Brilliant minds.....don't waste your time :)

I graduate from highschool with honours. Twelve years of hard work, dedication, and shit loads of homework. No fun, whatsover. But worth it in the end, because now I know that i'll be college material if I set my mind to it. I got outa highschool and realised,"ohh shit, what am I gonna do with the rest of my life?" My first original plan was, "i think i'll work at Save-on for a little while to save up so i can go travel....give my mind a little break while i figure out what to do." I then decided to buy a car instead.... I wish I could have experienced what it was like to travel and learn a bit about life that way, but a car was more important. So I got out a loan, and was on my way with that. I then continued to work at Save-On, and kept on thinking of career possibilities. I went from plumber, to firefighter, to Cop, back to firefighter...and now Practical Nursing.

Two years have passed since i graduated. Two years of life wasted. Working at Save-On is a good way to kill somebody's ambitious spirit, nevermind rot a brain away. Doing the same mindless routine everyday....I really dont understand how i've been at this job so long? Makes me wonder how some people have worked there for 30 years? I'll be damned. Well my friends, its time for me to move on. I applied to college, not too sure if i'll get in or not....time will tell i guess. I'm also hopefully gonna be starting construction in the next few weeks. If i like it or not, is the question. If i decide i do like it and its something i'm passionate about, i might consider starting an apprenticeship.

It's hard to make a decision like this. A career is what i'll be doing for the next 40 years? I wish i could just pick something and go with it, but that would be a money waster if i go to college for something i decide i dont like. I really dont wanna work for somebody else. Like REALLY DONT. I will never get rich working for somebody else, and trust me...life sucks that way. I wanna be my own boss, take time off whenever i feel like it. You know what i said to myself pretty much the first week i worked at Save-On...almost 5 years ago? I told myself "I never wanna be like this...slave my life away like all these people, so one man can get rich? Fuck that.... I wanna be that rich man." Do I smell business school coming on? I'm not sure :p A friend of mine came up with a cool business idea....is that light at the end of this tunnel? Who knows homeys ;) Thanks for reading,
Davey
