Future lifestyle and relationships

Post Reply New Topic

I'd like to know how and when "what do you want to do with your life" comes into play.

Seeing as how I'm headed towards an Environmental Energy/Aerospace Design form of Engineering, and I am more Service, art, music, and outdoors oriented in interests - I'd like to know. Half of my standards in dating orient around "would they be okay with the kind of lifestyle I want."

Imagine a piper coming into town, fixing, inventing, and playing his tune. Few would want a family style like that.
Or a place that was a mix of a Art community, an Ecovillage, and NASA. Few would want that.

Think of how likely that lifestyle is going to be, and also that the two of you could have many years together before that even comes into fruition. A few years is a lot of time for a person to reconsider what they think about life and their lifestyle - you and her.

I heard environmental engineering is the most depressing field of engineering. Its really a part of civil engineering where you figure out hom much you can get away with. Which is the cynical view of all engineering.

Environmental Energy would fall under the "green energy" spectrum and thus be a good rout through witch to invent.
@JanuaryMan - You're right. I suppose that I'm just worried about having long relationships be broken up. Or creating feelings of holding each other back (as with my folks - one's an Engineer cityguy, the other a Biologist farmgirl)
