Career Ambitions

A friend of mine cannot sing worth ****, but is SO driven and persistent, I think he will make it, he just did a remix and they made his voice sound great.....I was going to tell him straight up to consider a different career, now I'm thinking he will make it....
With my writing, I have gotten some good accolades, and music wise, I feel like I've turned a corner. As a musician I'm sure you can relate to the whole "learning curve" thing. I've only been making music for about 5 years, but I can see I am getting better at the craft. I definitely don't want to be one of those delusional dudes though, so I will keep it in check. How I WISH I could be happy being a lawyer/marketing mgr/HR director.....but I guess it's not in the cards.

P.S. How is the health?</div>

Yeah, I wish that being a lawyer brought some sort of happiness to me too, or some other profession like that. I just don't get the point of having all the money in the world if you hate your job. I hated school, like I'm sure most everyone did. I remember hating having to wake up every day and hating Sundays because the next day would be Monday... those are the worst feelings in the world... I want to be able to look forward to the next day. That's why I dropped out of business school.

Happiness + little money > Depression and anxiety + lots of money

You writing any screenplays or anything at the moment?

BTW - Health?

Unfortunately, a lot of people get caught in that trap.

Yeah, i got some scripts. I just finished one that I'm giving to Lyndsay Lohan's manager, which is a contact I am lucky to have, like you said who you know is important...

re health: I thought you were battling some substance demons a month or two back........not to judge or anything, just making sure you're taking care of yourself and s**t.

Damn, that's a pretty sweet hookup... what's the basic premise of the script?

And yeah, I've had some problems, but I took subutex for a few weeks, and then they switched me onto suboxone, which are both opiate withdrawl drugs. So now every time I need a fix, I can just pop some suboxone and it'll go away... it's making me really reclusive though... making me want to spend a lot of time alone and on the computer (hence all the time on JBB)... but hell, it beats heroin withdrawl...

.... thx for the concern though bro'...

My goal is to be VC's Towel boy/inside man, when writing gets tough or he needs some inside info, I'll be there. When he needs a spoofy word to spice up his article, I'll be there. When he needs a glass of water, I'll be there. When Michigan St. is getting the hell beaten out of them, I'll be in a safe place away from him

I'm not sure what I want to do, I really want to do something with sports because they're the only real interest I have. I don't like math, I don't like science, I don't like business, and I don't like much. I do like to write about sports but I've never made JBB's writing team so I'm not sure if I'd be successful. I was thinking about going into Sports Medicine and try to get some scouting job but the odds aren't good unless you got some insider to help you out. One thing that I'm considering is going to some mid-major school and see if I could get into their B-Ball program somehow. Maybe my intense towel boy training with VC might come in handy

Director/Actor, but I really lean towards directing.

there was a time when I wanted to be journalist (used to be my major), but I'm majoring in Psych., because I want to be a guidance counselour for adolescent youth........

I dropped out of High School, and really for the last couple of years, I've had no clue what it is I want to do with my life, but over the last 6 or so months, I've finally settled on what I want to be, a Police Officer.

I have a strong passion for helping people out, and I have had some bad experiences within my family relating to Drug Abuse and what not, so I would like to help try and get people out of and away from that lifestyle. Eventually, I would like to make detective, and work Homicide cases and do Undercover work etc. but I'm not going to get too far ahead of myself, lol.

I'm still a year or 2 away from this goal, I need to undertake some study at Tafe (preferbally in the Justice field) and I need to firstly get my Provisional drivers licence, then keep that for a year, although it should tie in nicely with the completion of my studies, but I'm working on it.

So yeah, what do you guys have planned for your future? What would you like to be?</div>

You don't need a degree to be a cop.

Most of it is a piece of cake if you have half a brain and some fitness.

I applied once, I have a degree in Criminal Justice, it didn't do anything for my application. I fell at the last step which was a panel interview.

It might be a different Application Process in Victoria than it is up here, because I need like a Cert IV in somthing before I can apply. I'm going to go for Cert IV in Justice Administration, once the course opens up...

My friends brother applied down there also, and he didnt need it either, he sat a test, but he failed the spelling part, lol.

As it is right now, I can't become a cop because I fail the standard colour vision tests. For some reason, I can't see the numbers in some of the circles in tests like these: http://www.toledo-bend.com/colorblind/Ishihara.html
But I have no difficulty distinguishing red from green or anything like that otherwise. Can't really see the point why something like this would be important for a cop though...

Really?

That's interesting. I got a degree in Criminal Justice and it didn't even help me.
