Who here chasing ambitious futures?

I'm an actor and am on this road till I make it or die. It's been quite a grind and sacrifice, I feel like I don't want to go back to a conventional 9-5 lifestyle although the comfort seems nice.
Who else is taking the road less traveled?

I definitely chase an ambitious future when it comes to my Aikido training. As far as career goes though, no I make enough money and am happy having a job without too much responsibility.

I don't know, I'm kinda in the middle. I want to be a traveling musician but I can't see a way out. I used to just be wild as fuck and barely scrape by but that got me no where but closer to prison so I chilled out a little and now I'm looking more at nature lol damn, I wish I could find some like minded folks who wanna just jam with me out in the trees and under the stars.

I'm chasing a career in physics, which I suppose is ambitious (?). It's not necessarily removed from the "9 to 5" thing that so many people on these boards are afraid of, but I like doing research. Based on my grad school experience thus far I'd say physics is more of a 24/7 type of job.

I am but being a realist I know I have more potential than the rest of my peers. I'm 10x better than they are at what we all try to do. At least my old professors said I was the most intellectually capable student they've witnessed in their combined 80 years of teaching so yeah if someone is going to achieve a lot well thats me.

I'm trying to get my degree in engineering. It's honestly a very ambitious goal for me. Most of my friends either don't go to college, or chose to study something relatively easy compared to what I'm doin. All I hear em talking about is chilling and having a good time. My classes are real stressful for me right now, I think I'm gonna be able to get through it though. Once I'm done my main goal is to move out to Silicon Valley

I too am super intelligent 
I suffer from a pretty severe lack of ambition though 
I just want to live the easy life, preferably in New Zealand...

I'm not chasing it, I'm waiting for it to come to me.
That's how to get ahead in life, right?

Also nicechrisman did you not buy yourself into semi-ownership of some sort of organic garden/growery type thing?

Have you been to new zealand man? I visited for the first time recently and it was absolutely incredible. If shit starts goin south in the states, NZ is on my potential places to head. Everyone there seemed super chilled out. I've heard the drug laws are strict but it may be worth the sacrifice

No but I work at a garden center that is an employee owned business. Basically you earn shares in the business from working there. The longer you've been the more shares you earn. I guess it can add up to pretty good money after a while.

I'm at a crossroads in life.
Quit school, choose an ambiguous future of being a producer/photographer/musician/artist Or commit to school, become a landscape architect and join a prestigious firm that my mentor founded.
I think I'm gonna get through school though, because the artist gig can wait.

I finished school and currently have a career that sustains my needs and allows me to proactively prepare for retirement. At this point, it's a matter of keeping myself amused and figuring out how to continue to develop as a person and as a spouse.

I don't see it as arrogance if it's just a matter of fact.
