I'm glad to see that thus far, NEWTS haven't been as difficult as our professors are fond of telling us. That's good; I wouldn't enjoy finishing my schooling with failure.

[Or maybe he's just too smart for his own good. In your face.]I've still yet to decide what I'll do after the school year ends and I've gone back to France -- that, a least, ( Read more... )

No one's forcing you to fit yourself into a box.

dofaye June 9 2011, 19:10:31 UTC

Society certainly is, if I want any sort of a normal life. Which I very much do.

mist_illusions June 10 2011, 02:45:58 UTC

That's incredibly dull, but exactly what I expected from you.

If there was anything wrong with wanting a solid career and a happy family, there wouldn't be so many people doing it.

You could always travel! Back pack, you know? No one looks bad on travelers!

Tell me if you guys don't want thread-jacking... In which case I'm sorry... magichairbrush June 9 2011, 06:46:38 UTC

Oh, that sounds really exciting!

it's fine! dofaye June 9 2011, 19:13:30 UTC

"Exciting" is one way of putting it, I suppose.

:) thanks magichairbrush June 9 2011, 19:16:37 UTC

Oh, you don't think so?

Planning ahead is silly, you're absolutely right.

dofaye June 9 2011, 19:11:02 UTC

I don't think we're talking about the same thing, though.

donttelldaddy June 9 2011, 19:15:06 UTC

Oh, of course we are. I don't know what I want to do tomorrow, much less a year from now. I wouldn't expect you to.

dofaye June 9 2011, 22:25:34 UTC

Yes, but in your case that means that you're likely to make dangerous choices. And have I ever been one to expose myself to danger?

Isn't there something you could do as a job that you'd really love to do anyway?

I really do like Cassie's advice, too, though. And I'm sure you would find something you love to do while traveling.

dofaye June 9 2011, 19:12:10 UTC

I'd like to think that everyone can find a job that he enjoys, but that's somewhat doubtful. Even though some of my interests could be careers, in theory, I can't just wave my wand and find one.

magichairbrush June 9 2011, 19:17:24 UTC

No, but I imagine it'd be worth putting the work in to find a job you really would enjoy... Don't you think so?

dofaye June 9 2011, 22:24:00 UTC

[...oh, now he just sounds lazy.]

Of course! The question is whether such jobs exist, which to pursue, and so on.
