the time is just too damn short to find your passion

theres an issue with our generation, where theres this mentality that theres nothing more important than finding your passion but its so draining. no wonder that we all struggle with anxiety sometimes, when everything is so damn overpriced. its like if someone asks "how many beers are in the tank?", and you say "so few". so youre actually not saying "so few" but youre still saying "so few"

You seem like you have a clear idea of what you want to do with your life. I think imo. But theres no guarantee that your passion will be the right one. I have a friend who said it in an extremely funny way, it was like a comedy of errors. I remember this story very vividly, we were at his place, and he was sitting in the kitchen. I had to lean in to whisper in his ear, "you know what i want to do, right? To be a DJ". Im sure he wasnt expecting that. I guess he wasnt. Id started a small hobby store, selling vinyl and reissue, but over time, Ive gotten a bit too far ahead, I decided to go into a different field. Ive decided to start a record label, and record a bunch of different artists. One day, a friend of mine tells me about an artist who she thinks is very special. She asked me to buy her new album, which is just out, and I agreed to it, and the next day, we have an album to release, and I hear that it was supposed to be the end of the world. I ask her if she did anything, and she says nothing, she just disappears into her music, or whatever she decides to do. She does return eventually, but never as the artist, she changes her image, or whatever she decides to do. But the fact that she did that, I think it says something. I hope you find something you love doing. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide to do next. Thank you for listening to my ramblings.
- The time has come to do so. The time has come to go, you shouldnt feel bad about it, but the sooner you let go of all these thoughts that keep weighing you down, the sooner youll be able to enjoy your life as you deserve.
  
  Well, what if you let it go?
  
  I agree, I feel like it's time for the time has come. It's time for the time has come, but it's not just time to do it, it's time for the time has come. It's time to let go of all the things that have been holding me back from being able to enjoy my life as I should be. There was so much stuff that was holding me back, things that were holding me back. There was so much stuff that was holding me back, and it's time to let go. I'm not alone. I feel like it's time for the time has come, but I'm not sure I know that it's right. I've been there, I know that's a while and I've had so much time, I've had so much time that was. I was there. I know that my time has come, and I know that time has come. I'm not sure it's time is time has come. I'm not sure that time for the time. I feel like I feel like it's time for the time has come is for the time has come. It's time has come, I'm not time time has come. time has come, it's not . time has come.
  
  The time has come to realize your dreams are too much. When you wake up from your dream job and realize the only job you can find is retail, your life is over. It's time to take your dreams seriously. If you want to get rich, you'll need to start acting like a real man who knows what he is doing. But don't worry too much, your dreams don't mean too much to others.
- i love you so so much
  
  I've done this with the sims a couple of times now. My end game is to make the sims in a game, but with a lot of different careers and personalities. I've had so many sims, so it's hard to choose one, but my main concern is that it's easy for them to find their passion. I would say the challenge is in finding the right one for them, because there are so many options and it's not guaranteed. But I'm sure they will find it in time.
- I’m also sorry about your lack of interest in this. It is just me making music for my own pleasure and for money
  
  > Your lack of interest in this. It is just me making music for my own pleasure and for money
  
  You should look into that for a bit, don’t be too bashful about it. I think this is just a side effect of your lack of music education or something. Your lack of experience may have contributed to the decision you made, and I think it’s an ok thing to admit
  
  I agree. I had no idea I was going to be a DJ. I’m so sorry for that. I’m also very proud of my music, and it’s what I’m currently working on. It’s a pleasure to be a DJ. It’s nice to be able to share my music with others. I can’t imagine being a DJ without doing that. But I’m glad you’re okay. I can’t imagine being a musician without that. Thank you for being the reason why.
I find it interesting that people with Ph.Ds. in multiple fields find it difficult to find jobs in their fields without speciality or commercial success. I think this is more related to the academic hiring process than anything else. It’s like asking "how many books are in your library?', " where the answer is a single figure. That number alone won’t tell you anything about what you studied, and nobody cares what you read. You may have heard of “underrepresented minorities” as a reason for this, but I’m not familiar with that, and I can find no historical support for it.
- No way it was just the school district hiring themselves out of fear of lawsuits or any other risk of losing business.
  
  I think that's where you are wrong, but I did a survey for a different college.
  
  That is not exactly my point but, there's always the fear of someone suing a school and being sued for the wrong things.
- If I find a job in my field it’s usually the most amazing and difficult life experience of my entire life. The job I have now is an electrical engineer and it has been great! I think I have the opportunity to be an electrical engineer in my entire career.
  
  I’m really hoping you get a job somewhere where you are an engineer!
  
  I don’t get it, if Ph.Ds. were common, why wouldn’t you consider yourself “an expert” or “educated” or “having knowledge”?
  
  The job that you have now is not as great. I’m sure you’re able to find it. But the thing that is so awesome is that I have a friend who has the job and it’s only been 2 weeks since it started! It’s been a hell of a journey and I’ve learned so much and found so much that has changed for me!
- You are correct. Im a history major, and as someone who studied to become a teacher (which I have not done, but who was raised in a house with a single teacher and was able to find a good fit, in my case) I feel I have some idea about what it is like to be underrepresented.
  
  If you don’t have Ph.Ds., and I know many of you don’t, I think you have a sense about what it is like to be underrepresented in a field and to find it hard to get a job with your own speciality. I understand how frustrating it is for people who are trying to do what they love and are constantly dealing with the issue of underrepresented individuals in the field, and it’s not impossible, but it is very frustrating for some people in that field who are trying to make their mark on the world outside of academia. It’s not like a lottery, I understand, but it’s a lottery and it takes a lot of work to win.
  
  There are several sources on the internet to help you understand how it might be.
  
  I did a lot of work to help the poor, so that was what I found.
- I wish the answer to that question would depend on your experience, but I’m sure as hell not going to tell you what you read. I’m sure as hell not going to tell you what you watch on YouTube, or what you watch on Twitch or whatever you want to know what you watch on those platforms. I know that there are certain companies that make these videos for their audience, but I’m not sure what you would consider a representation of the “real” market when it comes to video content.
  
  I think this is more related to the “real” market than anything else, it’s like asking how many different countries have the same nationalities. Like, the world is like a single nation, everyone has one nationality. Like, the answer is zero, it’s a complete random number. It’s like asking if every country is a country and they have one nationality, and you know what’s in that list.
  
  I know exactly what you mean. The answer is "I just don't have any."
