At 22, did you feel like a lost cause?

[unluckysob]

wish i could turn back the clock to 22 years old. i would start with the cloths on my back---im 61.

[pat venditto]

what else would you change unlukysob?

[Red_Sux]

cheer up. when you're down, just think about third world country. it could be much worse. as long as you do something you like, you'll be happy. money means nothing if you don't have the time to enjoy it. you're pretty young, stop worring, and go bang some barely legal girls.

[bettilimbroke999]

Dude, you just said you were making 13 dollars an hour easy money, 40 hours a week and were a shoo in to be promoted to manager, at 22 with no college degree that's a dream job, why the fuk quit that? This bullshit about if you love your job you'll never work a day in your life is horseshit, who loves to work? I mean really what psycho goes into their job and enjoys it, I've never once heard of someone outside of maybe astronauts that are happy to get up everyday and go to work. Keep dreaming usc, if you blow another opportunity like that you'll be beggin for nickels the rest of your life while driving your parents crazy sponging off them and everyone who knows you won't think you "kept your purity" theyll say there's that fukin lazy worthless bum.

[robmpink]

Look for another opportunity like you had. become a customer service rep for an inbound call center (healthcare or something). You probably would start out at maybe $25,000 a year.

You could either say this is a start and go for it or laugh at this while waiting for the perfect opportunity, which may not come.

Take the civil service test as well. You could apply for various jobs.

I was thinking the same thing. Wish I could go back to 22 and I will start with nothing.

[bettilimbroke999]

Everybodyd like to go back and start over with nothing, what's the alternative shittin in a diaper and dying? I mean hell yes going back to 22 beats that, big surprise, meanwhile when you were 22 you felt exactly like usc, that your life was going nowhere, etc. etc.

[pavyracer]

I make $40/hr posting in this forum. Greatest job I've ever had. I get to know all the desperate people that make only 5c/post and wish they had my job. It's not my fault that they are underpaid when I get to live well.

Quite the opposite, bet. I was on top of the world. Making money, landing girls, had my own place and thought I had all the time in the world. Now with mortgage payments, car payments, prostate exams, losing hair where I want it and growing hair where I don't, restless sleep, getting up to piss 3 times a night,.....I wish I had it as "bad" as USC.

You were one of the few that didn't think his life was going nowhere at 22, most have shit jobs making 10 bucks an hour, throw in a gf and a shit apartment or living with mom/pop, but hell yea compared to where you are now I'd trade place with DacBiet, no one want to go into their 60s and 70s in some ways I wonder why we spend so much keeping late 70s and 80 something ppl alive, hell they lived their life, pull out a gun and cap em once in the head when they're not lookin and save a million a piece on healthcare and 15 yrs of suffering

[Panic]

bet, I'm going through this in my 30's. And this is suppose to be the goodtimes. Its all down hill from here.

USC-just look what awaits you. Dont push so hard to get there. Take it slow and find something you enjoy....or at least wont make up snap in 20 years and take out fellow employees.

[Bread]

I thought you was 56. You bastid.

[bettilimbroke999]

Damn Panic you kinda spoiled quick, in your 30s? Damn that was kind of a short ride of making money and landing girls, what the fuk happened, you move next to a nuclear power plant or something?

[Panic]

Gambling is what happened, bet. Gambling. It will suck the life out of you and take everything.

[bmw530i]

The real question is: Which personality are we talking to today?

[Bread]

The one in his 30s who doesnt like to drink.

I hate that one. Bring me back my old balls alcoholic Panic.

[Panic]

I am in my 30's with a 56 year old body. Just pour the dirt on me already.

My take?

Gawd, you are a whiny fvck.

Move out of the cozy confines of your parents house and how learn how life goes in the real world. Deliver pizzas. Paint houses. Support yourself.

Life will not come to you. You have to go to it.

Frankly, your parents should just kick you to the curb to make you understand that.

[Deuce]

Still need 2 years at least and academy for police work.

[goldengoat]

at 22 you are still a young pup

you need to explore your career options and find something that you could see yourself investing time and possibly money (schooling/training) in

if there is a line of work you think you might like than try to get a low paying job or internship to see if you actually like it. if you do then setup the school/training to get your career started but just know you'll have to start low on the ladder like most everyone else and work your way up. if you don't like the work/atmosphere than quit and explore something else

getting started is the hardest part. don't expect too much too soon. be prepared to work/study to get where you want.

[topgame85]

I'm 22 and don't feel like a lost cause I make $17/hr 25-30hrs a week before bonuses and shit and the rest of the time I get to handicap and gamble which is my passion/hobby, life is good man enjoy it while you got it if your not happy make a change keep the horse videos rolling there good

What do you do topper?

[SBR Lou]

I was thinkin about bein a cop too. 50k a year livin single is pretty solid. I can whack jj in the head with my knight stick.

Police officers also receive pay increases per their advancement up the ladder. 5 years of service and you're able to take a sergeants test, but that requires around 60-90 college credits. Sergeants, lieutenants can clear 100K.

Classy

Classy enough that I don't go onto a gambling forum whining about how tough life is while I have my parents pay my bills.


Let me guess, you're an Obama supporter, right?

[element1286]

Yep, 21, and going to school for engineering which I know I am not going to enjoy. Have a summer internship that pays 14/hour 40 hours a week, but I cannot stand it.

Dude, I was just having a lousy night and felt like venting. Honestly, what is it about putting down people you don't know that internet bullies get off on?

Let me guess:

You live in the south, make 75k a year, and think the republican party represents your interests in life.

Depends on where you work - state jobs pay better than some city/metro police.

[Bill Dozer]

Very few know what they are going to do in their early 20s. My advice is to keep doing what you enjoy while you can afford to. Live below your means and triple your workload. Direction is hard to come by at 22 but we have more time than any other point in our lives. Nothing wrong with living at home.
