Ambitions, careers....or lack of?

I don't think I'm incredibly ambitious but I'm working towards a job I like and that can help people. It doesn't hurt that it pays well. I had built a career where I was a freelancer that was pretty successful but ultimately not what I wanted out of life. I dunno, I just don't want to be stuck in a rut and I don't really believe in having other people support me, especially when I'm capable of doing so myself. I don't want to be someone's burden.

^I feel the same way. I don't want to be someone else's burden. I too don't like getting stuck in a rut...

Way too ambitious. I have a constant need to improve myself.

I'm not the most ambitious person, but I would still like a job that I like where I can constantly improve my skills over-time.

I never ask other people to support me even if I have to sleep under a bridge. But if someone offers me help then I feel obligated to help myself in return (financially). But I think people confuse "bettering yourself" and "having a nice paying job/career". There's no shortage of scumbag lawyers making 6 figures a year as a career. My town has one, not long ago he traded in his Corvette for a Rolls Royce. And I've met homeless hippies that are the nicest and most awesome people I've ever met. Money has nothing to do with how good a person you are or bettering yourself, only with convenience and luxury.

i agree with you vampire, I just wanna do something that I love as well as long as it can support me to afford my basic needs

Couldn't put it any better myself, oreo.

I can support my basic needs and do. But, I don't just want to survive, I want to live. Basic needs seem to be the hardest things met the world over, but I live in a country where even the poor are rich compared to the majority of the world. It may have changed since I last heard, but the average yearly income world wide is something like $1600. Count yourself blessed if you can afford to dream.

Bit stuck in my life right now. I'm going back to school so taking some baby steps to get somewhere else, but damn. Either pharmacy isn't for me period or I really need to get another job elsewhere, been at the same one for about 3 years and it's brought out a nasty amount of stress. I commend others who can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but right now I want to focus on the NOW and the current so I can enjoy my days... right now. Really hope I get a new job soon.

I just want a shill job (no customers, please never) that gets me enough money for videogames and cons. My current plan to start a bottom tier tester job or something at some japanese videogame companies and try to move up from there.
