Re: Career goals and identity

Yes, very much so.

About six years ago, I was stalled out in my Ph.D. program and decided I was going to quit. I left the program and started working at this little hell-hole that processed bad checks. I was so demoralized, especially because most of my friends were still in the program. I have never wanted to be anything other than a professor, and the thought that I wasn't going to be one made me feel like I was nothing. I decided to apply for teaching jobs that only required a master's degree, and was hired, so I didn't experience that loss of identity for long.

I am a teacher and I am a writer. Those are both things you do, and I don't know who I'd be without them.
