it doesn't get any better anon. i just go to work at my shitty office job, come home and get drunk and stoned and play vidya, pay my bills every month. shit's enjoyable i guess. would be better if i was doing a more satisying job though or something i was passionate about.

I wonder how is it possible that I see plenty of rich kids between 18-25 driving new BMWs, porshes, audis, mercedes etc. All different, so many of them. I feel fucking sad and I want to end my life.

Plus with my state job at municipal police as a guard after a raise and promotion as one of the best guards altely I can;t even live on my own and rent a room. Gee gee life.

I suppose those guys were lucky and either

a) had rich parents
b) were in the right place at the right time
c)always knew what they wanted to do so could apply themselves 100% towards their goal

>my calling?

>>690794460
Well I thought the idea of the thread was to help OP, and maybe myself now I'm hi-jacking, find what we really like and can get skills in that we can then use to get a job we enjoy.

I already have hobbies and enjoy my life. It's just that my job is, well, just meh. It's just a job that I turn up and do to allow me to pay for all those other things.

I want to do something inspiring. I want to work somewhere that gives me job satisfaction. But I've never, ever known exactly what it is I want to do or what it is that would give me that satisfaction.

>>690795059
It seems for me (OP) that you are somehow similar with what you want to me. I would also like some challenges, hard work, I like to work actually! I would like to achieve something great, to be a part of something big. But hey... I am just no one now. I stop working on 100% from tommorow. Fuck this shit.

>>690795059
So your first job is to find out what "IT' is.
Grab your free time by the balls and try hunting something down that you want to do.

>>690795760
Yeah that's the attitude I need to get. The thing is where I work, a lot of my issues and struggles and workload are caused by either incompetent people, people who don't care, lazy people or shit systems or ways of working. Over the 6 years I have been there I have had more and more work piled on me, and I spend all my time working at 150% busting my ass off trying to solve issues which I have no power whatsoever to solve. I just care too much and it isn't in my nature to do a bad job. I'm having a really hard time letting go at the moment and suffering from a lot of stress and absolutely no job satisfaction because of it.

>>690796249
Exactly. I've been trying to find that out since school though really. After doing my A-levels and working for a couple of years, I decided to do a degree in music technology, as music is my passion. However, trying to find a job in that industry was impossible, and everywhere wanted previous experience. But without the job, I didn't have the experience. By that point I was 24 already and bills needed to be paid, I tripped through a few random admin jobs and ended up falling into the job I am in now. Which does play to my strenths of problem solving and technology, but doesn't drive me or fill me with passion. Apart from my passion for doing my best, but I would apply myself in that way whatever job I do, as I take a lot of pride in what I do.

From an early age my parents drummed it into me to go to university and use my mind rather than doing physical work. I came out of uni at 24 with loads of debt, no experience and a qualification I couldn't really use. Meanwhile guys I went to school with had gone through an apprenticeship, maybe started their own company, or at least had skills so they could do foreigners at evening and weekends and were raking it in and had already been moved out and paying a mortgage for several years.

The only other thing I can think is maybe going into programming, I'm pretty good with computers, used to program in basic as a kid and have an A level in computing, in which we used Pascal. But coding day in day out also just seems so dull.

If i had my time again I would probably come straight out of school and get an apprenticeship and get myself a trade. That way I would have the option of working for somebody, starting my own company, doing extra work on the side and also doing all my own work at home.

I'm still half tempted to save up for an intense crash course, quit my job and re-train as an electrician or something.

I feel like I understand you completely. I work as municipal police guard for over a year now. It's not a big time. However in that year I was promoted and got a raise while no one got it with people that were joining with me. Lately I had biggest reward because I actually work hard and I like to work. Everything I do I try to do best it is possible. I am very attached to fucking details. But it end now, because with my salary I can;t even rent my own flat or room and live by my own. For a year I saved 1k euro living with parentsd. Can you fucking imagine?

Yeah man, life sucks sometimes. It's times like this though I like to remember that as shitty as it seems, there are still people out there who don't have a roof over their head at all, or don't have food in their bellies, or die of some terrible disease because they don't have clean water etc. In the grand scheme of things, we don't have it so bad and should be grateful for what we do have, rather then depressed by focusing on what we don't have.

>>690798131
Yeah, one of the electricians at our place did it. He used to work for a pharmaceutical company who work on medicines and cancer cures and shit, but he said it was pretty uninspiring as he was basically just a data input guy, typing figures into spreadsheets all day. So he retrained in his late 30s and now says he is pretty happy with his life and glad he did it.

>>690798167
Maybe I would agree if I never saw rich people and wealth. But now, all I want is wealth, money. Fuck poor people. Yes, I am poor, fuck me. I am not mad when someone calls me a poor fucking cunt. I am poor. But I didn;t choose that. I do nto want that. Ohh fuck. I am drunk I guess. Time to sleep soon. Or time to cry.

Don't cry. Stop getting pissed and do something to better your situation and learn to be happy.not having a go at you mate, but you're only making things worse for yourself.

Money makes things easier in life, but it doesn't make everyone instantly happy.

>>690798453
Right on. Not everybody wears a shirt and tie.
Hands on trade work is VERY cool and eventually put me where I am.

>>690798916
Money is my happiness. Without money I can;t be happy. So to be happy I have to collect money, have money.

Anyh other protips?

>>690798980
What trade you in mate?

>>690798761
mos?

>>690799314

It's a symptom of your situation mate, nothing more. When you've not got a lot you feel that when you do, you're happier. Obviously to some extent thats true. Breadline poverty is terrible.

Had nothing myself for a while. Was depressed. Drinking was beyond social, even for the UK. Had to get a better job, be around people who were better for me to get beyond this.

Not having a go at you mate, but please. Consider giving up the booze and anything else like that for 3 months. One day at a time.

Nice. Into the hardware hacker scene? Make your own stuff?

When I think of myself I know I can improve but I'm never certain if my current situation is really that -bad-, or if it's healthy and normal at this point in my life still.

>18, graduated high school & took a year off to figure stuff out
>turn 19
>started working with children and its fucking magical and great
>turning 20 in October, still haven't gone back to school
>plan on starting at community soon, before 20 hopefully
>want to be an art teacher for elementary students

Am I falling behind? Is it technically still okay/normal/healthy to be where I am? I was totally against the idea of jumping into college immediately, so I am glad I took some time off, but I'm not sure if I'm starting to let myself slip. I do want to go back but neither of my parents went to college so I have no fucking clue what I'm doing.

You seem like you have nothing to lose. So go do something incredible. Make yourself famous. Be remembered. Try a jewel heist? I mean, if it works, pay day, if it doesn't prison time, which will be exciting. Then you come out as someone who tried a jewel heist and write a book. Get paid. Win win. Or death by cop, but nothing to lose remember.

>same situation, at least until last year
well maybe this is going a bit heavy, but to start make yourself a simple question.
what is my own meaning of be alive?
- get rich?
- have a wife and childs?
- get a car?
- get a new phone?
may be you say all this things are shit, may be not, i mean ... look for you own meaning of life. search for you happiness. maybe this at this point is a bit dificult, cause you are full of sad and boredom, but you can start with something simple
what thing you like to do?.
maybe somethig weird, may be not, im not here to judge you, and start to do it (pls dont rape and kill ppl) waste your time and money in that ... (that is for your heart).
then when you feel beter, start a course of anything what you want to do, may be you want learn dance ballete and your dad say what this is for girls and you never realise yourself (this is just an example), look what you want and do it. (that is for your mind).
next. you need learn something usefull for others, jewelery, blacksmithing, mechanic, floral arrangement, anything, something what you like to do and learn. (that is for your body).

and finaly find a partner, a real road partner, the last one friend, you real couple, maybe in the time what you take to do all another things you find a lot of people, maybe amazing people and anothers not amazing, well the world is full of weird things. this last task is the most hard to do, cause maybe take all you life find the one, but that not reason to be alone. (that is for you sex)

just be happy, don't hurt anothers, don't lie, stop to be afraid (father, mother, society, friends.) look for yourself, think for yourself. well whatever.

> maybe OP don't read this, maybe he is kill himself already, but whatever, i write this for me for healing myself i hope this help someone

>what is my own meaning of be alive?

I don't know. :( This is where I fall down, right at the first hurdle. I don't care about marriage or kids. I don't want either. I find I ma the best version of myself when I am single and not in a relationship.

I don't care about money. Although it can afford you choices, and choices in life bring you happiness, I have enough money to own a house, pay my bills, buy food and have a drink and smoke at weekend. And that is enough money for me.

I don't give a shit about fancy cars. In fact if I didn't need a car to get to work I probably wouldn't have one at all.

I don't care about the latest phone. I had my last phone for 5 years and only upgraded it because it broke. Even then I bought a second hand phone that was already 2 generations behind.

I'm just apathetic about absolutely everything. And I feel like life made me this way. Every step along the way, people, humanity, life has just pissed me off and let me down and led to me being more and more of a hermit.

Not OP btw, I'm the other fucker who is hijacking the thread.
