I don't know very many people that fit that description. :)
Then again, I don't meet people at yoga classes or live in Portland, either. Ha ha. TBH, people in those 'fields' generally annoy the crap out of me, and I wouldn't want to spend any time with them. (Nurses are ok...they are usually well grounded.) They usually are trying to sell me something like supplements or a class. And then I feel a bit sad, because I feel a lack of genuine interest or friendship on their part. I hate the feeling that I am being hustled. If I want something, I'll buy it. Sheesh...
I like people who really have expertise in what they do. Not like the short timer credentials a lot of the jobs you mention have. Mostly, though, I like people who amuse me. I learn a lot from these whackjobs. I probably only have one friend who even vaguely aspires to being a 'healer', and he generally turns it off when he's not at work. But I would say most of my friends do not have life figured out, are acutely aware of this fact, and are astounded that we only get about 80 years to figure it out, and wished that they could figure out what the heck is going on. We also do not seem to have any desire to have someone else give us their answer.
That would be cheating. Taking someone else's answer. Or it's like those math problems you'd get in High School that you'd work on forever and bang your head against the desk only to find out in class that it was unsolvable. I do enjoy how you "show your work"!
