As i eat my Raman noodles i ask

Can someone, i mean anyone, anybody, i don't care, just someone....Please tell me how it is that a 25 (almost 26) year old guy who is semi intelligent and halfway normal can have no, i mean NO, idea what to do with his life.

another way of putting it---why is the grass always greener......

i mean yea i could quit school but what i am supposed to do??

oh well---

  • Ok... I say this already knowing what I want to do with my life, (and I'm much younger than you.HA!!!) So as you say, "Take this as a grain of salt"... Or something like that.

    I still think that. I wonder all the time what if this is what I really want to do. Sometimes I feel like teaching and coaching isn't gonna fulfill my need for adventure (the "safari" kind, not the "I'm gonna kill that kid if he opens his mouth one more time" kind) But most of those times I hear God say, "hey dummie. wake up." I don't know what YOU should do j. Maybe you should drop out. But why waste the experience? Maybe you shouldn't. But why waste the time? Maybe you just think the grass is greener because you haven't looked at YOUR lawn in a while.

  • That's easy. Not too sound counselor like, but You don't know because you're still finding out about yourself. It's okay to not know what you want to do. In the U.S. the average person changes their career about five times in their lifetime. You, sir, have yet to start on career one. So stop worrying about what you're gonna do with you life and think about what you're gonna do after you quit career four and move on to five. Perhaps selling hotdogs on the side of the street or being an ice cream man, who knows...it could be anything, surprise yourself.

  • I say find a pond--maybe Walden--and spend five years there, then, at 30 (ha) almost 31, that man can once again ask the same question--but this time--he is relaxed ... or paint something ...

  • starving artist is always the way to go.

    that said, i think you should come home right away and model for my photography class. it's not a paying job, not even close to a career, but what the hey? it would be fun.

    also, i sent you a letter by post yesterday. let me know when you get it. (better yet, send me something back.)
    love you!
