That feel when you have strong career interests, but won't ever be able to achieve them

I don't have either of those.
Well, I wasn't smart enough to be an astronaut. I REALLY wanted to be an astronaut.
Wah wah wah. Life sucks, OP. Wear a helmet.
And get another, more realistic career path started.
Because of my mental diagnosis I will never be a federal agent like I always wanted to be.
Now my goal is to find a well paying job and provide for a family, have kids and make sure they have what they need to do what they want to do.

I have a good paying job right now. just it's not want I want to do
>>17177865
What agency?
OP here. I want a job with extensive travel. I'd love to be a airline pilot or a work for the State Department. But I'm not smart enough. I tried college, that shit was too hard. So now I make $60,000/yr doing security work. Yes, it pays well. But what's the point?
Unlike you, I do not ever want a family. so what do I have going for me if I can have a career I really want
>>17177876
*can't have

Since when do you have to be smart to be an airline pilot?
>>17177909
What do you mean? Airline pilots are very smart. They go through a shit load of training. Plus they have to have a bachelors degree (which I can't get)
>>17177876
Not the most glamorous job, but truck drivers travel a ton and Ive heard it pays well
>>17177963
I should have specified international travel
>>17177876
Wanted to be any. CIA, FBI, NSA, ATF. Dad's a police officer so I kinda wanted to "one-up" that as well as travel around the world/country.
You've just got to keep on trucking OP. I was shattered and only felt guilty and hollow for 5 years after the diagnosis. I wanted to give up numerous times, but family and friends wouldn't let me.
Life isn't perfect now, and it's still disappointing, but I'm happy :)

I just have nothing to live for..
