What do i want to be /??

[lxorl]

Im stuck in a rut.... im 26 and working a shitty job, with no future. Granted i just moved and this is a meantime job, but i still feel in a rut. I want a career that i can be proud of. I just dont know what i want to do. I feel like im starting to get older and life and opportunity is passing me by. It seems like i have a new idea every week of what i should do with myself, but I never follow up with it, partly because there just whimsical ideas, and partly because they are ideas that are more or less out of reach at this point in my life.....

Help me make some decisions, maybe point me in the right direction. I know some of you older members have been here.

Solid advice Frig.

[lxorl]

thanks... some good advice in there....

but my biggest problem is what do i want to do? I have no clue. I have thoughts, but most of them are glorified daydreams.

the more time that goes by, the more depressed i get because i get no where on this. I have no problem taking a chance on a dream, I just need a dream.

[lxorl]

man, ive been living that dream for a good while now...... A playboy photographer would be good.... but like i said most of my thoughts are more glorified daydreams.

What are some more of those dreams, they may not be as far fetched as you think.

Friggemall is 40 damn 3, I'm 40 f*cking 7.

I have had 6 different jobs in the last 25 years, so what. Were any of them respectable, a career, something that you're not ashamed to tell peolple what you do for a living? You betcha. Quit every f*cking one of them. I'm comfortable now with what I do, but I was more like Saturn around his age, good income, hated the job everyday.

Get a job, a career, a life that you are happy with, not that you can be proud of, that's for other people and future father-in-laws.

When you have to get up every morning for the next 20 or so years dreading every minute that you spend at work, you'll probably come around to the notion that maybe you should be happy with what you do. You should always be anxious to get to work, it should be something you look forward to every day.

If you can't do that (I haven't yet a 100%), then make sure you have a passion that you can indulge in every day to take away the stress. Most important, because without some relief, you'll go nuts.

For me it was my wife, kids, cooking and doing work on my house. I'm going to lose all of that very soon as well, so once again, time to regroup and move forward.

Don't stress so much now, you do have a lot of time and sometimes if you're lucky, you may wake up one day and know exactly what you want to do.

I'm still waiting for that day, LOL

are you going through a divorce?? sorry to hear it.

I want to be gov of california! lol

Just do what makes you happy!

[Morgan]

Yeah, I'm toast now, thanks for asking. I knew it was coming, couldn't stop it (read - she can't be bothered any more, won't go to counseling, nada), so I have to pack up and move on. Wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. And that's twenty-seven years total together. We'll see what happens.

Great Morgan, that's why I look up to you. No not because you've got a few years on me, but because of your great words of wisdom. That is a very good way to look at things.

Yepper!
