Yes, I too have doubts about my plans sometimes. What I may miss is the "creative" part. There are so many things I'd like to do, but in fact as a teacher and writer I may still have enough free time to do that to. It would be more than risky to try to get an artist's job. Not only are these jobs rather rare over here, but also poorly paid. There is very little a chance to get a job for example in the production of a movie such as LBT. And even if so, I'm afraid it becomes more and more computer rather than handwork.
As for journalism I consider if I could write for one of those history papers one can buy over here. The only problem is that they are not likely to actually employ somebody. It is more like people sending them their manuscripts, and they decide what to print and make the authors an offer for their writings.
