I posted a blog last week talking mostly about how I can't stand my apathy, so I think I'm ready to take charge on it. A couple of people told me that it seems like I'm not exactly a fan of working for other people or going to school. Well, they're 100% right. I hate it. It's killing me slowly with the depressing mood it puts me in. This leads me to my first difficult decision. After I get my associate's degree, I'm stopping schooling. At least temporarily. My GPA is shit and I've only got 1 semester left, so might as well finish it up.
They suggested I try to make my own business. Well, I kind of did a couple of months back, but I never really had the money to start it up properly and it just kind of sits there. That and my profit margin wasn't that great, so it was a lot of effort for not a lot of money.
I sat around a lot last week brainstorming ideas on what I could do. I came up with 2 ideas that, starting this summer, I will be putting into place. One of which is a craft, and the other is programming. Essentially, this is going to be a lot of work, but it's not so much that I can't do it after work. That leads me to my second hard decision. If and when I can consistently make more money on these side projects than my current job for one month, I will quit my job. If I believe I can make more money by quitting my job and making a business, I'd be a fool not to.
When I finally launch these projects, I'll try my best to post them in a way that's not advertising, but I really hope I can get somewhere with this. I've just been so unhappy with everything I am and I know the only person to blame is myself.

Just a thought, have you tried online courses? Your preference for craft and programming suggest to me that you prefer to work independently, which is more suitable for online education than the school environment.

Yeah, most of my classes are online since my major is programming. To be honest, they're more of a pain than my live lectures because my PC has SC2 on it. Too easy to get distracted. Especially since I don't want to do it in the first place

You sound like an entrepreneur and/or an artist, because I relate a lot to what you've said. You probably need to spend lots of time focusing on either a business or art. I personally am trying to do both, and work, and have a social life. It's hard.
