I’m slowly waking up to the fact that most of the bullshit personal melodramas and narratives that permeate my thoughts and dictate my actions are basically worthless. They do nothing but impede my progress in life, keep me in a shit mood, and act as buffers protecting my ego from my subconscious fears. I think the only way for me to break out of this rut is to take massive action and take it now.
As a longtime lurker I know you guys are wary of posters that haven’t yet contributed to the forum but there’s a lot of great men and wisdom on this board and it would be foolish for a young guy like me not to at least try asking for advice.
Just to give you quick look at my situation, I’m an early 20’s white dude from a small town. No college. Introverted. Well traveled. Solid nutrition and gym habits. History of problems with addiction. I’ve done well making it work through side hustles and now have some savings as well as equity in a business that’s paying me about 2k usd per month hands off. I’ve taken care of my immediate family so I have no emotional ties to any location and can go pretty much anywhere.
My question to you gents is, what sorts of professions or crafts nowadays make sense for a young dude with an entrepreneurial mind to pursue? And in what location? I’ve gained a lot of wisdom (for my age) and abstract knowledge through my exploits and obsessive reading over the years but it’s time to dedicate myself to something concrete and start building for the long-term. Could going back to school be in my best interest? Studying what? Alternatively, what fields are booming either now or will be in the future that I can independently immerse myself in, master, and eventually cash in on?
Appreciate any and all advice or ideas and I look forward to giving back to the board as I go through my journey
