Life, or something like it.

I'm a 23 year old college student with a full ride scholarship going for a double major.

B I G D E A L

I've come to realize today that even when i get the degree's i'm chasing, that still doesn't mean i'll be set for life. I wish i could've been born much before this day and age or in a family of grand royalty where my dreams were a credit card swipe away...

(don't we all)

i know the technology is kick ass but so much is expected of one person that at times it can be quite overwhelming. 

My dad had a well to do job before technology grew and took over the majority of almost all well to do jobs and now he's become one of those "outcasts" which are struggling to find a job. I feel bad for him because he's getting to old and just the other day he came to me asking, "Tawnya whats networking?" I know, my dad is old and for being a computer software project manager, you would think that he would be able to wrapped his head around the latest computer technology terms at least but he just can't get a grasp on it and i feel bad for him because he and i are realizing that though a degree will get you places, it may not always lead to the happy "American Dream" ending.

For this reason, I've become addicted to figuring out new things in which i'm good at besides my education because it seems to me that even if you kill it in school, you may just get the cut at work. 

Now i'm not planning on getting fired or let go from work but no body knows the future and sometimes these things just happen even if you are an incredible worker. So its time to figure out the hobbies you're good at, those ones that have the most potential to make you money when you find yourself in a rut. Maybe these things are flipping cars, mechanical work, writing, making art, jewelery, or interior design or maybe you have great wood making skills. Whatever your gift is, work on it and don't stop!

 Life is too short to be stressed out on money and unfortunately money is an essential part of living for everyone, aside from the 7%(ish) of people in the world who are Henry David Thoreau's or the last members of an ALMOST extinct tribe hidden deep within the rain forest.

I know, this idea kinda just sounds like an exhausting effort to find your inner self and talents but i'm afraid our generation is to that point where unless you're in with the high rollers, you're REALLY FAR OUT.

Its just insider tip, you can take it or leave it but its been working for me while i've been in college. I sell my dogs stud services, i'm learning how to flip cars and i sell art work on the side and its not making me enough money to buy a mansion or the car of my dreams or travel the world, but its what i got.

PS. I want to congratulate my dog Kobe today for losing his virginity! 

The poor guy needed it..
