    Hi everyone:sunny: need I little help here
    I'm feeling a bit desperate for not knowing what to do with my life and I know everyone is different but I want to know how do you keep yourselves happy and what do you do to get your money


    If you wanna suggest anything to me based on my context: I love nature, music, people, and I don't need money but to be of service, happy and to have food!
    I'm currently studying psychology, I'm a paraglider pilot, and I can't find the way to relate the things I love to my way of living. Also to live to what I know is right -Not capitalism!
    I really like to know your story and how was it that you find your way and start living for yourself and to nobody's expectations, which is easy to say and pretty obvious but not so easy to actually do

    Im 19 btw

    have you considered being a paragliding teacher, or doing tandem flights with tourists, etc?

    Well, I'm currently unemployed, so I can't give you any ideas. But I do clean house for an old lady once a week and am trying to get some more people who need some help around the house. I'm also rediscovering my creative side and am considering opening an Etsy-type shop. I'm 26 years old and still have no idea what I want to do with the rest of my life. lol

    how does a happy laid back lifestyle compare in priority to helping others?

    are you talking about short or long term income, or both?

    would you change majors or no?

    Yes, it is an awesome prospect and right now I'm like 200 flight-hours and a tandem paragliders away from it.

    Still I feel like I need a more radical change like a paragliding trip trough african mountains or just hitchiking or just findin that I'm adopted and I have a buch of brothers and sisters living in a rural town in australia and go there to live with them.

    is there something that you are particularly good at?

    see if there is any career counseling or aptitude training at your school

    often schools have mentoring programs, which might be useful

    if you had some huge talent at entrepreneurship and some technical skill, you could go start a company, make a huge pile of money, then put it toward some charitable cause

    following your current training, you could get a master's degree in social work. social work is hard to do though, high burn out rate, especially if you care about people and you are trying to help people most in need

    combining your current interests, maybe you could do some sort of wilderness adventure theraputic experience. kind of like outward bound.

    you could get a start with a program like that, or do camp counseling during the summers

    if you had any interest in starting your own wilderness adventure type tour program, you might want to get some advice on entrepreneurship generally

    i don't make it. the federal reserve, which is a bunch of banks the u.s. treasury is subcontracted out to, does. on presses they lease from the treasury department.

    kind of like selling each other the same horse back and forth to jack up the price.

    Maybe we should try, is it true that all printers are pre-configured to not print euros and dolars? I dont think they would recognize my country's money, and I wonder if vending machines would be able to distinguish. that could mean a lot of candy an coke

    Find something you love and the money will come. I also think you are wrong about capitalism. That is the only way to really be free, self actualized, and self sufficient. Although this is not to be mistaken with corporatism.

    I believe that too :), to find what you love is essential.
    Maybe is more about how to pass the hard times, when the light and the good stuff is just in the next turn but you don't have a clue so you worry like a madman.
    I may be wrong about capitalism.
    I don't reckon I have the knowledge or mental capacity necessary to recognize the true way to freedom.
