22 years old, went into a trade at 18. Making six figures working half the year. Have traveled a large percentage of the world, so that dream is accomplished. Kind of getting bored with life now. I need something to work towards again. A goal far out there on the horizon that I have to constantly work for to achieve. The best way I know how to describe the feeling I'm missing is when I was playing football in high school. I was absolutely, terrible - 4th string. It didn't matter though, I was giving it my all to become better. Practicing when other people weren't, doing things other people were too lazy or didn't care to do. How do I find my life's purpose again after already achieving big goals I've aspired to all my life?

Put a million dollars in the bank and live off the interest. It was the smartest thing I ever did. I retired at 28. Now I only work when I want something extra.

what trade if you don't mind me asking ? I'm looking into my options as a 27 year old loser with liberal arts undergrad degree that never did much for me.

Learn a language.

It's one of the most rewarding things you can ever do if you apply it in real life. The next time you go somewhere, you could make connections. it's be even more impressive if you learned it yourself.

Trying to make it not so much about money, that's what it has been the past year or so, and it's not really doing me right mentally. For example, I've started to value myself based on how much money I have and as a result have made a few friends who in the back of my head, I know this is the only reason they're around :P

Merchant Marine. Since you already have a degree, I'd highly recommend Great Lakes Maritime Academy, as you can finish it in 3 years instead of the required 4 years at the other maritime academies. Also, please don't call yourself a loser bb <3

Merchant marines don't make six figures kek

>>17591048

Pretty much 100% correct, except the nepotism doesn't really affect you unless you're going for a political position within the union or trying to get a piloting job.

>>17591058

What's your source? Google? It's wrong. They don't factor in our overtime which puts us at over double our base salary.

Keep lying faggot

Cool story, bro. I'll tell it to my grandchildren.

Go to college.
Or start your own company
Or write the Great American Novel
Or marry and start a family
Or devote some of your time and energy to charity work
