y'ever think back to school when they were like "oh you have to have an idea of what you want to do when you grow up and have like a five year plan anda ten year plan so what do you want to be when you grow up" and you honestly didn't have a fucking clue so you were like just naming the first shit that came to your head immediately knowing full well that WASN'T it but no matter what you couldn't think of anything becuase, well... what the fuck COULD you think of??
genuinely this is some straight fuckin' bollocks that adults used to talk, and the school system pushes. fucking hell. let us fucking LEARN something about the bloody world first before forcing us to make career plans that are 99% opf the time gonna fucking fail because the only people they'll ACTUALLY succeed for are already rich and/or have parents to pay for it all for them and likely aren't even AT These fucking schools holy shit.
@Nine spoiler alert the job center and associated people LOVE playing the "where do you see yourself in X years" card
like as if I, someone with barely any qualifications and is just here so I have some semblance of money coming in until i find somewhere that fucking hires me, have the ability to plan like that
by doing that I'm just setting myself up for failure and not much else
@Nine add in the fact that in my worldview I find it really hard to plan for the future when the future is perpetually uncertain and literally anything could swing that plan into being trashed at any point. life and it's ways of moving are nothing but chaotic, trying to force it into some sort of ordered way of working rarely works unless you know for certain things will pan out that way
and it only does if you're (a) clairvoyant or (b) a professional businessman
@pupy It's complete bullhockey that schools do this and train kinds to strive for failure , and then tell them it's THEIR fault they failed rather than the fact the odds were stacked against them from the beginning, or telling them that any of their goals that AREN'T destined to immediately fail are "unrealistic" simply because they don't "make money". fucking capitalistic bullfuckery. I despise it. It's irrevocably damaged entire generations and they're still trying it. ugh.
@Nine I'm not sure they have long-term plans either so much as they can keep trying stuff (a bit like me) and they don't have to worry necessarily about being able to afford more than the minimum tuition.
@Nine This reminds me of a lady I overheard talking with someone about her future plans, and she seemed to have the next few years planned to within years (maybe not months, but things like 6 or 9 months) but one of the first things she'd planned on was having a child.
As I understand once you have one you more or less have a 10 year plan, and it's "whatever the heck bullshit comes up surrounding this child". Can't reliably plan for anything else. :P
@Nine So true for me. I'll just wait and see how this turns out.
really do not understand how anybody has a ten year plan, let alone a five year, or ONE year plan, or even knows what they wanna do when they grow up. I SITLL have no fucking clue what I want to do in the future. I'd LIKE to keep writing and make this a successful venture but before I started this I genuinely was like "welp guess i'm doing that in my spare time forever and working in shops until I die hahahaha fuuuuckk...."
