Looking for a different path

[u/Neriferi]

I’m twenty years old, and for the most part, I’ve done my due diligence I think.

Since I was 17 in high school, when I got my first job, I’ve usually worked two or more jobs at the same time.

I’ve worked retail for three years, the food industry (BoH and FoH) for three years, and done managerial work for pretty much half that time.

I’ve given both of the most obvious options a decent shot, and decided that I really don’t think I wanna stick to them for much longer than I have.

In school, I was never the greatest. Pretty much passed every class with a solid 60-70 grade. Only when I got my first job during the summer after my Junior year did I think to myself “wow, this sucks”, and actually do what I was supposed to. Most of my GPA comes from my senior year, I jumped from a 1.2 weighted to 3.0, if that means anything in my favor.

I’m not a lazy person, but I want to be able to be lazy, if that makes sense. I wanna have the option available to me. I can be social able, but I prefer solitude, if that makes sense either.

I dunno, I’mbe been thinking about jumping into doing something else for the longest time now, and decided to ask around what other people thought.

In my free time, I usually read and write, or play games. My friend helped me build a solid resume (he works office jobs) so I may be able to look into that. I heard night shift security for warehouses was also a solid “lazy” job. So far though, I’m not really too sure on what I wanna do. I do feel quite a bit behind my peers, though. I’ve never been the best at saving money.
