" And I haven't found it. I get bored and discouraged too easily. Every job I've ever seen was incredibly stressful or incredibly repetitive and mind-numbing. "
well then I guess Id have to consider myself pretty Damn Lucky then, I went to college for 3yrs trying to get a degree in GIS for surveying and GPS, never graduated because i pretty much fucked off my classes and did drugs......... went back to live with the parents and found a job as a rodman, The lowest position i could be in with little money, but its with good people that I love and I get to be outside all day Long, get stoned given the right time / place, and find all sorts of cool mushrooms come and work with us, lol

I've tried the whole "traveling to find yourself thing". It was definately fun and I'm down to do it anytime but it didn't work to give me any ideas on what to do.

Seems ro me lke you've never had to do anything in your life before because you always knew you had a trust fund to fall back on.
When I was in college, there were plenty of things that I had to do in order to get a degree. Sometimes when you are forced to do things, it forces you to consider paths in life you may not otherwise have chosn.

I know that I'm spoiled and I know that I'm lazy. You'll get no arguments there. I need a kick in the ass. Some type of life-energizing realization or action that injects adrenaline and purpose into me.
really, you hate everything you do........
every new job, every new career, youll hate bartending soon enough and then quit, because you dont really need a job atm.
find somthing to do with your life before your cash stash runs out or youre going to be reallllly fucked

Wow. Now I understand why people hate trust fund kids so much. You're going to have to find some way to motivate yourself. I think you need to find a hobby, find some passion for something. For instance my hobby is music, and I've grown to love it so much that I can't imagine myself in any career field that doesn't involve music.
If you don't want to put in any hard work you're not going to become good at anything. Whatever it is that is going to gain you renown and prestige, you're going to have to be severely committed to it. Whatever your path is, if you want that much out of it, its going to have to own you. But if you're fine with staying lazy you can probably buy your way through a semi-comfortable, boring and unsatisfactory life with the funds that have been allotted to you.

OK I went and read through the entire thread. I posted my first reply after reading through only the first two pages. Now I see that I've only repeated what others have been saying over and over.
Anyway Randall, from your posts over the last few years I thought you were an OK guy. Now I think you're an OK guy at imminent risk of becoming a douche. An unfulfilled life is one of the worst fates a human being can suffer, what with our outstanding inherent potential. I have been in a similar state of dormancy and fear of exertion that you are in. But its bullshit, you will feel like a million bucks once you start to put some hard work in. You'll feel like you really deserve the beer and the bong after a good hard day of work. And the high will only be the icing on the cake of the buzz you get from being a contributing member of society. I'm not shitting you.
Your fear of work may seem logical but its actually irrational and backwards.

It's not worth it? you're god damned right! All she did was work to provide for you so you can be a lazy bastard.
Why don't you just provide the funds to someone more worthy and willing to make something of themselves. You can fund a movie and then call yourself the "Executive Producer" ohhhhh ahhhhh.
Good luck on your quest, Randal Hilton.

My money did not come from her effort; it came from my father's life insurance policy when he died. Any money that I have borrowed from my mother I have paid back.

You guys are totally right. I have it better than most people and I need to man up and stop complaining.
However, I have a serious problem when it comes to deciding WHAT to do. Should I pursue spirituality? Should I pursue a career? Should I pursue altruism? Should I pursue materialism? I truly have not found anything that I can consistently follow or that I can get any fulfillment out of. I am truly lost and I wish I wasn't.
