We're Here, Now what?

Most of us have probably went through the following: 2-3 years of KG, 12 years of highschool and finally 4-5-6 (depends) of university. We worked so hard throughout those years waiting for the day when we actually complete this indoctrination period so “we can get out in the real world”, We’ve done an amazing job developing our cheating strategies, skipping tactics, acting skills and bullshitting most of our papers.. but we have done it, yes we have fucking did it.. but hold on….. NOW WHAT?

Well for starters, recall most of what you learned in school and you will find that…yeah, you dont remember shit.. especially if you’re in Business.. and even if you do there are probably thousands of other dandy graduates like yourself who know this shit..So begin with accepting the fact that you’re not so special and no you probably won’t get some managerial job or even supervisory. Once you have accepted that, then you gotta lower your standards.. apply for jobs that you actually believe in and know you can do well in, for most of us some of our skills and abilities do not go hand in hand with our degrees..and if you are worried about the money.. well these days every fucking endeavor will make money.. doesnt really matter what you do..think about that for a minute. If that doesnt sound appealing then you have to actually lower your standards in your arguably bullshit field of studies. Say you studied restaurant management, WOW good for you!! reality is you gotta start in the kitchen or as a server. You’re degree only comes in when you want to move up..it doesnt move you up by itself.. you gotta develop some kind of passion for whatever you are doing in order to actually utilize that degree to excel. so going back to my example, if you start at a restaurant as a server, you will probably find those who are much older than you doing the same job! and thats where you’re degree comes in as a lift, a moral lift in the sense that it pushes you to actually go the extra mile and think ahead instead of being another robot! It sounds harsh but in reality, it is quite true… if you look up most executives, CEO’s or what have you; you will find that they started quite low, and that is what separates them from others, developing an dynamic of experience combined with that “lift”.. you know what i am saying. Another important ascept to this subject is the fact that you’re education plays a very important part in taking you beyond being an employee. If you want to sit in some cubicle and all you actually achieve is moving into a bigger one then you just wasted a shit load of money on education. its so much what you learn, its also how you learned it and what you can do with it ( I hope most of you agree on this, if anybody is actually reading this shit!!). So So SOO what now? or now what?..If you already have a job and you dont think you like it or dont believe in it, then drop that shit pronto, sounds like a shallow comment?? well offcourse it does, fuck, people have been saying that for so long, it became an abstract piece of advice. lets put it this way: Youre in your mid 20’s, fresh graduate, life seems to be dandy and you have high hopes… You work in some god forsaken place that you prolly dont give two shits about and you dont like it…You need the money… You keep working there…You get to are getting old… You get stuck at that job (you what i mean here)… You need the money even more.. You pass away. Let me remind you that your job takes most of time, its were you probably spend most of your time and if you are unhappy at your job you probably wont be such a happy person, or at least it would reflect on your personal life negatively.. So what the fuck are you still doing there?? ok Ill leave Mr.writer, Now what? well find something that you will like, doesnt matter if you are good at it, just find it.. work towards getting there! you probably heard this a million times.. but it is too short, yes folks one day you are gonna have to back up and get the fuck of this earth to make room.. so why waste it. I know life isnt all rainbows and green fields! but you gotta create that mindstate or at least die trying, it doesnt really matter how? (unless its illegal). life is not perfect and shit will happen but at the end of the day we must do what makes us happy, thats what money, family and everything we do, even taking a shit.. is to make us happy or delighted or satisfied whatever the case you have to pursue that.

Anyways , so lt me recap.. you graduated.. look for a career not a job and i am not referring to the abstract idea of a career, i am referring to the actual meaning of career, an occupation undertaken for a significant period of time, or to be realistic.. something you want to actually fucking do for the rest of you’re life by CHOICE..Start low, you must, get out if you dont like it, pursue another… reach the one that fulfills you and excel excel excel. Life is too short to sit idle..give it all you have.

P.S This is not meant to be some kind of bullshit motivational article, it is simply facing a little bit of reality, take it or leave it I honestly do not care.. but I hope it flashes some kind of light that says ” fuck, this makes a bit of sense” !
