Kind of scared...
Posted 09-10-2009 at 12:50 AM by SephirothX
Not really sure what to do with myself at the moment heh
...
For one I am not 100% sure what I want for my career, as of yet I don't nor ever really had a dream job. And I don't know of anyways I'm going to be able to get into college past loans, which in my opinion is a really stupid idea...
I don't have a credit card, I have never had a job, I have a girlfriend, and I don't even have my temps. I am not doing good at school again(ALREADY)...
Everytime I find myself and pick my feet up to try and catch up it feels that I just fall back into whatever the hell goes on in my head that tells me to be immature and stupid. I don't try to do this and I notice what I'm doing when I'm doing it, I just kinda lose self-control and go crazy/party or at least get wild if there's no party or anything to do(no drinks or drugs, I'm just weird).
I don't know where to go for a first job, and even if I get one, how will I keep up with everything? I already feel like I have no life when I have no time for myself...
And when I do have time for myself, I (no offense I love it here) waste my time on websites... Lose track of time and forget everything, and my brain starts turning into mush... Losing all self motivation.
Don't get me wrong, I'm an all around happy guy ^_^, but these things just ponder in my head and worry me from time to time...
All this and I'm 17...
Can anyone give advice/lecture/tips/something?
Preferably someone who is an adult or in the same position and not some little kid
(don't give insults, I take constructive criticism, but not insults, they piss me off)

well im the same age as you and i can tell you that your lazy and are extremely addicted to ac lol
anyway, find what your interested in and enroll yourself on to a college course that your interested not just for the sake of doing it, and to find a job all you need to do is find a place that interests you and drop your resume in once every 2 weeks lol and in a month or so you have an interview
and all you need is to keep yourself busy doing other things rather than sitting on a computer ^^ thats all the help i know and hopes this helps : 3Posted 09-10-2009 at 01:04 AM by rasen-shuriken

where do you live? Is there something you really like, or that you are good at? If you could do anything for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Going into debt for college is NOT dumb... no dumber than going into debt to buy a house.
as to the internet addiction, don't kid yourself... it can be as addicting as drugs, alcohol, gambling, porn, food, smoking... you name it. more than 80% of any addiction is psychological, and that's where you have to start to break it. We joke here about being "addicted" to AC, but when you don't eat, or sleep because of being here... when it becomes more important that real-life relationships, when you become moody if you can't be on the computer... those are warning signs that the computer rules you, not the other way around. It's very hard to break an addiction on your own, and there is NO shame at all in admitting that you might need help. The real shame is wasting your life on something that has no lasting value.
VM me if you want to talk, or msn:

I had the same problem looking for a direction to go to to continue studying.
I didn't know what I wanted to become.
So I did what I alwyas do when I don't know what to do. I check my chances and logicaly try to find out the best job.
I ended up going for Analytical Chemistry.
Why? It pays more than average, the times are variable, no time pressure and there's always an vacant job.
See how the good things keep piling up, it's because it was though out with logic. The one which got the most +points would be the one I'd pick.
I suggest you do that, if you think every job/education is shitty, pick the most logic one.
--------
As for finding a job, I suggest you do take an education since it just means that you'll have that many more places you can go to.
If you ever go apply somewhere, and they seem to be backing down, ask them if you cannot do a tryout for a week. You'll ask only half of the minimum wage (if any in the country that you live in) and work for a week to show how well you can do.
The trick to showing people how well you do is standing out, however that is way too much trouble.
So you'll have to make up by working hard.
Think of every job you have to do in this way. 'As long as I work hard and put my everything into this, the time will go by faster and i'll be doing fun stuff before I even realize it.'
It helped me through my school days.
I hope I was able to be of some help.

dont worry much about job, concentrate on school work
dont take too much classes if u cant take it or drop some class out if it too much for u, go research for a job with good payment and something that u like or can do then take the class concentrating on that area of job.
try scheduling and make time for urself to relax
study and do homework for 50min, take 10 to 15 min break then start doing 50min of study again or not if ur done with it.
it a good thing if u dont drink/drug or smoke, it may look cool or impressing to someone but u pay the price destroying ur own health for it, it better not to go for those things at all.Posted 09-10-2009 at 03:40 AM by Tan

-What the hell does this have to do with anything? I'm not an idiot.
"Think of every job you have to do in this way. 'As long as I work hard and put my everything into this, the time will go by faster and i'll be doing fun stuff before I even realize it.'"
-Its not that I'm bad at logic, but I don't like most jobs because they are too logical, I want a career in something I'll like/fun. lol
-I'm good at programming, though I don't care for it too much
-I want to be a psychologist, but I'm worried from the rep of psych's they are 2nd or 3rd most common to commit suicide and other problems themselves
-I'd like to become a teacher, but that just isn't good pay at all anymore.
-etc
@Kimmy... I know, and I had gotten away from my addiction for like 2 months, but as soon as I came back on I got addicted again.Posted 09-10-2009 at 08:06 AM by SephirothX
