[QUOTE="TamaraL, post: 532806, member: 40208"] [b]Re: Can transiting Pluto conjunct Saturn mess up everything you had "build" ?[/b] [I][COLOR="navy"][/COLOR][/I] Yes you are right..of course it affects us, I 'd like to believe that I grew in an open-minded family.. On the other hand theres a nice quote from V.Woolf: “Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.” [COLOR="Navy"][I]College life is really fantasy land for most people - you deal with nothing but people of the same age, the same field, the same opinions, etc. Once you've been far from home making a living and being amongst people of many ages and backgrounds does the "real" world come into focus. And what we study in school is seldom what we actually do in real life in many cases. My career now is not the field I studied in college.[/I][/COLOR] Yes..again so true..in every word.God, I feel so guilty for believing in all these things...college, project "distinctions", grants...I thought I was declaring my independence when I got funding for the full course.LOL such a naive person...Neptunian child I guess Neptune is strong in my chart...I hope my studies are at least relevant with my career. [I][COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]See "college fantasy-land above". College is too insular for real growth - you grow in being exposed to different ideas and concepts (ostensibly), but isn't until you work and deal with people from all walks of life and start to apply those ideas and concepts do you really "grow up" - theoretical ideas are great fun, no so much when your rent is a month late, you can't deal with the range of personalities at work, you have drunks and criminals for neighbors, only a jar of mustard and mayo in the fridge, and so on.[/QUOTE][/COLOR][/I] ...Exactly.. the silly thing about me is that I could foresee that "I need to get out there, & expose myself" I was "older" than most of my fellow students but still so inexperienced in other ways in order to find balance. I prefer reality because despite the so many injustices there's something "fair" about it...You can't be innovative if you don't work hard & love what you do...while in college it can be "work hard" & "my parents told me to study this".
