OOT, What is your life situation?

I spawn this post b/c I'm 26. Starting to look for a job. Been grinding out micro/low stakes for the past two years. I was working as a floor dealer in a casino. Quit to play poker full-time while finishing up school. The casino paid decent (far more than I think I'll make now going into the real world), I enjoyed the people I worked with, but I just couldn't see myself working in a casino for the rest of my life. Finished a marketing degree 14 months ago. Truthfully, I don't really want to work in marketing, but I don't want to play poker forever either. I'm single, in good shape, but all-around very unhappy with my life to this point. I think I'll be happy once I'm 'on my way' - wife, possibly kids and a steady job, but right now I just can't envision how I'll get to point B.

Try not to worry about this... You're only 26 afterall. Try to keep your eyes open for good opportunities in all areas of your life and things will work out for the best.

Unhappy. I have lost all interest in life. A few things can make me happy in the short term (matter of days) but nothing helps for the longer term. I don't care where I am. I don't care where I am or could be going. Being alive and being dead are approaching the same value.

-Would you say you're happy with where you are?

Yes I'm very happy with where I am today. I dunno, I dropped out of university almost a year ago because it sucked and all the people sucked. So now I play a few hours poker a week and then do what I want with my time, it's awesome. Like a couple months ago I started dancing salsa for example which is loads of fun. Too bad it's only 1-2 times a week in my town, almost makes me want to move to a bigger city for more salsa :P

I'm happy but directionless, party excessively after dropping out of university in my final semester 2 months ago, live my life vicariously through drugs and women.
