Natural Talents
There is an old saying that everyone has one thing in life that they are good at.  One thing for which they have a natural talent.  This sounds great, but what if my talent is something that was only useful like eight hundred years ago?  Like, what if I'm a really good at jousting?  What if I'm like the best jouster who ever lived, but I'll never know because when the hell am I ever going to joust? And what if I did joust, like at a Ren Fest or something, and realized that I am really good at it?  What then?  What can I do with that knowledge? Get a job at Medieval Times? I don't want to work at Medieval Times.  That's like number three on the list of jobs I don't want, right after Coal Miner and Guy At Rape-Prevention Classes Who Wears That Padded Suit And Gets Kicked In The Nuts Over And Over Again.
