28: Talents, Dreams, Working and Unworking

In this episode, my 20-year-old daughter, Imogen, and I talk about what she wants to do when she finishes her university degree in a few months' time.
What are Imogen's dreams for the future, and is it possible for her to follow them?
Should I encourage her in these dreams?
Or should I point her in the direction of safe and secure employment?
We all have talents. Are we obliged to use them?
What might the word 'unworking' mean?
Using our own definition of the word, should unschooling lead to unworking?
Unschoolers are different. Can this be frustrating?
And what new adventure might Imogen and I be setting out on? 
Please visit my blog Stories of an Unschooling Family to read the program notes.
