"I'm overflowing with ambition but I got to keep in mind the bottom line is the dollar signs."

I've concluded that choosing a course of action to determine 1) your future occupation 2) your niche and contribution in society and 3) essentially, the next 20-30 years of your life is completely ridiculous and unrealistic. So why are people so greedy for an answer when they ask you, "what do you want to do with your life?"

To complicate matters, I think I fall in that large group of people that either don't do anything well enough to think they should do it for a living, or don't think they do anything that well at all. It's pretty simple though: I know what I can't do, I know what I absolutely won't do, and I know what I don't want to do.

It's somewhere around the time I started looking back on what I've been doing the last few weeks and how I felt about the whole major/career planning thing that I realized something pretty simple. I'm damn immature when it comes to actually doing something with my life. I'm basically as confused and directionless as I was in high school except now I'm in debt and need to figure how I'm going to be paying my rent and buying my food in a few year.

After all the drama last week, I'm surprised this even fazes me.
