    I went to clown school, lived my 20s as an actor, now work in marketing for a software company.

    But I’m still an actor. Can’t talk about a lot of my achievements without doxxing myself - but some world firsts, imdb credits, awards, etc

    My day job bought me a house, my other job bought me life skills, enjoyment, friends, a sense of worth, achievement and happiness.

      I used to want to be a teacher, and would still consider it, but the drop in pay would be abysmal

      Agreed, and it could also be changed dreams. Maybe got older and found other interests. I feel like the comic could read just as well as a being surprised how far my chosen course was from what I used to want

      I wish they paid EMTs more. I was planning on going for an EMT cert for kicks and giggles if I had time but I couldn’t imagine doing it for a living because they get paid like shit for one of the most stressful jobs.

    I originally went to college to be a high school teacher but went into computer science when I found it. I had one semester where I was a geology major and a computer science minor (thought I could be an earth science/computer teacher), but decided I didn’t want to go in for something else just to be able to teach computers.

    Eventually decided to do computers all the way and no regrets. Sometimes our dream jobs aren’t what we think I they will be.

    Fun story, on the university website my freshman year, I first signed up under ‘Phys Teaching’ thinking “oh I love physics”. Turns out it was Physical Education Teaching. Yeah no

    Its honestly amazing on its own that they are quite good at drawing as an EMT. You’d think they’d be so busy nowadays.

    at what age do you become aware of the fact that just because you want something doesnt mean youll get something? this just comes of as petulant whining about reality.

    and wtf does this have to do with the communist party??

    e. nm, i see its a hexbear propaganda bleed

    Nothing wrong with being an EMT who does all those things as hobbies, unless the capitalist pigs to whom you sell your hours demand more than their fair share…
