I might feel the same way if I had kids, but I'm scared to death of having children before finding my true vocation. I think if I have kids and find myself "forced" to stay at a high-paying job I didn't like, I would be an unhappy slave. Perhaps the love for my kids would totally make-up for that, but that's how I think now that I don't have kids. I'm an idealist and I want to be in love at home as well as in love with what I do for living. I know I set the bar high. Right now I'm studying a lot about the Myer-Briggs personality types and I'm finding a lot of answers. Thanks for sharing your observation.
