Quite welcome. (I'll make sure the note goes out as soon as I can, then.)
I've been thinking rather a lot the past few weeks about how we figure out what we're supposed to be doing with ourselves. Certainly glad to help you explore more options, and see what comes of it. And of course, the point of looking at the options is that one can decide not to take them.
Office work's not glamorous, but there's a certain stability in it - I've seen that from my parents. And I know from watching my brother how hard getting a business off the ground is. All a question of which risks you want to take when, and what parts of what you love could be done on your own time.
(I think I mentioned, most of my astronomy colleagues do it as a sideline, not the way they earn a living. It's hard sometimes on the sleep, but rewarding, all the same.)
