Flutterbee (cute nick),
You sound like me, except you've experienced life! You're living in a foreign country, you're married with a baby, and you have your whole life ahead of you.
Nutrition has always fascinated me as well. I wrote a paper on nutrition in high school ... I don't know why, but I still find it interesting. There are a lot of career possibilities with a degree in nutrition.
I don't know how old you are, but it's never too late to finish your degree. I had just turned 40 when I finished my B.A. degree, and now I'm contemplating becoming certified to teach. If I like it, I may go on to get a master's degree in education. I recently heard about a man who got his law degree at 49.
Perhaps you never finished your education because nothing really excited you. I hope you find that excitement. When you're able, take classes in different areas and find out where your true interests lie. The possibilities are endless.

> Shar, I was telling my husband the other night how I was feeling, because up until I read these posts did I even realize that I was feeling like this, like I'm so bored with life and I can't seem to find m niche. Well, I do have one or two things that intrest me, one is studying nutrition, how our bodies, and mind function with certain foods or supplements, but when I started to go to school for this my parents told me that I am wasting my time and will never make any money doing it (my father makes a lot of money, so you get where he is coming from). Well, since he was supporting me through college, I kind had no choice not to go that route. I also like to paint ceramics (I know, sounds corny, but I have done some really good stuff). Right now I don't have any supplies (i live in Italy) and I can't really go back to college (my husband is in college plus works full time, plus I have a baby). I do what I can through the internet and my books from when I took a few nutrition classes and worked in a health food store. I know (or at least use to) or can figure out, how many calories in what you are eating, what nutrients are in them and what they effect in your body. I use to be really annoying with it, but I loved it. Sorry to bore you, but thanks for letting me vent, you inspired me!-Flutter
