Much love to those who respond. My situation is quite infertile for decisive choices, so far. Im coming up on finishing a second semester of college, and if i gained anything, i have realized that college certainly is not for me. So now comes my second path in my life: The journey of hitchhiking my way around the world, to find my place and true calling. I have many destinations and many goals, but there is a crossroads i must take. You see, i have been offered a full time job by mechanic father, who will teach me the basics of his trade. It is pretty cool opporotunity, but i am still uneasy with it. I feel a urge to just go with my own plans now, while i am still alive, than to delay them any longer and take up his offer. With this urge, and alot of other things pushing me towards embarking now (like the looming depressions and possibilies of being unable to travel and such) i am at a severe dilemna. I know it would be "smart" by some definition to take up my fathers offer and work with him, but, i feel that it would be more fulfilling to go on my own path, and forge my own destiny and carve my own niche. By nature, im a very hard worker and willing to learn anything new. But what do you reccomend? summary!: what do you reccomend i do? Leave now and embark on my own journey, or stay and work with my father? Your words are embraced with ample appreciation.
Life can end any day. If your dream is to find your place and calling in this world, why hesitate to pursue that dream? I say go for it while you can. You will learn more on this journey than a set of skills to use at a job. Enjoy the ride.
dazedgypsy hits the nail on the head when the question of motivation come to mind, when it comes down to why i feel urged to leave now. Yet, everyone recommends i take the responsible path and work with my father. Sometimes responsibility can be a real nasty twine of rope, or atleast other's sense of what responsibility is...
