Take your time

I applaud Jake Grodzinsky's Nov. 29 column, entitled, "My Hopes and Dreams." Grodzinsky affirms that it's okay to graduate from Duke not knowing what you want to do with your life. He writes, "Even though you may not know exactly where you'll be living next year. you still can take comfort in knowing that you will have the potential to do something truly great." I myself did not settle on a career until age 30, and in doing so I find that I am avoiding the mid-life crises that many of my college friends are now having. If you're passionate about something that you can make into a career, then go for it; if you're not sure, give yourself time for your talents and desires to ferment. You'll be a happier person because of it.
