Serious question /adv/
I am 21 years of age and turn 22 this September, I've never been the academic type but have always been encouraged because I have potential (that's what professors and co say).
I recently dropped out of college and work weekends at a bookmakers. Saturday's it's 10:30am to 10pm and Sunday's 12:30pm to 10pm. I am considering taking a 9/5 job during the weekdays at a supermarket which would take my net income to minimum £1400.
I have always been the athletic type, played academy football until 19 and I'm really keen on wrestling at the moment. My question is this a move I should make and use my weekday evenings to pursue my dream?
I'm the kind of guy who doesn't regret the past because what has happened can not be changed.
Any help would be appreciated with my decision making.

If you do well in academia but don't enjoy it, you'll probably end up in a job you don't like or worse, hate. All else it could achieve it random people you probably won't give a shit about might think you're intelligent. As long as you can manage, try to follow your dream. So I'd definitely take the weekends.
Other than being a professional athlete what would you consider your dream job? Do you have an interest in business, computers, science, international affairs, medicine, etc?
What sort of things are you finding yourself looking up in your free time or discussing with others?

I like to write, I have many ideas for film and TV scripts. Writing a book is something I would like to dabble in, I have a passion for sci/fi medieval fantasy.
I don't really have a dream job apart from that, I was born and raised as an athlete.

What would you're option be on the working weekdays to. It's a 9/5 but leaves time for me to train.

Teachers always say that shit to the most pathetic kid in class.
Go chase your dream or you will regret it when you're old.
