  Mir -  I have no idea how old you are,  but I think we are all seeing the effects of disatisfaction with our current lots in life.  I don't know if it falls under the category of " mid- life crisis"
 but it seems to be similar.  To all those listed below,  these are just my observations and are in no way intended to be judgemental.  Me -  Established in my career ( 11 years now)
 Secure in my position and qualifications within my company;  Am tired of doing what I am doing and looking for a possible change into computer programming Mir -  Not happy with her current lot in life and seeking a change,  though aparently unsure of what the change should be.  Johnnathan -  Working to get by and meet his next goal of an advanced degree in literature;
 no desire to stay in his current career Scott -  Looking at a change to Real Estate;  burned out on IT Jimi -  Going to school after his immediate post high school education plans fell through Ben -  After years of seemingly aimless work,  entered the "
mainstream"  workforce So,  of us 6 in RTG ( with the exception of Neal,  whom I have not known long enough to observe such details)  5 of us are actively or at least considering career changes.
 I think that maybe we have been seduced by the American dream where anybody can be sucessful if they find something they truely love.  I could stay where I am now and provide for my familys needs for the next 30 years,  But,  will I be happy?  Probably not.  Is this a local phenomenon or a cultural event?
 It is strange that people less than 10 years into a career could be so burned out.
