Well education is actually a tool, something like a security that once you get some form of certification you would be able to have a good chance at getting a job, but life is not a one size fits all, but you need to not put all your eggs in one basket, try to get some kind of diploma or certification so that you can get a job and look for something that you really want to do, it is all about research it might take you a few days or years to finally find your calling, perhaps you would like to be your own boss and run your shop or a company serving other companies or consumers, I feel that life is what you make of it and of course it is easier said then done but it is a battle and you need to fight for your happiness and for those you love, Good Luck!

PS: One of the easiest ways to get experience and be your own boss with a good head start is to be part of a Franchise but be careful business plan is very important don’t be too optimistic, always be ready for the worst scenario.

Everyone has days when they get sick of what they are doing, perhaps you need to take a short break (not too long) and spend time on the things you like to do rather than the things you have to do :O)

Snar - don’t stress too much about it. You have a curse similar to mine - a great awareness of the futility of so much of life. For me, its not life generally, which I enjoy, its mostly the constructs that we’ve created as society. The seriousness people take in so much of what they feel is important, but really is transitory and fleeting.

Even today - 20 years after graduating from college - I look around at my friends who are deep in the thick of careers in finance, law or other professions. And while I sometime envy the respect society accords them as ‘professionals,’ when I really think about what they do all day, well, I yawn. Its boring. When I hear about all the strategy meetings they have to analyze this or that, I can’t help but think ‘what a waste of energy.’ So much of it is pointless. I do try hard not to slip into nihilism, but it is tough to escape the fact that we are just racing toward death. So why have a heart attack early because some project or another is due. No one will care or remember in 50 years. And I hate to break it to everyone. 50 years after you die, no one will even remember you. They’ll likely be dead too.

That said, you do have to live in this world. Look, I’ve had a great 18 year career in higher education and prior to that in the art world. I found a niche that I enjoyed - tolerably well and that I thought had a purpose - educating others. I think what might help is just accepting that so much of life is bull. It really is. If you accept it and embrace it you know what? It is incredibly liberating. You find you don’t waste time on the small junk that bogs everyone else done. Then try to find something that gives what short time you have here some meaning. Help others make it through. You’ll find your happiness and feel free too.

Thanks Snar, I personally feel that I am helping myself heal by being there for others :O)

And I do remember you though, but I think you changed your Avatar, I have not been often on the site, so not everyone really notices me :OP

three years on this site, but almost everyone I know have left the site and now I hear they are going to shut it down, well all things come to an end eventually.

I really think you are criticizing yourself too hard, its nice to recognize your good side and accomplishments(what ever their size)and take it easy, I feel life is like the weather you never know what happens tomorrow, you are not lazy, imagine all the lazy things you could have done like waste your life.

sometimes we spend so much time on materialistic things we forget our spiritual side, and that might make you feel down, you know, life is not just food and drink, how about doing something, (not too big or small, perhaps nostalgic) that is completely out of your daily routine on your own or with anyone you feel comfortable with even a stranger, perhaps that might make you feel different.

Wish you a lovely day!

True :O), I liked how Hughes said it, i even marked it as a favorite.

alrighty, well, if you dont wanna be there, then dont. someone else will be glad of the dorm room and education.
no law saying you have to be there, after all.

well, its kinda obvious isnt it?

lmao. ok dood. have a cry about it.

oh come on. you practically answered your own questiont here, then when someone agrees with something you said, but now you dont want to hear it, IM the disrespectful one?
all you had to say was “i dont agree, thnxkbai”.
