Life sucks because if you don't do it right THE FIRST TIME, you're pretty much screwed forever and ever. You have pretty much one chance to have the nice easy life you dream of, and if you mess it up, you'll struggle every day after that just to be okay.
If you're young and reading this, please just play it safe. Go to any college, community, whatever, and get a degree in something that will directly enable you to get a job, like computer science or business or graphic design or something like that. If you can't go to college, learn a bunch of crap about computers, smile your winning teenaged smile at a likely looking employer and get hired anyway.
Do not fuck it up. Take the easy safe way. Once you have a bunch of money saved up, THEN, and only then, do whatever it was you wanted to do, or dream of doing, or whatever.
Unless that is, you want to spend the next 10 years eating mac and cheese, struggling to pay for all the crap life seems to require to be reasonably tolerable, and dressing in the same clothes you wore, well, yeah, 10 years ago.
I'm 28, and just designed a massive data entry web site FOR FREE, because you know, I'm just an intern. After I deal with all the emails I get about the site and requests for additional work, I eat something cheap, smoke something cheap, and ignore all the OTHER emails from everyone who wants to know when I will pay for this or that, and then I reply to the other emails and phone messages for jobs I've applied to -- grocery stores, temp agencies, coffee shops.
It could and would suck worse if most everyone else in my life would stfu. The only person I want to hear talk is my best friend. Everyone else just wants something I can't give, like for me to pay my credit card bill or something. JESUS. | |
