Im 60 years old and and currently my 'Niche' is Digital Art. Before that it was United States Marine, Truck Driver, Biker, Welder, woodworker, glass blower, painter, sculptor, gambler, mechanic, astronomer, photographer, anarchist, Home remodeler. ect ect, do you see where Im going? Well if you do, please tell me, because I still dont. Everyday is a new experience and that's what people share here. That being said I enjoyed reading what you posted here and keep in mind Nonconformity is a 'Niche' itself. :)
