Where are you in 'the pipeline'? If you haven't signed up, and want someone to tell you what awaits you, I think that in the end that answer would be failure.

There is SO much information 'out there' - on this site and in books recently published that IF you need someone other than that 'little voice' in the back of your head to let you know what YOU should DO, you are probably not what SF is looking for and will not survive the process.

I believe that SF is a 'calling' - not too different from the calling missionaries I know received. I knew instantly that it was for me, and that I would do all I could to achieve it. Most others I know in SF experienced something similar. If, as you say, you HAVE searched and read, and you do not KNOW if this is the path for you --- it is not.

Tequila... you sadden me.
