    Well, DU, your life story certainly reduces my perception of your age - I had you pegged for mid to late 20's, but looks like I was wrong.

    Quethim, people also say they can stop smoking all the time. Old habits die hard.

    As for my life story, well, I finished school, and got into my Uni degree. I'm in the second of three years. Now that I'm there, I'm questioning what I'm doing there, because all I want to do is do shit all for the rest of my life...and possibly jump ship and go to England or America to get away from my responsibilities :smile:. Instead, I'm going to finish my degree and get a job.

    I will put my two cents in.

    I am currently employed as an Engineering Technician at a power plant in western Pennsylvania. I have a Bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering Technology from Thomas Edison State College and am working on completing a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering. I am in charge of my plant's maintenance program. It is all done via computers, so I spend most of my day in front of mine. That is how I can post all day.

    BTW, gamenut, how did you end up with my other job (protecting Jar)?

    ........

    I'll probably be working at a grocery store this summer.
    (I'm 14, I don't even have a work permit yet). But still, minimum wage to a 14 year old adds up to a lot because we don't have to pay any bills or anything like that :D

    I'm probably the youngest person in this forum that actively posts.

    Yep. You should be thinking low 20's. :)

    Bah.. They've changed the "quote" code? Now I need to quote = name? Bah....

    It's kind of funny reading that. It kind of validates my decisions. Because I went through the whole "What to do" part already, I'm really pushing to actually DO something. If I went to UNI, I get the feeling I'd go pure egghead and ace the class :) Mainly because I WANT to. I think if I hadn't been through what I did, I'd probably be in Uni thinking the same thing. I think everyone has to go through that "teenage angst" for themselves. It's not something that can be substituted for, by being told by someone that "You should do this rah rah rah.... Because it'll benefit you in the long run". I think everyone has to learn it for themselves, from their own experiences.

    Why am I a little concerned for the power supply in Pennsylvania?? :D It's that "Nuclear" word in there that concerns me..... I suppose, if Pennsylvania ever disappears of off the map of the U.S.A, then we'll all know who to blame. :)

    Would anyone notice, or even care, DU :D?

    Also, I seriously doubt what I am experiencing is 'Teenage Angst'. That to me suggest all sorts of rebellious things. I don't do all sorts of rebellious things. I am experiencing that wonderful thing known as 'doubt'. I 'doubt' what I am doing as the correct path, even though I'm pretty sure that it was. I'm 'doubting' I chose the correct degree. I'm 'doubtful' that I'll get a job.

    Hence, I am a 'doubter' and not a 'Teenage Angster'.

    I em suffering from the same thing jar, i don't rightly know what i would like to become but i got alot of time to think so that is not much of a problem.
    I think that if i just take the classes that i em good at then i will eventually end upp in a job that i like.

    Currently a restaurant delivery boy. Yes, said but it doesn't pay too bad. I'm also a freelance writer, though no really wants to pay for good quality writing nowadays...so yeah, life's pretty damn boring..

    Can you deliver one in my back jard? A italian one in marble but with wines hanging over the rof and a few violin players, with lot of pizza in the oven, the chef must know how to make different kinds of pizza. Stone floor wich can be danced on. Yes, and leave the anchovies.

    Deliver it to my house in less than half a hour and i will give a nice tip.
