Roleplaying in games

[Ignatz]

I think people go into occupations and hobbies that don't match their talents all the time. Heck, I might almost say that it's miopic to think that even a majority of people are able to pursue jobs in-line with their talents. I think interests have at least as much of an effect as talent on a person's goals and activities.

For myself, I gave up my two primary talents long ago and decided never to return to them. Instead I have a job that interests me, but that I have had to work hard at to be proficient.

That said, I've always envied people who's talents matched their interests and who therefore knew right away what they wanted to do. Lucky bastards.
