One of my Facebook friends posted this cartoon and referenced it to "career" choices that one makes and that he may still look around for better jobs then realizes that his job was the best.

Although I agree with that, this brings to mind a play I have seen on Broadway about a decade ago called "The Wrong Mountain". 

 

The play is about Henry, a 60-year-old man, who spent all his life writing poetry for a living but could not get the fame or fortune that he expected to achieve from this career. His personal life was in shambles, he was divorced and his wife got to live in his old ancestral house as a divorce settlement, and to top that, the ex-wife's fiance' was living there too. 

 One Christmas he was invited to a family gathering and his wife's fiance' (who is a successful playwright) was also there and they got into this heated argument about who is intellectually better a poet or a playwright and this ended up with a bet that if Henry could write a play and get it produced within 6 months he would get $100,000.
Not only Henry wrote the play (which was about their dysfunctional family) but also produced it & entered a local theater festival & won first prize.
During all this process, he liked writing the play and realized that "he spent most of his life climbing the wrong mountain" by pursuing a career in poetry and that in reality he is much better a playwright than a poet.

So my point is it doesn't hurt to think about other options in life especially career-wise, just don't spend all your life doing so and stick with the thing that you like & do best.
