Is that a strong time consuming hobby?

All the stuff I said about it being rewarding is true, but it's at the detriment of relationships, health, sanity, etc. That's why I left for a smaller firm with little to no travel.

My watch face says "There is no shortcut. There is no hack. There's only way, so get after it." I guess that's a mental cue. Put simply, just do it. Just get it done. No one likes studying or grinding through work they hate, but you have to get it done. Stop thinking about it and just do it.

Can't say what would be a better job for you, I just don't know all that much about you. I think you should focus on general studies for as long as you can and making good life choices. Even then, you can change direction almost at any point.


The first. Crappy wording.
Ah right. I'll answer forever lol, finding your responses interesting and super helpful.
Makes sense, you'd pretty much be a robot, not to mention that it would mentally kill you.

Great mental cue! That may come in handy, for the most part, it just seems like a drag! But I guess it would be worthwhile.

Fair enough, yeah, I'm probably just going to study a **** ton. In all honesty, when you turned 16, what did you want to do later on? Like, the person you are now, is that what you expected yourself to be at right now when you were 16? Do you also manage to gym in the day?

Thanks!!

The people that come here for short term jobs get a per diem ($500-$700 a week). That's to pay for food and a motel room for a week. Instead of living out of a motel room, the guys can live out of my furnished houses where they can cook, do laundry, have their own room, cable/wifi, all bills paid, etc. Plus it'll cost less than to live out of a motel.

A motel room with 2 beds is $400/week. I charge $600/week for a 3 bedroom house.

I'm 33 now and I've done uh, 7 different things? I know I keep saying it but no one really knows what they want to do at 16 and if they do, they're probably going to ruin their teenage years with an unnatural drive and zero social skills. When I was 16 I figured at this very moment I'd be sewing my pointe shoes and getting ready for an evening performance. I went all in with what I thought I wanted to do and it almost ruined my life. Funny enough, I had dinner last night with a friend who did in fact become a professional dancer and made her way through the ranks. She's 34 with a hip replacement scheduled after Nutcracker season and is wondering how she'll afford the rent on her studio apartment. Needless to say, I picked up the check at the Restaurant for People with Eating Disorders. What I thought I wanted at 16 couldn't be any more different than what my life is right now and it is glorious.

Think I mentioned it earlier in the thread but I had no idea that what I do now was even a career option. Life is weird, life is strange.

I have a home gym and yes, I typically work out during the day, either during a lull or before work.
Train hard, train smart, have fun!

What about your job do you "love"? I honestly wouldn't mind becoming an account. How far did your maths academics go? Seems like a pretty good area to grow into.

Lol, I got a Ps Vita in 2012!! I broke it though, I broke the charging port. Pretty tricky to repair, been broke for 4 years. You need a soldering iron and ****, not to mention that you could **** it up and wipe your files/games. Not to mention that people don't repair that part of the ps vita locally anymore. (They didn't even in 2014 lol).

No need to amercanise. I live in the uk too haha. That must be a funny job. You must encounter some pretty mad people lol. Any fun stories to share?

It's pretty good money, but it's not steady money. I can go a month or two and bring in over $10,000 a week. My renters finish their job and they go home. The $10,000 a week turns into $1000 a week. $1000 a week can last a week, a month, or up to 6 months. Then it goes to $5000-$10,000 a week for an unknown time frame.

But here's a good rule of thumb: When there is chaos, there is cash. When things are going smoothly at the refinery, I'm not making money. When something breaks down, it can take 6 to 36 guys a week to several months to fix.

Oh ok. By the way, the reason why I take ages to respond isn't because I'm lazy, (well...lol) I just try my best to research what you tell me first, as I find it interesting. There's no point in scanning through in 20 seconds and not taking in jack **** lol.

Makes sense. Lol, professional danced her way to the hospital. "Needless to say, I picked up the check at the Restaurant for People with Eating Disorders", what does that mean?

Ah okay, I get what u mean.

Also, let's just say that everything goes to plan, I complete my studies and get a good job. How will I be rewarded? (Not rewarded being, "oh, you are rewarded with a happy life, nice car, nice house, nice ****, nice family, you won't be homeless"). For whatever reason, saying **** like that doesn't really make me want to study a ridiculous amount if the end result is just a mundane predictable lame ass ****ing lifestyle. (Not lame ofcourse, but it's more like, billions have people have come and gone doing that ****, and it doesn't seem like anything insane to do for whatever reason) Like, it doesn't phase me one bit, because I feel as if from ages 3-12 were a dream. Everything was paid for, play all day, Christmas and birthdays to restock, play more!! Now it seems kind of **** to do that, except work a **** ton for years for it LOL. Ofcourse then you can say "make your life fun by enjoying yourself and doing the things you love doing most". I just need some dead plain motivation to actually study during college, because unfortunately, at the moment. I attend all my classes and ****, but I haven't studied for 1 second and I've been at college for 3 months now. There's just no strive or push to really get going and study. I'm not depressed lol, I'm far from that, I feel as if I've overthought these things as oppose to doing them, now I just don't see the point. What do you think?

Thanks by the way, you've been so ****ing helpful.
