so we can work backwards? I’m hopeless at a lot of this sort of thing.

dubrob, I’m a self-employed entrepeneur, it’s the only job I’ve ever held longer than 5 years, and it’s also doing a variety of stuff I’m sort of good at (limited skill set) that wouldn’t be much use to anybody else. But it took me about 52 years to get to that point. I’m still afraid I’m going to mess it up somehow.
