One of your career goals is to figure out what you actually want. So when it came time to pick a profession, Prakapas chose… books. The source of his misery, he eventually realized, was that he didn't actually want to be a book editor. (Also, as a former book editor, he undoubtedly knew that, if I continued down that path, it would be a long and arduous one.) Most of my college friends had zero interest in finance and were mystified about why I claimed to find it interesting.
