Hello,
I am not sure where to post this but I think here is an ok spot. just tell me if it is not,
I posted it here because I think that you might be able to give feed back or relate.

Well I was wondering what you think about what you should be when you grow up, wether you should do something that may not be stable but you belive in 100% and makes you happy or you should do something you might not like but you could have a stable home and money yo spare.

Some times we think that of corse you sould be happy but how we where raised we have known other wise. Well not we have been meating a lot of people that do what they want and are pashonite about 100% dont nessaceraly have a lot of money and have trubble getting by a lot,

Please give what you think,
I would love to hear,
Lilly

that is up to you and your priorities. is stable more important than your passions?

why can't you have a stable life doing what your passionate about? what is it that you are passionate about that you can't make a living out of, can it be a hobby or a side job then?

doesn't sound as if you are conflicted on what you want to do, more sounds as if you are conflicted on pleasing other people. at some point you have to do what you want and others will have to accept your decisions

When I went to college, I studied to become an animator/cartoonist. I didn't think about the consequences of my actions (I figured that I would be happy just doing what I loved), until the bills came in. While I loved cartooning, it wasn't bringing in any money and therefore I had to stick it out and work in the corporate world.

This isn't to say that you can't do what you love -- but sometimes you have to set your perfect world in order to survive in this crazy world. Frankly, I think your priorities should be on survival, but it's your risk if you want to take on an alternative decision.

Would it mean more to have a good life? What does that mean? does it mean that you can pay the bills and have a lot of money but stresses you out and you hate doing it or where you just barly make it by but your really happy....

Sometimes I wonder what is better or worce,

that decision is up to you and you can have as many career's as you want in your life, doesn't just have to be one. if you are unfulfilled or not making money than you just change what you want to do. I thought I wanted to do something out of college and boy was I wrong about that. I could have made money out of it but it wasn't what I was meant to do. Then I found out that counseling was the perfect fit for me. Like i said previously it is up to you and not others to decide what course to take in life and every step is a learning lession in my opinion.
