Work is going pretty good today. Perhaps I'm too hard on myself, but I really need to get things moving in the right direction if this is truly what I'm going to be doing for the next couple years (or perhaps longer).
I keep having thoughts about 'the big picture' of my life, and the way things are vs. what they probably should be:
I am 23 years old, have a great finance job, and live at home with my parents. Granted, in my current financial situation, this is my only realistic option. If I am absolutely sure (which right now, I am not in the slightest) that I will be able to hold down this job for a while, I would be more than happy to move out and commit a portion of my salary to rent and live with my friends. However, I don't want to be caught with my pants down, i.e. unemployed and saddled with money problems. Living at home, which is death for my social/love life, is hopefully going to provide me the financial freedom in a year or so to make up for it.
I can't help by think that I am wasting my 20's, though. You are only young once, and once you hit 30, you really need to be secure and have the rest of your life pretty much planned out. I don't want to be 'that guy' that everyone knows, the guy who is still struggling with what he wants to do when he's already... old.
Do I want to sit in an office for the rest of my life? I'm not sure that I do. "I'm not sure..." is the answer to 95% of the questions about my life's current direction. I want to be sure. I just have no idea how to be.
