Yes sir (or ma'am).

I'm a writer, but that doesn't really pay bills (I've only been published once, and I didn't even cash the $15 check. I opted to frame it instead.) I also edit a web series, but that doesn't pay the bills either (I do it for free, out of love for the craft).

Those are things I could craft into a career with time and care I suppose, but it's mighty difficult to sit at a PC all day when the slow burn of pain builds to a boiling point.

My real field of interest lies in mental health. To turn that into a profession, it's going to take eight years of school. I haven't even started exploring the possibility however, because sitting through a a number of lectures every day is bound to be impossible when sitting in one position for more than 20 minutes is excruciating. So my plan is to get healthy again, then go to school, then go out into the world and help those who can't help themselves emotionally.

To paraphrase the great Dave Lister, "It's me plan. I planned it."
