Ok so heres the deal.  TCF wanted to hire me.  I was supposed to have my second interview today.  I didn't go because  (1) I was told if I didn't want to make a career of it I should pursue other options by the branch manager, (2) its not the career I want, (3) I don't want a career.
I told Susan today that there is no job that can challenge my mind that doesn't require a degree or three.  We agreed that I should make my own job that challenges and stimulates me.  So the plan as of right now is to find a job waiting tables a few nights a week making oodles of money.  Which will then free up the rest of my time to further develope the salsa, jewelry boxes and coffee/bookstore ideas.  I believe it is my destiny to be successful in either one of these businesses or another idea that will be born while working towards the initial three. 
While doing this I am trying to stay as supportive and encouraging to my wife's ambitions regarding school and career choices as she has been to mine.  I don't know how to be encouraging without sounding like a drill sgt.  so instead I stay silent sometimes.  I don't want her to ever think I don't think highly of her in every aspect.  She must never doubt that I believe that she can do anything she chooses.  She has a mind on par or greater than my own.  I just don't know how to tell her or show her.
