]]> (the) modern children's lives didn't bring more happiness (to it), but somehow deprived it (them?) of boredom and a big amount of free time kids used to have in the pre-digital era. And thus digital gadgets (subject) deprived them from a so called "wandering mind" that historically provoked in young people research inclinations and activities in young people. I'm not saying that the relatively more time (spent) alone with ourselves that we used to have in our pre-digital childhoods made us happier, but it definitely made us more free and eager to explore the real life and enjoy "touching the grass" activities. Anyway, I'm glad I'm old. G. Wether Whether (= subordinate clause) to try trying to transform your lovely fulling hobby into your career significantly depends on its financial and other self-realization-related perspectives (like social benefits , a compensation package, building important social bonds, promotion opportunities, insured stability etc.) or not, then... (main clause missing). In my personal case all of the listed prerequisites unfortunately seem to give me very low chances to carry of carrying on this career transformation. Besides (= adverb) that OR Beside (= preposition) that, the amount of inner motivation and aspiration such a transformation may require is enormous, and as the financial and social risks increase, it only grows. H. Yes, once I had happened to have a cold fish boss. Mine was very emotionally-restrained and dry, closed and unsociable. Since then I consider the experience of interaction with such people as one of the most valuable social experiences in life because having faced (OR having had to put up) with it you (have to) obtain a whole social toolkit. First, you have to learn not to perceive his/her pokerface and very restrained (if not hostile) reactions as the constructive feedback of your work's results. Meaningless emotions should not be overscored overestimated | given too much significance and taken closely. Second, it's good to learn within this very limited palette of emotions and feedbacks feedback how to identify meaningful (both positive and negative) signals and to react back properly, giving the required results. Well, if you have enough patience to adapt to such communication style, a normal working process can be built. ]]> 75
