Hence, the response: I really feel for you. I'm not at the age where I can even get a good job (I'm 15), but I can pretty much put myself in your position. Congrats on trying to stick with your passions. There's very little point in selling your sanity in order to pursue a career you're not interested in. Passion is more important than anything else, and you can truly excel in the things you are interested in. This all leads me to the following question (I ask myself this frequently): What's the point in spending thousands of dollars for college when there's a good possibility you aren't going to land a good job anyway? I know there's a ton of benefits to college, but is it really worth it? Anyway, when I do finally have to decide on a career, it won't be anything spectacular. I just need to get enough ca$h to start my own business. Maybe you should consider self employment? Cool little blog you've got going on here. You have some really awesome writing abilities, so keep on reviewin'! -Brian P.S. Good luck with the whole job jazz.
