View Full Version : I missed my true calling

I think I missed my true calling in life and went to college for the wrong major.  I went to work in TV (Videographer), and when I graduated in 2000, I started working in a local station in Pa.  After a year or so, I got so sick of the whole thing (more just tired of the bullshit I went through and exploited by the station), I quit and returned to NYC.  I've been doing office job stuff now, but I realized that I should have became a writer in some way.  I realized that as I was posting on my blog, and how I can bang out 400-500 words without really thinking.  I also realized how easy it was for me to write papers for class and get at least a B on them.   I'm sad now because I really wish I could go back and tell myself to look into a writing-related major.  I wish I could get a writing-type gig, so I can make money with something I just found out I enjoy. Sorry if this seems stupid, but I'm just writing off the top of my head, look at my blog for more proof of my writing skills (which people say isn't bad)

Not to sound like Dr. Phil, but it's never too late to go change something in your life man.

if you graduated in 2000, you are still a young guy. Buck up and go do what you want. give it a try now before you are tied to a family and mortgage and are wondering if you would have made it. Who fucking cares if you fail. Anyone who will judge you never had the balls to try anything themselves.

My brother went to school for 8 years to be a lawyer. I practiced law for several years (and was good at it) but he hated it. He bounced around for a couple of years He's now been working for NOOA for close to ten years. He loves it there. It's never too late for a change.

I might try to go into some writing classes, I don't know.  And about me being young, It's funny I know I relatively am young, but everything in this society makes me (at 26) feel old

I didn't read a Goddamn thing in this thread besides the title. I just
know that I should have been some kind of race car driver. That is the
calling that I missed. It is also all for now; thank you, come again.

I graduated in '95 with a degree in psychology.  I've been working in an office for about 8 years and I absolutely hate it.   I realized that sitting at a desk all day is not something I was meant to do.  I realized I'm not getting any younger and that now if I'm not happy with my situation, I'm the only one who can change it.   I decided to become a massage therapist, and I'm actually enrolling tonight.  Can't wait to start my classes!   You're still young...go out and get what you want, dammit!

Sometimes I think my true calling may have been being on the cast of "Different Strokes," being that I'm always being thrown in jail and that I'm small and black.

i don't understand people who take writing classes. the person giving the class is usually a failed writer himself.if you want to write, write. it's never too late.
