okay, so first off i really am impressed with everyone's responses, and keeping to the theme of the thread without to much bullshit, and also speaking on your own individual situations. so props to all for that...
to answer a few questions / statements yall made though:
-selling drugs is retard. not going there.
-going back to college... i only have a 1 1/2 more before i'd graduate. That being said, i don't have the money to go back, the time, and on top of that, it's not like i could knock out basics until i figure out what i want to do, ive already done that, the remaining classes i need are the ones id wind up majoring in, which is hard to go back to school to do when you don't know what you want to do... so im stuck there...
on top of that, schools really not my thing, i never really liked going, and im definately not going back unless i felt i could actually go back and finish, which i dont. plus all my mentors, the gates, the michael dell's, everyone who went to school and dropped out... that's their story, everyone has a good story it seems when it comes to this shit.... "i lived outta my car and bla bla bla, then such and such happened...". corny, maybe, but still...
again, i dont know what i want to do, but ive always been attracted to starting a new business, or being apart of some new start up company thats on some breaking edge shit, i just want to work with other creative people who are passionate about their work as well,
another thing thats frusterating to me, is my dad, he's been a stock broker like 26 years or some shit, and everyone knows that industry is fucked, because of the world problems and economy, the internet and online trading, its hard as fuck to make a living anymore doing that.
yet my dads got that old fashioned shit going on, work a job and ride it out until the wheels fall off, when instead he could go find another sales job (he's great with selling shit and working with people) but he doesnt have the guts to go off course and try to make it happen.
and that shit bugs the fuck out of me.
and on top of all this shit, there's so much money out there in the world to be made, you just have to think outside the box...
