It's a gamble. If you settle early, you can have something fairly secure and modest. If you work very hard at something, you can build off of a modest base, possibly to something pretty decent. If you enjoy that something you're working at, then there's no problem. However, not a lot of people do what they enjoy, and those that do often don't enjoy it for long.
Are you a gambling man? I don't gamble with money, I'd probably be broke in no time. I'm going to do a bit of gambling with my life though. I'll see where I end up... It's kind of crappy, probably not the wise thing to do, but I've consistently proven that I can't really do anything else. I haven't really explained this well at all...
Think outside the box.
By the way: I don't do very well when I plan for the future, if I did, I'd be in a much better position right now. There are always those who die young, those who end up with shitty lives, those people you are glad you are not. This is what happens when you become that person. It's kind of exciting.
I haven't explained that very well either. Screw it.

There is one obvious sollution if you want neither career nor shitty job. Well, sort of a sollution, and Iv'e mentioned it many times; Work a few months, then go somewher cheap. Live there rest of year. Repeat untill, I don't know. Till you're settled with a family or something. Or tired of the travelling. Or want more money. Or...

Ulyses, I feel the exact same way....caught in the middle of someone elses expectations, and my own dreams....I think I'm going to follow my dreams and live life my way though....
Just because they already wasted theirs doesnt mean I have to too right?

Perhaps you're trying to decide what life is all about so that you can decide which road to take.
Good idea.

Timeleech: That's something I have thought about. I actually have two cousins who've been doing that, they like it. One's spent a lot of time in Guatemala, and the other in Mexico. As a matter of fact another cousin of mine on the other side of the family spent a year in Mexico teaching english to a family. I should get moving.
RainZ: Go for it. I don't like to recommend possible dead end paths to many people, but like I said, it's a gamble. If you want to take it, go for it.

earlier last year i filled up my gas tank and it stopped on $13.13, same price as Be Here Now - i didn't even realize it was Friday the 13th until i told my housemate.

Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good.
If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.
It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.
I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.
