Alright. I know I have talked about such things with a few of you, but here I am. I am in basically the same place I have been for a while. But I feel an urgent call for change. I always promote drastic changes in other peoples lives, but find it is somewhat difficult to just completely skew my life path all over the grid. I think a lot of it has to do with my parents. They view things in the traditional fashion. I have always fel the urge to be crazy and go off into the great unknown. I feel right now it may be the only way to succeed.
Here is my current situation. I am between jobs right now. I have had a couple weeks off, and have a couple more left before my job starts. It's an alright job, pays the bills, but is only contract work and is limited in my growth potential, and is not in my career field of choice. Working this job will not really move me towards any of my goals but at a snails pace.
Seeing as I have yet to finish college, I don't have a degree. So I can really only market myself based on my experience. Which is Retail and Automotive Testing.
My options before me are:
#1 I have an application to the "New York Film Academy" that I am going to fill out and send in, with hopes of being acceptted. In which case, my parents will have to pay for the school. (which is $18k/yr) Being in NYC, I will hae to move somewhere there, thinking closer to Philly.
With this move, I will need to be able to find a job that I can make $25k/yr at to survive. Which could become a problem.
#2 I could delay school even longer and just move elsewhere. I am all about no caring about anything, but my car loan is guaranteed by my mother, so I can't just screw her over. I also have two land payments to make. These are the things that right now are inhibiting my growth.
#3 Just deal with my shit and take the responsibility and work whatever jobs I can find and stay here in the D until I manage to pay everything off and then try to follow through.
Not to mention I have tons of shit I need to get rid of then.
Thanks for listening to my rant, and any suggestions are appreciated.
