b'1.\\xa0 I am miserable at my job because I am on salary and working 60-70 hrs a week and not much time for anything else. \\xa0I would love to just quit my job and go pursue my dreams, but I do have a wife and 3 children that I dearly love and need to take care of. \\xa0\\xa0\\n\\n2.\\xa0 I wonder, is it too late for me? Is it too late for me to go to school and learn the things I always wanted to do? I don\\u2019t know, I feel like I\\u2019m too old. It seems like everybody around me knows what they want to do except me. I\\u2019m very frustrated. I\\u2019m ready for change. I just don\\u2019t know what to do. \\n\\n3.\\xa0 I am a 60 year old woman; I found out last year I have muscular dystrophy.\\xa0 My question is in regard to two student loans I took out about 6-7 years ago.\\xa0 I was trying to get a Master\'s degree to obtain an easier job that paid well. This is not going to happen. In light of my health condition and financial situation, is there any way to get a student loan forgiveness?\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n4.\\xa0 In one of your books you intrigued me by the prediction that there may be more jobs in the future for "people whisperers."\\xa0 Obviously we don\'t see the term "people whisperer" in job listings, so could you tell me some types of jobs/positions that require this skill?\\xa0 What type of personality do they have?\\xa0 What skills are essential?\\xa0 What passions might a people whisperer have? \\n\\n5.\\xa0 A few years ago, a friend shared with me an idea she had for a cooking product.\\xa0 She asked me to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which I gladly did.\\xa0 All these years later, I know for a fact that she didn\\u2019t end up taking her product idea anywhere, and I think it has real potential.\\xa0 Is there a \\u2018statute of limitations\\u2019 on the document I signed, and more importantly, is it ethically wrong for me to try to get this product to market without my friend\\u2019s blessing? I don\\u2019t want to make enemies, but I do want to make some money!\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices'
