how do you know what you want to do in life if you're just guessing?

you can always do what my hubby did,find a hot gal with a decent income..
That's all good, but I need to be self sufficient for my ego. If I get a girl with a good income I'm naturally gonna compete to at least match what she brings in. I like to be an equal contributor so I don't feel like a mooch.
starting work really does help you figure out want you want to do... just get a job at a large corporation so there will be opportunity to move around once you figure it out... plus it looks good on the res. gotta get your foot in the door... esp now.
doing nothing is contagious.. i know!

Really dig fishing, have extra time & money to outfit yourself as a fresh water fishing guide? Not too much wave action and good money if you know the lake well enough to guide on it, that's where the extra time & money come in. You'll need time to fish and familiarize yourself on a good tourist destination type lake, that'll cost you money too. Buying the proper 19-20' fiberglass boat, full electronics, tackle, safety gear, gas every day, nice truck with your name/number & logo.......
never mind, just stay in college & leech off the folks while gettin' high bro.......

look at it this way
if you get a job now, all it can do is get you more money,
while all you are doing now is wasting money
just because you start a job doesnt mean youre committed to it for life,
and if you hate it, youll still have some fall back money to look for a new job
dont wait for life to fall in your lap - the only person looking out for you is you

Fuck selling to clubs, if you come out to cali i can find better places for that crop to go.
And co-sign on the DUI. I also have a DUI plus a suspended plus a few other misdemeanors, no way im getting a legit job.
The system fucked me so i say FUCK THE SYSTEM.

=) Agreed
i agree that work is the best thing to do for now and think about the internet! there are so many opportunities. my friend wrote a guide about some computer game and sold it as an ebook over the internet for like 5 bucks each and in a couple of month he had sold 500 copies, that's 2.5 grand.
i'm not saying do that just saying there are ways out there. look at what seems to be in demand and supply it. also doing an internet thing is pretty comfy cause you can chill at home and smoke all day.
only down-side is that you won't build up a resume...

Great thread here.
In about the same exact position Movingtocally. Just graduated with a degree in Pol. Science, pretty fucking useless, and no i don't want to be a politician... basically just a Bachelor of Arts degree. Don't really wanna teach either, although I guess it would be nice to have the summer off, get paid shit though. As far as my major, I am good at writing, and enjoy research/reading and stuff for the most part. Just need to find the right opportunity I guess, would love to get into some marijuana policy or public policy in general or writing for a magazine? (hint hint gypsy!) lol. but I find its hard to find the opportunity, or right place to start, get an 'in' etc.
I know many people that are engineers, and other useful things that have no job too. I have no job, living at home, just chillin with friends, trying to get some outdoor shit rollin. No office experience is probably the biggest thing preventing me from getting a real job.
Could get my masters, but whats the point.... all done with school for a bit anyways. I agree that you have to pursue something you like and/or are skilled in. But like you I don't really have many constructive hobbies besides growing weed and learning all the things its connected to, and reading about shit etc. I've always had summer manual labor jobs, which I've dealt with, but really just looking for something else. I dunno, hopefully will come up with something soon haha. Not getting a job time and time again is really depressing, kinda makes you second-guess yourself. My dad has started pushing me to the insurance business, but I dunno, he never seemed to enjoy his job very much, did make good money though. (low six figures).
Oh and one last thing, could always learn a trade and start your own business. Know someone thats an electrician, deals and stuff a bit on the side, owns his own business, seems to do pretty good. And trades are usually pretty useful in life as well.
Anyway, hope everything works out for ya, and anyone else finding themselves in a similar situation. Just tough it out and always keep an eye open for a good opportunity.

If I had it to do all over again I'd be a motorcycle cop.I'd be doing two of my favorite things riding a bike and ruining the day of someone that deserves it.
You're going to spend 1/3rd of your life working, 1/3rd sleeping and the other 1/3 divided between personal time and eating.
If your work is so bad that it affects your eating and sleeping, you have no life.
Find out what you LIKE to do and what you're GOOD at doing and focus on finding a career that can be built on that. Make sure you work on at least one extra personal skill each year as well, otherwise you risk becoming single minded and dull.
Good luck!

Don't mean to bash or start anything but..
Really man? Is that really what you learned through all your years on earth, That if you where to repeat it, you would wanna be a cop and ruin life's of people who "Deserve it" my god... dude
Back on topic
Unions and learning a trade are really good ideas, not only do they pay well and open tons of options, you learn a valuable life skill that could even benefit your grows =)
hahaha sparkjumper is just trying to get reactions out of people!
my dad wanted me to be a cop, i kinda of toyed with the idea as a joke, because "if you cant beat the system, might as well join it"
that phase quickly left my mind though, i would never want to be a cop, just having to work with a bunch of crew cut non pot smoking retards would ruin my life.
Plus they say you cant be a cop if you have done shrooms or other hallucinogens, which rules me out because i used to grow and do shrooms alot. shit i ate a few caps the other night!

Found a shit McJob, still toying moving to the bay area, still fucking clueless. Generally feeling pretty shitty. I just wish I had direction-something concrete I could quantify and say "this is what I want" to any meaningful degree.
Thought about nursing a lot. Philosophical it's a moral profession, and it's within reach for anybody-tons of private nursing schools out there. It's something I could probably do. But from what I gather, I'd have to quit smoking herb. They do on the stop drug testing at most facilities. I'd have to try and find a doctors office that didn't care, which might be impossible.
I dunno. Really, really thinking about the nursing thing. I could start the progrm right away.

You need a lot of overhead or connections to start growing seriously as a random dude from the midwest. 4-5 months rent in an incredibly expensive part of the country, 4-5 month living expenses, etc. Then pray to fuck all goes well and you get a crop without getting popped or bugs or some other disaster.

just cuz u dont have much math background doesnt mean you should avoid it.. that seriously limits your options. whoever said the bit about getting a shitty job is right on. i dropped out of the university of wyoming after 3 years and moved to cali to get my shit together. i was one of those 'im in college cuz high school is over' kids, dint know what i was doing. had seven different majors in three years, from mechanical engineering to botany to pre-pharmacy... now that im a cal resident in the brokest income bracket il get to go back to school waaaay cheaper than before. not only that but doing the grind thing since moving has made me gain a real ambition to further my education.
gotta getcha math on tho

i too say go work. get a job on your resume, shows you want to work. it will give you focus, too, as was said. take a shittier job in a field you like rather than a cushier one youre not wild about, so youre heading towards your preferred field ... then learn all you can. an education in a field or trade is the ticket in the door, but youve got to show you can produce. a couple years of grinding it out might make the goal clearer. you gotta get in the water to learn how to swim and watch out for the sharks
