A Girl Walks into a Store…

…and gets a tarot reading.

It was fun, it was engaging, and I liked the woman who was doing it, giving me this amazing advice while using cute cards with pictures of animals on them to assist the process.

Today I was reading an article about college majors for the class of 2011 and they’re going to be doctors, nurses, and engineers.

Is there really a shortage of doctors? Really? I mean doctor has been on the top 10 list of careers since, I think, the first stone was sharpened and used as a scalpel. But never has there been a drop in kids who want to grow up and treat the sick. You can say they all have a bit of Florence Nightengale in them, but I think they’re in it for the money. Because when you think of high-paying jobs, I’m pretty sure doctor is right up there. Even if you want to deliver babies in Illinois and have malpractice insurance that runs you 150k/yr. (that was word-of-mouth from one OB who may have been under or over exaggerating.)

Oh, and business. Talk about a degree I have no degree of faith in. I’ve seen what someone looks like with a bachelor’s in business. It’s good to see that the people in the unemployment department won’t lose their jobs.

Back to the tarot reading. It was like having a conversation with a favorite aunt or grandmother who was giving me great advice about my life, but she just knew my background without us having the years of knowing each other and stories to exchange. Nothing over the top or crazy … just normal “makes good sense” advice … but advice that was based on everything I could have told her without having to say a word.

Easy, good advice. That’s worth paying for whether there are cards, psychic abilities, or just a cup of tea waiting for you with the conversation.
