M: I don't know what I want to do with my life.
D: What do you mean?
M: Career wise.
D: But you have a great job. You're head of IT at one of the best industrial companies.
M: I know but I don't know if that's what I want.
D: Really?
M: Yeah.
D: So why did you go into that field?
M: A long time ago that's what I wanted and then I started and during the mix of it I didn't know if I still wanted it. I just kept doing it because I didn't want to waste time trying to figure what I wanted.
D: Wow. Why have we never spoken about this before?
M: Because I'm only now considering leaving it and going on to do something else.
D: What are you thinking about going to do?
M: I want to be a writer.
D: Like what kind of writer?

D: And what's holding you back?
