That's pretty much the Maslow's heirarchy of needs theory, makes a great
deal of sense to me. I most definately agree with what you say. I know a
few people who are leaving school completely, because they have plans in
place which they think they'll be happy doing. Not what I'd do, but if it
works out and they're happy then I for one think that's great.

What miserable weather we have this morning :/
