ITT- You explain your current situation along with your "big plans" or "dream" for the future and have other anons give you advice/ridiculing.
>I am going into a software course next year that I dont really want to do because my parents pushed me into it. I am worried that I will hate it and drop out or only get a dead end job from it. Want to become a musician or artist who can made at least a basic living from that(amateurish skill in both things.) Feel like I will kill myself if I dont fulfill that desire and have to work as a shitty software engineer wagie for the rest of my life.
>try not to kill myself today That's about it. I know it will get better. It always does. For today, not dying is my goal.

Your big plan is to marinate steaks, stop weeding and get a truck license? No higher plans than that?

i have bare minimum education and work in retail. my iq has been legitimately tested as 122, with genius level verbal reasoning. im glad i didnt go to college and can pursue my own interests. for roughly 3 years i was heavily addicted to consuming any and all media related to serial murder, jeffrey dahmer being of particular interest (i had a picture of him up in my room at one point). i would love to be a highly regarded intellectual and/or writer.

Obviously going to save money and do whatever the fuck I please, Like I've been doing.
Nathaniel Cooper
That's an unique tale user. You actually write currently? Rejected your prior interest in serial killers or just lost interest? Also are you gay (because Dahmer)?
Jayden Nguyen
Currently got BTFO at starting up a business and having trouble making ends meet. Have a couple novels written and ideas for like 15 of them. Went to an anime convention a few months ago where the JET programme had a booth. Thought it sounded dope and, plus, I've been studying Japanese for a couple months. Decided I wanted to give it a shake.
Short term >Get job
Mid term >Pay for TEFL certification >Get accepted into JET programme >Teach English in Japan
Long term >Publish novels >Investments >Stay in Japan? >Judo blackbelt?
I'm moving to the states to marry my ftm boyfriend at the beginning of next year. I'm going to buy a small cafe with my savings. I've been in the restaurant industry since I was 13, I'm 24 now and work as the chef de partie at a very successful but downmarket restaurant.
Once that cafe becomes successful I'll branch out, buy 2 or 3 more small cafes. Once they become successful I'll purchase a restaurant and personally oversee it's growth. And depending on luck and years of hard work, I hope to establish a series of chain restaurants specialising in British style fish and chips.
It's a fucking long shot alright, with a thousand things that can go wrong at any point, but hey, fuck it, that's what it's all about.

OP here, I have a short time before I have to pay my college fee, should I go ahead if I have doubts or not do it like you? Also what do you read? Pretty much same question, is college a big mistake for outlier type people? How about joining/starting a commune? Fair enough Sounds solid, wish you well
Camden Jackson
i dabble, mostly writing essays for youtube. lost interest in serial killers, but my interest in the macabre is as strong as ever. dahmer and i have a remarkably similar personality profile.
go to college. it can't hurt. i had tremendous social anxiety and a whole host of other mental/personality problems. i was consumed by something i couldnt quite grasp. currently, im reading the conspiracy against the human race by thomas ligotti.
Jeremiah Lewis
> Stay in Japan? Aw man user I appreciate your goals but I really think it would be a good idea to do more thinking on career plans before you start JET (whether that involves going back to your home country or staying in Japan permanently). Don't be like my buddies who ended up spending their twenties in thankless eikaiwa contract work and now have fewer employment prospects than when they started JET.
Nicholas Nelson
Im concerned that if I'll drop out and waste money. Whats that book about?
Daniel Carter
it's basically a treatise on the misery of being a conscious being
Alexander Sanders
Thanks, I might read it sometime
Lucas Turner
What options do I have besides thankless contract work? That sounds exactly what labor is. I don't even have employment prospects with my STEM degree in the first place. No organization will ever care that I exist.
You are going to have to decide for yourself, it all depends on what your personal goals are. Since I failed at being an animator I am going to explore other interests of mine. Its your life, you have to think about what matters to you and what interests you.
>wagecuck and related for 2 yrs (needed, no way around it) >start psychology studies (for 8 yrs, 3yrs ba, 2 yrs ma, 3 yrs apprenticeship) >bf will have been done with school (well do the same thing) for 2yrs already so he can save up money and network if possible >(if possible he could take a loan when he finishes school and we go to the next step directly) >work towards building our own private office, invest at least 80% of the money, retire in 10-15 yrs completely LOADED
The total combined annual income is roundabout 800k. Question is, are there any related part time side gigs we can do to gather up money until the big day? We can surely get random stuff but I dont want to have 0 experience after 10 YEARS.
Hudson Baker
When I say "contract work" it's a labour distiniction that exists in Japan differently than in most Western countries. People hired as seishain ("real"/permanent employees) get labour rights that contract & dispatch employees don't have, and contract employees who stay long at one company have the right to become seishain so eikaiwa companies typically refuse to renew contract for too long and you need to hunt for another no advancement job every few years or go back home. I think it's a really tenuous situation long term even compared to getting a job like tutoring or customer service in your home country because you need to deal with that, plus the langage barrier.
I'm not saying don't do JET, a plan like "JET, then come back and teach TEFL at home" or "get a non-career track job, study Japanese to an intermediate level in your spare time, continue studies while JET, translator work" is fine. But JET in desperation produces scary scenarios.

This year I want to make a guro zine and make friends irl where we can indulge our creepy/creative interest together. Have been hanging out at goth and horror things over the last month or so, have been happy to get leads.
Ayden Evans
There's nothing to care about unless it gives you that feeling, user
I honestly find a way to judge if someone doesn't feel that unless they have no choice but to focus on survival.
I fucked up my engineering studies because I crashed my car and got depressed. Now I'm planning on doing a 2 year mechanic course while fixing up a new car from the junk yard with the parts from my crashed car. My biggest problem is that I'm socially retarded and low energy all the time and everything I do seems pointless at times. I haven't felt real happiness since 2013. I would like to cuddle with a girl in the back of a car sometime in my life but I can't stop feeling like I don't deserve this. Hopefully I can become a good mechanic some day and open up my own shop. Maybe restore old cars in my free time. Well to be honest I'm probably gonna fuck this up at some point and end up as your average wedgie.
Jaxon Ortiz
I'm currently in college for medicine. 4th semester. I'm barely.passing my exams. My plan is the same that it's been for as long as I can remember: >Just keep on doing what I'm doing and hope it works out. I hope I make it through my exams and find a job despite my shit social skills due too the giant demand for physicians.
I'm also learning to code in my free time, just cause it interests me. I guess if I fail college I could make a carrer out of that. But I don't really even want to think about the possibility of me failing (even tho it's sadly just too possible).
Another big fear I have is that I will never find a GF. Surprisingly, the current problem isn't my lack.of social skills but rather my lack of time.

Asher Carter
>waiting for my HR and Business degrees to get mailed out from my shitty college >working weekend security, looking for better security jobs >still live at home, no friends, wanna die
My plan is to get a better security job hopefully but every one requires a uniform, clean shave, and short hair. Once I get my degrees finally I'll start looking for office jobs, and go to a staffing agency. Then in the longrun I'd like to leave this cucked state

I can code, do manual labor, w/e but in the middle of bum fuck no where? With crippling social anxiety? Other options include joining military or walking a few days to the next big city and working as a wagie on the streets. Guess im just waiting to see if anything funny happens to my life at this point.

Join the navy, become an aircraft technician. Learn about jet propulsion systems, avionics and whatnot. Use the money I earn to get pilot licence, HAM radio licence and scuba diving certs in the meantime, as well as some actual GCSE's finally. After all this, get a car, preferably electric because cheaper to run than normal petrol here, and just save save save like a motherfucker throwing stacks into Vanguard Investments, S&P 500, physical gold and maybe a little bitcoin.
Currently working at a processing facility, but hours are getting cut all around Short term: >Studying in free time to get certified as a pharm tech >Want to get higher paying entry position at a mail order pharmacy Mid term: >Save up for proper PC and learn to use unity >Make a game and eventually release it on mobile/PC Long term: >I have no plans after this

im training to become a pro MMA fighter
my plan is to eventually fight in a big promotion like the UFC
I started training martial arts late in life (at 20) and I have no particular talent in the sport but I have an autistic passion for it and I'm not going to listen to all the fucking normies who tell me i need to get a steady career and make money and raise a family

Ethan Reyes
25, been working with poor kids who want to go to college the past few years but burnt out on it right around the time of the college admissions scandal
moved states with my gf who makes enough money so that I don't have to work. Gonna still work part time and work on some video games I've always wanted to make, and save up enough money with her for me to go back to school for CS. I feel incredibly lucky, most of my life has been fucked so I'm uneasy with things going well and me being fortunate. Want to be able to make my own indie games eventually, maybe sell a few copies.
