Find out what you love to do for fun the get paid for yhat you wont have to work a day in your life if you do what you love you have yo find that out for yourself no one can help you find that part out.

My advice? Listen to the man, until the voice in your head screams louder. Everyone hates their job, if they say otherwise they're full of shit. People aren't meant to work there whole lives away, weve just been told it's work, or jail. I've debated several times of a career switch, but the longer you wait the harder it is to get outta. College is for nothing but a piece of paper claiming you know more than someone without. Everything is a giant pyramid designed to keep us low. Gots to find that ladder 🫂💜

Find what works, run, and never look back!

You're never too old to learn a trade.

You just have to accept that you'll be underpaid as an apprentice and get treated like a bitch for 5 years.

Honestly I'd recommend finding work in a nursery, raising plants.

You may not think it's for you but you'll realise how rewarding it is.

Especially a tree nursery, the work is really easy, the only heavy lifting is mixing bags of potting mix and soil

Mostly just watering plants, and if everyone is up on benches the weeding is really easy work because you're not bending over to do it.

Even if you got no interest, you will learn to love working with plants, getting your hands in the soil has serious benefits to your physical and mental health.

College, Trade School, or Certificate.

Suck it up for a while, build a nice cushion, start a business.

Figure out what your purpose in life is, lean into things that interest you.

Work at Walmart, tacobell, McDonald's, or other companies that offer College Tution grants.

Use Coursera.

I used to believe the woke college debt thing but if you're smart about it you can completely avoid both, and be debt free from a non-woke college.

Same boat.

Kinda just floating doordashing atm.

No actual skills.

No time for focused learning, to busy working or spending what time I can with my 4yr old...

He's only this young once...

Cars don't last forever putting 100+miles a day on em...

Been thinking about what I can make and sell on nostr....

Fiat land hasn't worked for me. Time to switch it up.

🫂💜

Humans want to work, none of us are actually lazy.

We've been manipulated to think we hate working, when really it's the kind of work that matters.

When you build things, or grow food, or do anything that has a real measurable benefit to society, it's rewarding.

Hey, it's totally valid to feel that way about traditional jobs! It's not necessarily selfish or lazy to want more from your work life than just making someone else rich. Lots of people feel the same way, especially when they're young and full of potential.

It sounds like you value autonomy and purpose, which is awesome. Maybe you could explore different types of work that align with your values. Have you thought about freelancing, starting your own business, or finding a job in a field you're passionate about, even if it's not super niche?

Experimenting with different things might help you discover what you truly enjoy. Don't be afraid to try new hobbies, take online courses, or volunteer in areas that interest you. You might stumble upon something that sparks your passion and leads you to a fulfilling career path.

And hey, college isn't the only way to gain skills and knowledge. There are tons of online resources, workshops, and apprenticeships that can help you develop valuable expertise without racking up debt.

Just keep exploring, stay open-minded, and trust that you'll find something that resonates with you. You've got this!

It's how I live my life. The only most valuable commodity, in finite, reducing supply is Time.

Everything goes to zero against it, even time itself.

Also, when you see how poor people really are, I'm talking abject poverty levels, you realise how far you can drop and still be 'alive'.

I literally quit good paying 9- 5 in corporate finance, because unlike my friends, I didn't want to loose all my hair by the age of 30 either.

You do you man, but just keep death at the forefront of your mind, it helps put everything you do in perspective. (Maybe that's just stoicism though)

Also, college isn't a waste of time. Sure you can go to hustler's university on YouTube, but real quality education extends past the textbooks.

If you can afford it, do it. Keep learning, keep improving the skillset.

Talk to rich people or businesses, find their pains, select a list that you could solve, from that, select another list you would be obsessively passionate about and then create the solution.

On a practical level, experimenting with skills gives you options and builds independence. On a spiritual level, humans are wired for connection and collaboration — because meaning does not come only from what you do, but from what you share with your community.

In life, you can either pursue your own idealized potential or embrace the potential that life places before you. Both paths require mistakes, setbacks, and the courage to rise again — and that journey is the ultimate test of faith.

Without confronting and overcoming our own fears and convictions, we can never experience life in its fullness. Fear of the unknown is not weakness — it is human. Yet it also stands as the gateway to growth, transformation, and fulfillment.

To take on the role of a traditional wife or husband is perhaps the greatest testament to your community — a declaration that you are ready to lead, to give fully, to set aside ego, and to remain humble in the face of such a vast Universe. Any man or woman who raises a child is not only an ambassador of humanity, but also a steward of life itself.

What is a traditional job?

I went to uni to get an architecture degree, halfway I realized I won't learn anything serious so I started to work full time in 3rd year. By the time I finished uni I was doing my own designs under my supervisors, got fully independent at 32.

But I am not doing just what my traditional(?) degree was supposed to prepare me for. I am an architect designing and also building buildings while also doing design, consultation worldwide.

I have a mission to design and build healthy and durable buildings with natural materials but it took me 12 years to get where I am today and still figuring out a lot of things on my own - because as I see the world is actually favoring traditional jobs anymore.

It’s not selfish to reject a system designed to drain you. It’s survival.

You're in an interesting place. I kinda wish I had slowed down and taken in the options more at your age rather than rushing into a job.

The world has so many more options nowadays, so many that never even existed when I was growing up so it was hard to dream beyon taking on the best day job you could get. There was no idea of 'escaping the 9-5 grind'.

I think for most people a job is still the best way to go. You can learn skills and build a side hustle that can generate extra income if you decide. I've met people who are very good at thier work and they just accumulate a lot of bitcoin with thier surplus funds.

Unless you have a really good business idea, this would seem to be a good way to go.

Fwiw

When you find what it is. You will know. Passion is not enough. I note in your bio you like exploring open source tech. Have you tried bitchat using bluetooth mesh.

All sorts of rules and regulations are flying towards shutting us down, from strangling BTC to KYC the internet.

Bitchat communities are going to be important .And this is possible WITHOUT the internet.

I've decided to do the same in my community . But because google and android are coming after the developers - for the last two weeks I've been studying various phones. I've shortlisted two - a pixel model with a graphene OS or a Linux ph that is yet to launch.

Creating this as a skillset , learning the steps involved and work towards creating a network means you've taken back your time to help someone exit the rat wheel.

Elon Musk said it best - Do something useful.
