I became a teacher after erroneously thinking I could handle the math and science involved in pre-veterinary medicine. You? You take a year or two undeclared taking classes that actually seem interesting, then decide based on the classes you enjoyed and did well in.

Or try and become a male gigalo...if you can do that, let me know how...cause damned if'n there aren't male gigalo classes.

A question that plagues each of us at some point and now is mine or at least relatively soon. Been asked for years already and each time cooly said "No clue, no aspirations, no thoughts." but as it comes time to apply to the big U I find myself fucked, literally fucked. As in someone lubed me up and took me for a spin around the block while I was passed out at 3am in the morning.

Anyways curious as to how you fellas have dealt with or are dealing with this cursed problem. What decisions you made, advice etc etc ad nauseum.


As far as University goes, take your time. Take a variety of classes and find what clicks for you. It took me over three years to claim my major, when I did my advisor took me out to the rest of the office and they all clapped; they knew of me because of my lack of committing to a majro and because I wore shorts during the winter months on campus. Sort of funny, but enjoy your time at college, but you're there to learn too.

I found Jesus while attending college so my goal is to do God's will. To serve the best way I can, to be as Christ like as possible and also to be the best husband I can be. Maybe one day I'll Forrest Gump my way into a job I'm really passionate about, but I enjoy the job I'm currently in.

Someone really loves Say Anything. Good movie.


First time I heard Cusack say this line I remember feeling like, "Yup... that about sums it up for me".

Cusack is key. Favourite all-time top five movies by him in no particular order: High Fidelity, Say Anything, Grosse Pointe Blank, Cradle Will Rock, Being John Malkovich.

Write a book that's good enough to inspire others to want to become writers (just like what Gaiman's done for me).

Start up a magazine about stuff that goes beyond what's cool.

Replace "Being John Malkovich" with "The Grifters" and you are close to my list.

Oh, the usual. High paying job, loving family, see as much of the world as possible. Get a story published in a funny book...


Damnit...I thought of it immediately too...but I just read this ariticle now and missed my shot...sigh

And the fact that I know who Twisted Sister is just made me feel very old...

Something I never could decide upon. I just finished up my first semester of school...majoring in studio art. Didnt know what to do but my teachers all claim Im talented...so studio art it is!
I just bought a house and am working on that...and try to treat my girl right in hopes that that will all pan otu...
Somebody once said that his friends that had no clue what to do with their lives were the most interesting people he knew, so Im just gonna run with that.

This is a great topic. It's good to hear everyone's 2 cents on this.

This is totally what my new Kabuki series The Alchemy is about. It is basically a blue print for finding your niche and calling in life. The practical applications of it.


And I have a friend who did some work as a male gigalo. It's not really like the movie.

Why doesn't that surprise me?

I want my book out there, because I believe I've something to say. I think, when we think about our dreams for the future, we all have something to prove--if not to someone else, than ourselves.

Lets assume your mother isn't an insane, demanding type who will abandon you if you're not published in a medical journal, and say you saved her! How?

he doesn't mean he rescued. he means the one right before that. if he didn't put out, she was going to leave him. Sad
