Careers and a path you should love.

^ Thanks for the well written post.

Your paragraph on accounting is exactly the reason why I went into accounting then got short sited and FORGOT all about it.

Thanks.

I want to open my business, but then i got cuaght up in the mindset of the lawyer group and wanted to make the salary.

To me.. being old and filthy rich is something I can only dream. You don't know anything about me, (not saying this as an attack) but my life is on a fast track through natural and self caused destruction.

I can never be old and filthy rich because of the decisions i've made. I can say i probably wont live past 50.

which is why you sense impatience in my post... No one can tell you when they will die, but im IN MY EARLY EARLY 20s and have had my heart stop beating already once....and at any time it can happen again.

I'm just tryin got make as much as fast as i can to enjoy my life to the fullest extent...and then to leave the rest with my family.

thanks kong, we got off on the wrong foot. I know i sounded like a kid who was talking out of his ass and someone with NOT GOOD intentions.. but that's not ALL true...

i'm really good at growing dank... i've made some money off of it and I can easy make more.

but that isn't a skill society has deemed acceptable. so i search and i search and i really like nothing?

What is a man to do when he likes nothing? i DONT like the herbology/ horticulture (so please don't tell me to go into that)

its true, im near the end of my accounting studies. i got 1.5 years of undergrad and a year of masters left (or law degree). so 2.5 years (or 4.5). then the CPA so 3 years.

should I go into law befcause I don't like accounting and find it "kinda" interesting? or do you se me as the type to finish my cpa (i finish what i start generally) and just go into the industry and make some money?

I'm torn at this point and im going to have to start taking those standardized tests within the next 5-8 months.
 
First off have you taken many law classes? Taking a few upper level law classes as electives might give you insight into your decision.

Make friends with some older folks who can describe different careers to you. If you go to grad school, either way, you're going to end up with many options. Those options will be different depending on which path you choose. I'd try to figure out careers I'd enjoy and then work backwards to figure out what to do in school.

If you haven't already buy the princeton review book for the gmat or lsat.
 
My program does NOT allow for many electives, I am a political science minor however. I don't like law like i don't like accounting... So im not sure what to do LOL. I can soldier through it...

but like i said, its the same with every single subject. Simply doesn't interest me.

^ i havn't started GMAT prep, but i have the powerscore bibles for the LSAT

I plan on getting the princeton review, and have read that kaplan is crap so fuck that.... but yeah...

i guess i have alot to figure out what i want......Just a hot chick for now would be fine... (gotta wait for the weekend, wish ya'll could see this girl... mmmm mexican/italian/german i LOVE mixes)
 
If you wanna get filthy rich, quit drugs and focus on your career. If you think money = happiness, and aren't hearing some of the good advice posted earlier; then, you are gonna learn it the hard way.

You wanna get to Princeton? I reaaaally doubt you'll get in while being a benzo addict/pot head/emotional mess.

You already said you almost died, I'm guessing your heart stopping came from an OD and I'm connoting this from you saying that your "life is on a fast track through natural and self caused destruction." I might be wrong, correct me if I am.

Bottom line, take a drug break for a while, then see what it is that you wanna do with your life.
 
I don't wnat to get into princeton, the princeton review is a company that makes study books for the LSAT, ACT, GMAT, MCAT shit like that.

You really doubt I can be successful while being a benzo pot head? What about being a dope head? what the fuck does it have to do with anything what my DOC is? I may be an emotional mess but its cool I party hard ....and still can do work, i don't slack when im fucked up. Well kinda LOL who doesn't.

Yeah I have thought about quitting the drugs for the cash... get the cash first then enjoy the drugs... but meh... We'll see about that..

i don't think money equals happiness for most people.. but for my particular person? possibly. I know there are other things besides money that make up the happiness. Friends family whatever. you know

I really want to take your advise djzmo.... it's just... when i quit doing benzos and smoking buds. I will relapse into dope again... .I know i twill happen.. I know im switching addictions... But im not truly barred out all the time... I'm smoking weed all the time... ALL the itme i take xanax on the weekends... if i take it during the week... EXAMS and projects tend to SNEAK Up on me...... sneaky xanax
 
You know you can't have all the pieces of the cake, right? Choose whatever makes you happy, but choose, you shouldn't think that you are gonna get away with a million dollars while you are a drug addict. Is it the money you want? or the drugs? I'll tell you right away both won't go well together, it's easy to spend money, but it's not easy to make it.

Decide now, drugs or money, because time is a fallacy and you only have a now.
 
It is hard enough deciding what you want to do with your life as far as a career. The way the economy is right now has made it damn near impossible to decide what would be a good direction and what companies need as far as "positions" go.
