What to do when I grow up?
September 12, 2017 at 6:26 pm
Hey guys.
I've been pretty bored lately, and I've been thinking what I wanted to be when I grow up. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I'm still not sure. I was thinking about becoming a panhandler for the rest of my life, but it seems like a lazy way to get money. About a year and a half ago, I was in China for a two week field trip. I begged for money with my harmonica, and got some from a little boy, and some from his mother, and that was it. So, this really turned me off from that. Then, I thought about becoming an MMA fighter for my career. My father said I only wanted to do this because he thinks I'm violent. Every thing else in life seems boring, but I know I have to get a job doing something. I have a little more than a year and a half till I'm 18. I know many people change their majors quite a bit, but I'm just not sure. Any advice? Thanks.

You're bored, young, violent, and you play the harmonica. You could have a bright future in prison.

All the classic requirements for an ex-con blues man. It's been done, though.
FWIW, I've been incarcerated, but I don't recommend it as a career path (though one can dig one's way out of that, with effort). I don't play the harmonica, though.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Out of curiosity, how do you stand out from others? What intellectual, social, and cultural interests do you have? What is your definition of a meaningful/successful career and life? Perhaps considering these questions might illuminate some career paths that didn't seem obvious at first, but nevertheless, they may be interesting to you.
Well, thanks for your thread, and I hope that you will find something that brings fulfillment and happiness to you.

Or in a punk folk band.
