Since we're at this juncture already... Maybe ET can go back to college, find his true calling and become a professor. Then you can probe him for answers. Okay.. 7:30am, time for bed serously. | ||

I am mostly content, not because of my job but because i can do the things i enjoy after work like playing Sc2 beta or going out.  What i'm trying to say is maybe you should focus about what would make you happy in life and earn enough with whatever job you find to do it. Of course it's only my opinion, some people find joy in their job. | ||

"One of my best friends, who went through YEARS of civil engineering and is currently working in that field, with a good paying job, has his own home already....... is still a virgin and insanely insanely lonely/socially repressed." i would trade my handsomeness for his smart look every time. hard labor works suck ball  with money you can have everything even friend and love. | ||

I used to envy my friends that went to college (I did for 1 year then dropped out) for having it all 'figured out' until they graduated; most of THEM had no clue what they wanted to do, and many took on basic jobs that had nothing to do with their major (essentially starting their working lives 4 years after me). Even the ones that did stick with it, and are working in their field doing what they want to do, don't necessarily have it all laid out. One of my best friends, who went through YEARS of civil engineering and is currently working in that field, with a good paying job, has his own home already....... is still a virgin and insanely insanely lonely/socially repressed. tl;dr - Everyone is envious of everyone else, one way or another. Focus on yourself; even if you don't know what you want to do. Worrying about other people will accomplish nothing but make you more depressed. hmm, your friend sounds like me. i got into med school (w00t) but am depressed and lonely and socially awkward. i guess it's the price you pay. | ||

After (high)school, I started working various low-paid jobs like construction and service work.. it went on until I was 24 or something, when I realised how much I loathed this type of work, and it helped me get back to studying. What the hell... why do you say what the hell. it is very common. i'm basically like that. what are you saying, that i don't deserve a break? sure, i am socially repressed and depressed now, but when i'm done and have a career and all that stuff, i think having a good paycheck and going out more often, i'll be able to catch back up on the socializing pretty quickly. | ||

if I don't fuck up in the military and ruin my credibility then I will run for political office with all the baller contacts i will undoubtedly make. + 55k a year starting with many-a-raises will make me rich as fuck in my mind. | ||

Came back after a year break, about to drop out again, same reason as ETT. What I realized is that most of the people who complain that they don't know what they want to do haven't actually tried that many things. It's like saying "I CAN'T DECIDE WHICH ICECREAM FLAVOR I LIKE THE MOST" when you've only tried the one that was the safest choice and never had the guts to try the ones you had no idea what they would taste like. Go work, any job, any workshop, anything that you can try. Even the jobs you may call shitty and useless will allow you to learn something about yourself and the world. I got a job at a telecomunications company, giving people phone information. I even surprised myself at how much I grew from that "shitty, one-dimensional job." I started to read books again, I do stuff with plants, I plan to further explore my guitar skills, I have a contact that'll hook me up with a piano teacher. I have many other things in the backburner of my mind and I'll try hard to put their status to 'ACTIVE' instead of 'ON HOLD FOR UNDEFINED AMOUNT OF TIME'. Do stuff! | ||

I told myself 2 years ago that I'm going back to school to get a career change (I've come to loathe the call center life). But here I am, fresh from college and no company in Singapore or Canada would even send me a "thank you" email for sending my resume. Now, I'm thinking of just going back to the friggin' call center just so my parents (yes, I still live with my parents) don't see me lounging around here at home and just play and watch SCBW all day. (and just now, South Korea lost to Uruguay in the Ro16.. drat..) So there, I guess I'm just like you, dude Pathology. I guess I'll just down what's left of my dad's bottle of 40% Jack Daniels. Here's to all of us who are just, uhm, lost.. And that we may hopefully find what we actually want in life, and sooner, rather than later.  | ||

That's the reason I dropped out in the first place... not lack of funds, my grades were fine, I was motivated ok; I just didn't care at all for what I was there for. I had always thought to myself "I'll spend a couple years working and figure out what I really want to do", but in all honesty, that hasn't happened yet. Actually, I fear I may never figure out what I want to do in life, or I may figure it out really late in the game. @Biscuittt - Hey fuckface! Post more!!  Pretty much the best you can do when you don't have direction is to either work a job that improves the value of your labor dramatically (AKA doctor/lawyer/financial analyst), or work a job that gives you lots of exposure to different fields, thereby providing the most opportunities for you to run into something that catches your fancy. | ||

The best we can do is pick something and go for it. Life is an adventure, if it doesn't suit you just find something new. Don't trick yourself into thinking you will find what 'you're meant to do' at a young age; it takes many people years. Just don't get stuck in something you hate. | ||

I do not follow your lack of logic,sorry.I do balloons and ice carving, booth of witch I love, where I deal with people like I described before. I enjoy my job I do not enjoy dealing with those assholes but I must.And since my business would not be if not for them I must keep them happy one way is to be nice polite and try to do all I can to provide a quality service.I may not like dealing with weasels but they do pay me money at something I love to do sooo......umm no offense but piss off. | ||
