I know I have to work but I wish I could do it from home.
Using the Force is really, really, really hard. No matter how hard I try... 🙁
Actually, I'd say that the hardest thing is just getting up in the morning. School is bothersome and tedious, and work, when I had it, was even worse. Generally, though, after I get myself to start out with these horrid things, they prove to be not that bad - really, just not pleasant.
getting to the top of the ladder of whatever career u want to get into.and this applies to all the freakin careers out there.damn.(dun mind me...i hv just spent the last week researching the career of acting wich ive always wanted to get into boy its hard but i sooo love doin it...same with my drums..but its sooo hard its so discouraging now i'm torn btn a risky career doin the things im passionate abt and a secure career,the traditional kind..help!!!! (will that famous drummer ever be me???)
given a choice,wld u go for passion or secure money?
It's too hard to make enough to be able to retire at an age where you can still get the most out of life. We spend the best years of our lives slaving to keep our heads above water, financially speaking, and by the time we can afford to retire (HA!), we're most often past those good years. Ideally, we should all be able to retire by the time we hit 45. If you want to keep on working after that, fine! But for me, I'd rather be at home, enjoying my family. My boys are growing up WAY too fast for my liking, and I'm missing it.

Well, I gave up the dream, in a way, to do a job I don't really love so that I could make my family financially secure. That being said, I kept my passion... and now I can afford to indulge it a little more! I too am a drummer, and although I'm not the best drummer out there, (having to give up the time I would have used to learn to be a really great drummer) I do well enough that I'm now playing regularly in a band, and it's great! We do weekend gigs, some Friday nights, and we're starting to make some money now. And who knows, maybe someday it'll be steady enough that I can give up my day job. Until then, I still get to pursue my dream, just in a more limited way.
So, don't give up the dream. But don't be irresponsible, either. If you're going to support a wife and family, they come first. If you're single you have a lot more options open to you, as to where you're going to direct your life. Just one more word of advice; whichever way you go, make sure you have enough of a job to take care of your current financial responsibilities... don't let anyone 'carry' you... it's not easy, but you'll be a man. (Or woman, as the case may be... 😛 )
