Culture Vulture Wants to Know: Who You Been?
It seems, you can live as many lives as you want in Portland...never been one of those towns where you're boxed into this category or that job. Many a flip has taken place.
Either with direction or aimlessly, feel free to encounter rock stars who became parents; lawyers who became sales clerks; dancers who just had to become doctors; poets who became program directors for non-profits; florists who moonlight as bier-tenders and who will floriste, again; computer wizzes who used to be contractors; mariners who are now store owners; librarians who became successful musicians, in Spain...true; golfers who became DJ's; bartenders who became writers. Often, the change is out of necessity...but, not because you "woke up and smelled the coffee"...there will always be a seed in us of what we once were...and Portland thrives on that. Tour guides who were PhD candidates; actors who became paid actors. Don't be afraid to ask yourself this question:
Am I good at it?
