The new me I guess

Hi GbaTemp, If your new too this site or new to me in general then hi my name is owenge (Error). So during the summer I tried to figure out what I'm going to do for the rest of my life and understanding others problems. So here's what I found/did this summer.

1. I got back together with my ex and we are now dating again. She is going though therapy (depression) and I'm supporting her the whole time).

2. God I have a lot of electronics I've collected over the years.

3. Being a adult and still being in high school (held back in third grade) puts you in a very confusing legal position :/

4. I need to start being more independent with choices but consider others

5. Money is a problem

6. College is like throwing money into a well and wishing for higher income

7. I would like to go into tech for a job

8. Best bet is going for a trade education

9. I'm really bad with photoshop but it's something I would love to get better at it

Thank you and Have a great day :toot:

@DeoNaught yep any trade makes a lot more money nowadays because everyone is pushing for the 4 year college path

You like photoshopping? Or are you using it as an art program? There are professional photoshoppers you know. Also, what kind of tech? You can always learn these things without going to college, just don't put yourself in a position that stresses you out too much, I mean you probably already know that...

Going for a trade makes more money to start with but you'll be capped in future. Plus you'll age faster having a more physical career (joints get worn out etc).

You should do what you enjoy. If you know anyone in university, ask them to send you the name of their textbook and their assignments etc and then you can get an idea of whether what they are studying is something that will interest you.

Whatever you do, make sure you're learning - doing an unskilled job full time with no prospects of advancing to a position you would enjoy holding (eg if you love admin and working with people then working at a supermarket as a checkout chick might be fine if all you want from life is to be a store manager) is the best way to fill your life with regrets. Whatever you do, make sure it is part of a path that moves towards something you want, not just filling time.
