I realized I wanna be like someone who works in a warehouse and like gets items for online orders(If thats a job) or be like a stocker who constantly has to stock things or like flipping houses i think that would be so much fun to make a house from trashy to clean and nice. I dunno i think it would be fun, but I would want something that probably paid better since i know it probably doesn't pay too well. I mean i'll probably go through 4 years of college, but i mean its got me thinking. Anyone else ever think like i do?

Replies EmilyAnn Posted at 6:52 pm on Sep. 22, 2008 Strangely, I was totally in your same situation less than a year ago. I'm currently in college, but I thought it was a waste of time. I thought that I could just have a job without a college education for the rest of my life. After all, not everyone goes to college and not all jobs require college degrees! I was set on doing something simple, like being a secretary or a small manager somewhere and being content. Now, I'm not saying this isn't right for you. However, you should give college a change. Once I found out what I wanted to do, my entire life changed. I went from feeling hopeless about college and viewing it as a waste of time to seeing it as a beautiful opportunity to learn, grow, and make the best of myself. My suggestion to you: visit a career counselor at your college. They all have them! Set up an appointment (it's worth the small effort, I promise) and they will do wonders for you. You'd be surprised at what a little bit of direction could do for your entire perspective on life. Just promise me you'll do that. Give it a shot, at least. :) Sins and Demons Posted at 7:37 am on Sep. 9, 2008 If you really do not know if you wanna go, find a community college, i know the one by me is  only $3,000 a year. It is a lot cheaper and is only 2 years. if you decide college is not for you its not as big of a hit to your pocket and if it is for you theres always the option of continuing. whips handcuffs Posted at 9:38 pm on Sep. 8, 2008 Quote: from KRNsoccerplayer24 at 1:08 am on Sep. 8, 2008 Quote: from whips handcuffs at 1:03 am on Sep. 8, 2008 Quote: from KRNsoccerplayer24 at 12:57 am on Sep. 8, 2008 Quote: from whips handcuffs at 12:41 am on Sep. 8, 2008 flipping houses is difficult. it isn't a lot of fun, it's more stress.   I would just want to do the cleaning..like clean the outside of the house, make the lawn nice and crap, and like put new carpet in and crap like that not build stuff but i would have someone help me do that part of it.    there's a lot more to it than that. you need money and professionals. I wouldn't doubt it, but i dunno i think it would be a fun experience. you can lose a lot of money that way.. my grandpa used to flip houses, and he was really good at it, but he had the money to put into it and he had years of business school too KRNsoccerplayer24 Posted at 1:08 am on Sep. 8, 2008 Quote: from whips handcuffs at 1:03 am on Sep. 8, 2008 Quote: from KRNsoccerplayer24 at 12:57 am on Sep. 8, 2008 Quote: from whips handcuffs at 12:41 am on Sep. 8, 2008 flipping houses is difficult. it isn't a lot of fun, it's more stress.    I would just want to do the cleaning..like clean the outside of the house, make the lawn nice and crap, and like put new carpet in and crap like that not build stuff but i would have someone help me do that part of it. there's a lot more to it than that. you need money and professionals.

But i chose business just cause i'm not 100% sure what i wanna be and i though business is a pretty general major in my opinion. whips handcuffs Posted at 12:41 am on Sep. 8, 2008 flipping houses is difficult. it isn't a lot of fun, it's more stress. matto Posted at 12:38 am on Sep. 8, 2008 you should major in business or some shit and start a construction company or some shit or maybe not business.  can you major in construction?  engineering of some sort?  maybe architect?
