How old were you when you decided what you really wanted to do with your life?

@deadgerbil okay officer tatum

@empanadas 🤮

@deadgerbil I hope to see your dream. Kill those damn spiders!

@MsSwan Yeah, for everyone it's different.

@MsSwan
Oh yeah, young people get asked that question all the time. It's like f*ck if they know. We didn't.

Well I mean holy poon snap, who the hell knows what they want to do when they are like 25 and under?
Oh wait, they DO know. They want to, ummm, "be romantic", party, enjoy life. Perform scientific tests of the effects of alcohol, using random beverages, and maybe "partake" in a bit of 420.

But is there an age where people know "what they want to be when they grow up?" Well, my personal experience is - that age isn't 48. 😄 I still do not know but I am pretty sure my present job isn't it.

Ya know Swan, I do not know if you have kids but I bet you would be a "cool parent". I know I am.

@Punches 😂

I don't have kids, but I agree I would've been a cool parent. I was always too afraid of the responsibility.

@Activitykittens Well right now, I am studying Computer Science with a focus on web development.

@Punches I'd be retired and on a good pension by now.

@NativePortlander1970 It kind of bites because at our age there are not many options and we really do not have the energy to pursue "big things".

In our youth the world says we are too young, after a point we are told we are "too old".
Or you do everything right but one tiny slip-up and it all crashes down.
OR, you work so hard towards a goal but then the reward is basically handed to someone who has never lifted a finger.

@Punches All too true :(
