    no offense, but that's the worst advice that i hear all the damn time. nobody is willing to pay anyone to do enjoyable things; that's why people get paid to do jobs instead of just volunteering.

    1 I love being home more than anything

    2 I like fishing

    My list, I'm home 7 months out of the year and go commercial fishing 5 months
    it worked for me.

    You also have to be a little realistic

    my list changes constantly because everything bores me after doing it several times. but the top of the list would consist of staying home, playing video games, having sex, getting drunk, doing drugs, taking walks, driving around back roads, reading, eating, sleeping.

    from that list, the only realistic jobs i can think of would be sheriff, which sounds awful overall, and editor, which just seems like it would get boring fast.

    I wanted to be a comedian since I fell out my mom's vagina...But I know that that would fail, so I thought I would be a writer, but then wanted to be an art teacher (which I still want to be and am looking into) and then there was this time I watched animal planet and there were animal cops on there and wanted to be one of those...

    Undies you would be Barney Fife...

    Down and out bullshit!

    There are a lot of people that get paid to do things that they enjoy doing. For a number of years I was paid for flying airplanes. Now I'm paid for being a trophy husband.

    Don't sweat it. You're too young to make any permanent decisions...and you can always change your mind.

    yes, i exaggerate. about 10 percent of the workforce is crazy and actually likes doing unpleasant crap every day of their lives.

    most likely. of course if i was waiting around for a fictional job that i actually like i would still end up doing something i hate even more than if i'm realistic and just look for something i can put up with.

    Band? WHOA WAIT. Stop... Listen here... you have musical talent? If I could go back in time and live my life over again right out of high school. I would do my very best to be the best drummer I could be. Learn as many contemporary styles as possible learn music theory and notation and all that fun stuff. Which I did back then... But coming out of high school I had no idea of opportunities that were out there for formally trained high school musicians... the main one being the hospitality industry ;) ;) If I was to do it all over again I would take that amazing music foundation from high school and get a gig playing in the house band aboard a cruise ship. Hands down no questions asked DO PASS, DO GO COLLECT 200$ :) I grew up in a hole with crap for guidance cousellors... I should have married that adventurous side of me to a career back in high school but my guidance cousellors had no idea how to match a career to a guy who wanted to live out of suitcase. They all suggested THE ARMY.

    Yikes!!! from artist to soldier. What a world we live in huh?

    lol. I can't play an instrument, I suck at drums and I can't play guitar or bass. All i can do is sing and i can barely pass with that, lol. My buddies all want me to be the singer of our "band" that has yet to have a practice.
