What do you want to do with your life?

Jun 11, 2008 10:16

Sounds like an easy enough question, right?  But to tell you the truth, I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life.

Before I continue with this, I just want to say that I DO know some things that I would love to do with my life.  However, these things either require prerequisites that I don't have any desire whatsoever to pursue, they won't give me what I need for a worry-free life (usually low salary), or are just a bit too unrealistic/farfetched to become reality for me.

Here's what I want to do:
-Play professional baseball
-Play videogames for a living
-Police Officer/Detective
-FBI Special Agent
-Astronaut
-Fighter Pilot
-Be in a rock band for a living
-Boxer

Here's what life is making a bitch to pursue (for the most part):
-Play professional baseball
-Play videogames for a living
-Police Officer/Detective
-FBI Special Agent
-Astronaut
-Fighter Pilot
-Be in a rock band for a living
-Boxer

So, in short, I don't know what to do with my life.  I just graduated college and to be honest, I really don't want to go back to school unless the most amazing job offer comes my way.  School is longer for me, I think.  But don't get me wrong, I greatly admire and respect those that can continue on with school to do what they want in life.  But that's just it, that's what I'm lacking.  I'm lacking the necessary drive to take me where I need to go.  And to be honest, that depresses me.  It really does.

I have friends who knew that they wanted to be doctors/lawyers/accountants/architects/biomedical engineers/etc. pretty much their whole lives, and they took/are taking the necessary steps in order to achieve these goals.  And me?  I have nothing.

I want to be famous.  I want to mean something in life.  I want to do something important.  I want to save people.  I want to do something I enjoy.  I want to entertain people.  I want to be the best at something.

...I sound like I want to be "Made".  This sucks.
