[QUOTE="Alx_Casket:1336703"]I started working odd jobs when I was 8 and haven't stopped for more than a few months in between jobs since. I get bored if I sit around for too long and have a tough time making it through a movie. When my friends were out competing over fast food/retail jobs in high school, I was wiping old people's assholes in a nursing home and making $12/hr. I realized that healthcare was a rewarding field with a fairly stable pathway and that's how I chose the field to work in. Worked my way through high school, college, and grad school and I'm very grateful for all the opportunities that I damn-well earned. If I had been encouraged to pursue my interests in engineering/design, I would probably be building robots now. If money grew on trees, I'd be draining my creativity every day. Unfortunately, there's no safe future in music or art, so I didn't buy an education in one of those fields. Between work and music/personal life, I feel like I lead separate existences. It keeps life interesting and balanced. I think a lot of people (not just the "kids these days") aim to lead a single existence that's satisfying and fulfilling to them, and it's becoming exceedingly harder to find that anymore. There was some talk earlier in this thread about being thankful that we have it better than some 3rd world country inhabitant, and while I agree with that in general, one should expect a higher quality of life living in a developed country. The dream of growing up to be whatever you want to be is pretty weak right now, and that's ok. There are no more applications to be astronauts in NASA these days.[/QUOTE]
