That's pretty good advice, what Dinah suggested. Despite her sordid past, she's a smart one...
I'd also suggest the inverse of it: make a list of people you admire or respect or like who have NOT suceeded in the employment world. You can use people like Ogden Nash, who really didn't do all that well writing advertising copy; or you can use people you know, like FineLineBob, who's got so much going for him, but claims to be the ultimate employment loser. Ask yourself which list contains people with the attributes you value most.
Another option is just plain to write down everything that you think career success would bring you. What does it really mean to you?
For what it's worth, despite things like not being able to support myself, etc, teaching horseback riding made me feel much more successful than being assistant accounting manager at a huge, international law firm. ;-)
