Older posters - are you content with how your life turned out so far?
When I was little I always thought I would be very happy when I grew up. A large part of this was assuming I would be rich or famous, or just successful in something I was passionate about.
Now that I'm about to graduate college the most likely scenario I'll be in is getting some generic business job making 40k a year to start with.
Thats not so bad in itself, but it makes me depressed to think I will be reduced to being some souless businessman for a large part of my life and that my sleeping patterns, friends, family, hobbies, etc. will all be influenced by this in some form.
I'm working on some small projects with dancing and music right now that in my wildest dreams would take off and I'd be able to make money off of that. But realistically I can only see the horrible 9-5 thing in my future.
Its very disenchanting and makes life seem kinda of miserable to me right now.
How has life turned out so far for you older 2+2ers? regarding your choice of career and how it influences your life especially.
