I want to marry a rich, attractive, intelligent and kind wife that will allow me to stay at home all day, survive on her money, and make music instead of working.

What do you mean that probably won't happen. That sounds like a great idea; you should totally go for it.

Actually, I was thinking about managing a restaurant/hotel when I'm older. I'd like to set up shop next to a good hiking spot, and give out all-you-can-eat passes. I've always thought it would be a great idea to eat, then go for a walk to walk off the sludgy, fatty feeling, then maybe come back in for another bite or dessert. This would totally be in Canada, btw. I really don't know why, but it will.

Another thing. I want to become a rockstar lawyer engineer + education and disabled rights activist.
Couple of reasons:
1.  My town is small and the towns by me are not really into the health thing as much as other places (lol California).  I don't know if I'd want to move and if I did move to a place like Cali then it's like lol already done lots of these places.
2.  I don't have anyone to do it with.  The only friends I have that are into this are all online friends that I've met a couple of them once or twice but they all live in different states.
3.  I know nothing about this and I'm not going to school for being a chef or anything with business.
4.  I like to make food I probably would hate doing the behind the scenes stuff.

1. Ugh avoid moving to Cali, at least until the government resolves its financial problems. Otherwise, it's just too expensive to live here + own a business, in general. At any rate, perhaps you can hit the local colleges? Plenty of college people are right-minded enough to enjoy a good vegan meal, if the atmosphere is right and they can study or something. Your idea could also flourish in a big city, buuut that comes with a huge trade-off.
2. Meh, keep your eyes open. Maybe you'll find some cute chick who would totally dig working with you on this.
3. Hopefully aforementioned chick did culinary arts.
4. And hopefully she doesn't mind doing the paperwork.

and i dunno what the limitations on raw are (tofu burgers y/n?) but expanding just a little in that direction might pay off. here's what the one bac home does:

also consider the lunch truc/cart setup instead of a cafe. possibly the easiest solution bc you can run the business and coo at the same time. and you could possibly start with a lunch cart and wor your way into a permanent location if you wanted

There's this old hippie that comes into the store I work at and chats with our boss, sometimes. He says he was married to the Campbell's (sp?) soup heiress, but divorced her cause she wasn't the right woman. Could very well be a lie.  :fogetshrug:

but on a related note, I always wanted to be a patron for some of my friends if I get a solid career. There is so much wasted wealth in the US. just thinking how much money every family would have if everyone worked but the whole family lived together like in some other countries. so much wealth is wasted on the masturbatory concept of "i made it on my own" in the US.

I'm at uni and I'm mainly doing film studies and english, but as much as these subjects are pretty entertaining I know I'm not actually learning anything. It's free, for me, cos I'm in Scotland so I'm not losing anything but time, really. I would love to make a TV show or a movie, or contribute to one, but there's the usual that's not gonna happen and also it's really egotistical and uh, if that's the only reason I'm doing this then that is really boring and irritating of me. This is my second attempt at a degree though, I'm 21 now. That's old for this crap, right?

I think I would feel better if I found a job I could be proud of that a master of arts degree would help me get.

I'd like to be a god-like being.

But seriously, When I was a really young kid I figured I'd be an architect. Then, after I realized how into video games I was, a video game designer/programmer.

I just want to make/create things that are more than just something cool to look at, something functional (like a building) or something fun (Like a video game).

umm i am in my mid 20's getting my 2nd degree right now. There are like two people my age that I've met. Everyone is either wicked old 30-40 year olds realizing they don't want to be an office assistant for the rest of their lives and mostly young as hell spring chickens being away from mom&dad for the first time

yeah i know there are older people at uni but that's a different thing entirely. if i was 35 i don't think i'd really give much of a crap about HEY I'M A LITTLE LATE LET'S FACEBOOK, and actually that's not even what i'm worried about now, i just meant that i have been screwing around for a couple of years and i'm still not even 70% sure about what i'm doing. what i'm saying is i don't want to waste any more time and then panic at how much of my life i have wasted later.

and you're getting your second degree, this is my first. i didn't complete my first attempt. and you've got a specific purpose for going, and your course is one that leads directly to places.

Idk man I think it's actually a good thing to get your degree at an older age because I guess you have experienced LIFE a little more and not been stuck in that education shell your whole life. Like I think at that point you have a stronger sense of what you want to do with your life because you have actually been in the ditch long enough to make your own independent decision about bettering yourself. And I'm not saying this can only be done through school I'm just pretty sure there's a high percentage of people who go straight from highschool to uni or something and end up getting a degree and a job and end up hating because they never really stopped and asked themselves what they wanted besides the typical job with a steady paycheck so they can own a house and pay bills and be miserable until they start a family and have a goal to actually strive for.

I guess a better way to explain would be whenever somebody asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I told them I always got this kind of vibe that they felt this kid (me) hadn't been hit with with the cruel reality of what the world really hands out to you and while a lot of pictures are painted pretty nothing's ever as pretty as their picture makes you believe, if that makes sense. Like who gives a fuck about where you work it's going to suck and you are going to hate it and the grass is always greener blah blah blah. So I think it's pretty noble to go after something you hope and dream for but if you already think nothing is going to come from it why go do it? Unless you just want the knowledge and experience you get from it which is fine but I think this is something you really have to ask yourself because while I think most of us here are young enough to kind of put it off for another few years the future is going to just get bleaker the more you do. And I kind of direct this to anyone who is at any point in their lives whether you are working a shit job or going to uni for a 4 year degree or something, are you really thinking ahead here? The question every teenager hates is "where do you want to be in 10 years, 20 years?" People kind of blow it off and just think a few steps further then where they are at now, set themselves down a path and follow it to the best they can. Idk I guess what I'm trying to get at here is when plans fall through it really stinks and maybe you don't have a plan you are just kind of coasting and that stinks too. I think its essential to take a few days maybe even a few months to meditate on what you want your life to be because it's too short lived and while it's never too late to change the clock never stops and never goes backwards. I think if you want to be successful at anything you need to clear any doubts you have in your mind about what you want or what you are doing.

Whoops I kind of went on a rant here  :shrug: :words:

I am planning on at least 2 years of having real-life experience before going back to graduate school at the very least (doing who knows what? I  want to be an EMT for at least a year and do something like that full time, and then chances are that I'll be living overseas working with a volunteer program or something like that with my gf), and I think if I didn't do those things, I would get really burnt out in school, and would probably end up losing a lot of money otherwise.
