1. I wish I had something to tell you.

I did try changing careers to Pastry & Baking at one time, and even took classes in it. It wasn't really a "leap" type of move, just something I decided to try after being unemployed for too long, with other odd jobs sprinkled in between.

However, after a year and a half discovering just how aggravating and demeaning the "industry" is (not to mention grueling in labor), I happily went back to the most-often and relatively stress-free world of drafting.

Now, I do expect to have one of those leaping stories when I'm ready to publish my book, but I have to finish the damn thing first!
