What Are You Doing Right Now? (290 Viewers)

Dostoevsky · Apr 15, 2015

Oh... I actually had no idea you were a pilot. I thought those above were jokes and stuff like 'don't crash into my house mfuker'.

Well that sucks then.

What do you think when you say career? Are you planning to start studying something or just getting some job? It kinda sucks that most of the jobs do offer a chance for promotion but they also ask for a BA/MA degree.

Oh well there's some. There's a chance I might start working as a salesman in some IT shop in Belgrade. That's closest thing for me when it comes to landing a job and I wouldn't be surprised if it happens 'soon'. But I'm all prepared for disappointments too so I don't wanna rely too much on some words because I've been down on that road before. It's pretty tough, still is, but I believe I learned quite a lot even while doing nothing. Read a lot, learned a lot, talked to people and broke some boundaries of social anxiety. So I'm not gonna cry over it but I do hope things are gonna get better for me. It's a decent job at best and they'd even ignore my degree of economics but I can't really be picky. Gonna give my best there too and hope that I earn a promotion some day, or find something better in the meantime. I also had traumas how all the studying was in vain. But in the end.. it's a start eh? I guess it can't be that bad.

Hey, I'm earning 250 and it's part-time! Dusan would be happy with that.

That's fine, everyone has his own problem and flows with it. I should be happy that I'm healthy and have a roof above my head, unlike some, but that doesn't mean I should be happy (or you) if something in my life is screwed up. It's good that you're aware of it unlike majority who just root and stagnate imo.

It takes balls too to make a big change in life, like quit a job and look for something else. There's pretty much two things you can do; One it to stay there and keep looking for opportunities and second is to quit and try getting internships to boost experience in your field. Or pack your bags and leave a country if you're for a drastic change.

But try thinking about it more. Maybe leaving wouldn't make you happy at all. Quitting and ending up without anything, without plan, seems like the worst case. You'd have Dusan written all over you.

Almost everyone who has ever meant something in this world had no plan and was nothing at one point.

Oh, don't get me wrong. It doesn't mean you'd end up as a total disaster but more like a person frustration as it's hard to have too much time on your hands and no opportunity in sight, believe me.

But you're right. Some of the most successful people even tried to kill themselves when they were a nobody. It's just a path (no, I do not recommend a suicide as an escape

).

Yeah I'm planning to start studying something new while I work. Just have to figure out what. Not a degree though.

I hope you get that opportunity. Once you get a job and start meeting more people, even more opportunities could open up, especially since you're a good guy.

And trust me, I wish I went for a degree before my licence. It's standard shit now
