i mean, i might be viewed as probably the most childish, not mature, idealistic guy for NOT wanting to work in an engineerring company (it was my dad's offer to me, and he got mad by my response, and started calling me all of the above) and instead want to start doing what i'm really PASSIONATE at: Music!..but then now i know that really, it's all depending on EACH person's Personality-type, too !
my "place" would easily got replaced by you, in this case !
since my Dad likes all technical things, he seems to easily assume that I HAVE to like those technical things too, which unfortunately, i'm not ... i'm very different from my dad, from Personality-type, until our perspective & opinions about many things in Life & what we value..

I too believe there is a place for everyone. I have wanted to be an "inventor" since I was about 8 y.o. I don't know how that idea got stuck in my head, but I cannot rid myself of it (Believe me, I've tried). That word has particular connotations for me (patents and money-making are just means to ends), and this has turned into an obsession of sorts. I've put myself into situations at work and school where I am severely under-qualified, just for the opportunities to learn. But in the process, I have wrecked my self-confidence. Despite the lack of confidence, my desire continues to be strong.
