It's occurred to me recently that I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. Well. My life after RAGS, anyway. There isn't an area of study that interests me enough to feel like spending so much money on for college. I know, I know, there's so much expectation of going to college and all, but...I'm not really passionate about any particular

Dunno whether that speaks about Americans being unable to decided what job they like or whether it's natural to be undecided about what you want to be.

I think at least to a point it's natural....I just wonder if I'm past that point.

And to be very honest, most of us are pretty clueless about what we want to do. I still haven't a clue about where I want to go or what I want to do. You've just got to follow what you think is right, when you think it's right.
(ooc: Yeah, I was shocked too, when I first heard the stat, but a lot of people I know are like that. Mostly I think it's because of the difficult nowadays to holding onto one job with one set of people, especially with the world's economy being dreadful. And haha, it's better than me. I'm on job #0 :P)

Yeah, but it's hard to let go. My dad, when he was actively involved in my life, was always all about how he wanted me to have my life planned out by the time I was 16... Of course, he stopped pushing so hard after I got sent away to boarding school, but the expectation stuck to me.
(ooc: I do kind of feel like a total veteran at my current job. I've been there for 5 years now, and between that and 2 other locations, I've been doing it for a total of 9 years. OTL I WANT A NEW JOB )

That sucks. Barely anyone can plan out their life at 16. I wasn't mature enough to know what I wanted at 16. I still don't think I'm mature now. It's a silly idea to try and plan out your future entirely, because what you want and the climate of the world, changes. I've always thought the best possible trait in someone, is adaptability, because we live in a constantly morphing and changing world.
I know it's difficult to let go of something that's always been said to you, but you'll be happier for it. *bad Jamaican accent* Don't worry man, be happy!
(ooc: wow, that is a pretty long! Do you enjoy what you're doing though? I mean, changing just for the sake of it, is pretty pointless. Brilliant, now I sound like a psychiatrist)

When I was 16, the only thing that mattered to me was learning to control my power. And I admit, though it's not quite perfect yet, I'm definitely much closer to it now than I was then. I don't know how adaptable I am, though.
XDDD At least there are people like you to make me laugh when I think too hard.
(ooc: Not really. It's not a bad job, by any means, but...after 9 years of it, it's gotten pretty monotonous, and the money's not as good as it used to be. That's one downside of this particular line of work - unstable pay. Plus, while I can't say what I do want to be doing for a career for the rest of my life, I can say that this isn't it. I don't wanna be a lifer. *pats psychiatrist-you* :D )

(I think I'm liking quoting random statistics, alittle too much. If I'm not careful, I'll start sounding like Inui-san ( ... )
