I can see how my opinions on virtually everything have softened as I approach middle age. At 18, I would have said that the three worst things you could become were an army officer, a stockbroker or a farmer, and the three best were a journalist, an actor or a rock star. In fact, the army officers I've met are generally brighter and better informed than most journalists, and the stockbrokers are happier than the actors. All my friends who intended to be rock stars seem to have inherited farms.
