>Going to be 23 in 4 months >Just now realized that I want

My neighbor across the street growing up was a psychiatrist who always mentioned that he didn't start school for it until he was 29. 23 is ridiculously young. Shut the hell up and stop blaming external factors for your own feelings of inadequacy. If you really wanted to be a psychiatrist you'd be filling out applications right now.

>Schooling takes too long at this point

This is a meme, it's literally never too late to go to school. "They" only tell you it is to pressure kids into doing shit they don't want to do so they can make bank off of them faster by getting them into the work force faster.

It took me 3 years of NEET life to figure out what I wanted to study after highschool.

1 in 1000 kids goes to school and comes out with fast track onto a well paying job with no hiccups, that won't be you. You need to fight anon, go and learn.

>Just now realized that I want to be a psychiatrist
2 months from now, you'll just realize you want to do a completely unrelated job

Everybody gets a sudden awakening that they could totally do a certain job and they'd love it, but they can't do it because it's "too inconvenient now." It's the same thing as when you're in bed late at night, and you suddenly get a super great idea about a story you could write that'd sell a million copies, but it's too late to start today. But you don't start tomorrow. No one ever does.

You can still do it. You are never going to be this young again, so you may as well start now, you're not too late.

>am 24
>just lost my job
>it's not even the career I want to be in

I think it's about time I ended it.

Did he ever go in depth? When did he actually start practicing? How'd he manage to balance the inevitability of work with studies? How did he find the time for a family with such a schedule?

>Filling out applications
I can't afford it, I'm risk-averse and hate the idea of loans, my father blew my College money on a string of actual mistresses and escorts.

Plus, I've looked at the applications. Unless I continue at Community College where I've currently been dicking around, I'd have to wait until the school year after the upcoming one to actually start going. I've missed the cutoff for the upcoming year.

Plus, the gf/family thing is really starting to nag at me.

I've been toying with this idea for months now, I just finally had the realization that it would work in theory.

Thanks anon, I'll keep it in mind. What'd you decide you wanted to do? What did your life look like whilst attending school? Did you make it?

>>35986909
I decided that I was going to stop trying to be someone I'm not and embrace that I'm my happiest when I'm sat in front of a computer screen doing creative things, so I'm going to University for digital media production

I haven't made it yet anon, nobody makes it. Do what you love.

>>35986955
I hope it works out for you anon. Good luck with that.

If I come out of school with a slightly more than minimum wage job with a roof over my head and food to eat I'll be happy. Will it work out? Who knows.

I have no great goals or desires, I just want to be happy.

I used to date a girl who looked like her. Bretty gud

Why does it work in theory?

"I like talking to people so it'd be totally cool. But the whole studying, and research, and school, and 8 years of devotion to all that before I even get a chance to start my 16 hour a day job which necessitates dealing with people fucked up beyond belief and who'll come to me right before they inevitably end their life which'll end up being a burden placed on me by their surviving family is something I don't want to deal with. Aside from that, the good parts, like money and talking, are really good. People tell me I'm a good listener, so it'd work."
