Get a job. McD or anything else.
The money isn't much but you'll get:
1) An appreciation of the value of work. You'llmeet people not working to buy a camera or hobby type items, but to help support a family. Willmake you grateful for what you have.
2) Learn to have a work ethic, a schedule. The importance of grunt work. I eventually owned my own business, but if there was shit work to be done (get rid of water after rain from roof, carry heavy items) I had to do it, not just the fun part.
3) Learn what good and bad management is by observing the manager.
4) Learn what it takes to run a business. A time tested way to go into business is towork for someone else first to learn the ropes so you don't make the typicalmistakes. What you learn at McD isn't applicable just to McD or restaurants, but to all kinds ofother businesses.
5) Motivate you to get an education and skills (academic or blue collar skill) so you don't dogrunt workfor minimum wage. Working summers in a warehouse with no air conditioning suredid it for me.
6) Show a future employer that you had the discipline to show up on time and do the work.
7) Feel like an adult whocan earn his own money instead of a kid bumming money from his parents.
Reading blogs and playing videogames will NOT help you figure out your life.
