Get a job? A master’s degree is certainly not required for most jobs.

25 years is nothing... You wasted nothing... Start living now and do what majority people do. Get a job (in your favorite field), find a hobby and spend you money on it

Well, definitely you can still build the kinda life you’ve always wanted, I think if you start now is not too late. All it take is investment whether on stock/crypto market or yourself..

Do whatever you want. I'm turning 45 soon and all I wanna do is podcast about a mobile trivia game I found two years ago. Don't let anyone tell you you fucked up. If you're alive you can change everything.

Forget about people you went to school with and bullied you. They don't matter going forward. You are in control of your life, and I promise that you are ahead of alot of people your age. Self pity is the quicksand of the mind. Never quit pursuing happiness

1000% agree.... " Self pity is the quicksand of the mind"... thanks for this... I really needed that... I was having a pity party this morning and really had to scold myself to stop it already... coz once it starts... it is never ending...

Do whatever it is you want to do relentlessly. If you quit, that's on you. If people fucking with you bothers you enough to make you quit, also on you. You seem like you're already in your own head (no offense) so just will yourself to do it buddy. My dad called it testicular fortitude lol. Best wishes going forward.

I hope so... unfortunately I have been very unlucky in crypto... there do not seem to be very many authentic altcoins nowadays... nearly all scams... hopefully things get better leading up to the 2024 bull run.

thats actually super cool and niche... you should try it i guess as nowadays there is not much original content on social media...

Where I live, it kinda is required. At least for a decent quality of life, getting a Master's degree would make things a lot easier.

What's your Masters in?

Daydreams are not, Ever, silly. They are your fuel. Life without having dreams to pursue is depressing. Dreams change throughout your life. I'm 63 and I'm pursuing a new dream of expatriating to Belize! While you Finish your Masters, think about how you can use it to pursue your dream. You could consult or do the digital nomad thing. Many potential expats are looking for a specialist to help them figure out how exactly to move overseas. Videos of your journeys and advice might be popular if you position yourself right. You got this!

The only zen you will find at the top of a mountain is the zen that you bring with you.

I do it. It just doesn't pay anything. Yet?

You can decently get a job in the IT field. You have plenty of experience doing simulations and so on. It’s maybe not as sexy as your dreams.

Hey, just wanted to say, I know at 25 it can feel like you’re not getting anywhere, I know I did. It took a while for me to figure out what I wanted to do, a lot of what i do/how I live could probably be described as non traditional.

I dropped out of college cause I didn’t know why I was there, I worked odd jobs and in random different fields, pursued some dreams, and found something that made me happy. It took a bit longer to get comfortable with it and feel like I was in a good spot.

Being an influencer is tough to make work, cause it basically depends on a lot of luck, and the right content. Think of things you enjoy, and maybe start taking pictures posting videos of those things, if that’s the route you want to take, but I’m curious why influencer? Not rock star, movie star, or just world traveler?

Do it! I’ve had a fair number of friends that started successful podcasts about different subjects. If you’re passionate about it, what’ve you got to lose?

Jeez what's with the stick up your arse... FYI my dreams have nothing to do with the degree... and no, "the IT field" or any respectable field requires a Master degree (at least where I live)... like I didn't look that up earlier🙄

I just kinda envy their life... I know it feels kinda shallow but I have always been obsessed with how they live... its not just about the money... its about the fun they have... their ability to monetize all of their personal life. They are not tied down by anything.

A rockstar/movie star?? Hmmm I am super untalented though and I hate having a management/record label that tells me how to act and who to be. Influencers really do have the best life tbh...

I feel like not having friends as a kid and not enjoying my teenage years have led me to crave the wild life those influencers have.

Thanks :) Wish you best of luck for your plan to expatriate to Belize!

You have not written anything about job applications I can’t read your mind my dude.

You seem to be the unreasonable one here. I’m trying to say you have plenty of skills people are willing to pay for. There is also a thing called moving if opportunities comes up elsewhere. Maybe this will satisfy your call for adventure too.

I won’t respond further.

Trust me when I say they don’t have such a life, they only portray it on social media. By accident I got to know some influencers I followed online in real life and in 95% of the cases I did not want to swap with them and they were kinda boring. Make sth. out of your life that is free from societal expectations what is considered a “cool” life. And as some already mentioned you are 25 - chill ;-)

You're doing great, friend. Your level of awareness is something to appreciate. You'll go as far as you can imagine yourself going! And along the way, as you do things YOUR way, living a life according to your terms and values, you'll find people who appreciate you.
You are under no obligation to be the same kind of person you were five minutes ago, and nobody can tell you who you are.

I've been doing it for 18 months. I mean I JUST wanna do that.
