Chase's seminary background was very intriguing to me, because I love to explore religious issues. I do think that it's always there for him, even when he rejects it. I think that in later seasons, he is working for House more because he realizes that he loves to "do crazy shit" than for any other reason. Once he sorts out some other personal issues, I think he does realize that he likes being able to engage in creative problem solving. I do like the way the creative process is depicted on the show. Medicine is definitely not an exact science. I like seeing how House and his team sweat through the diagnostic process until they finally get a break. It's a lot closer to the actual creative process: you work and work and your unconscious processes let things cook until you finally make a new connection. You don't just get brilliant ideas out of nowhere.

In regard to Chase, I do think he got what he wanted in his professional life. I really liked the episode where he met the nun. He thought he had fallen in love with her, but I think it was more that she showed him the possibility of something more. He identified with her struggle. That quick infatuation showed him that he wanted to be on a different path. And the fact that he always seems to jump into things with both feet reveals that he really wants something more out of his personal life, even if he's not sure what it is.
