does your career reflect your life?

what the **** is wrong with you? Your ******* 20 you have a HUUUUGE life ahead of you. Stop acting like your life is depressing your young, that itself answers your question. you dont know where your headed in life because your YOUNG, i read somewhere how people ages 20 to 25 are the people who least know where theyre headed in life. and you are in that phase.but dont let that be a reson for you not knowing where you want to go in life because when you make that a reason you fall back on it and you shouldnt there is actually absolutly NO REASON for you to be feeling this way, because EVERY SINGLE person on his mother ******* earth who has a soul, and has abit of loove and drive to be successful in life will know that to be successful you need to work hhard and put time and thought into what you want to be. but seriously you can never find out who you are in life, just who you want to be, and this person that you want to be isnt going to be an ACTUAL person that you know, just a lifestyle that would make you happy.. what do you enjoy doing in life? follow that and make sure you go out and MAKE friends, and have fun in life. life isnt there to torture you alright? if you think it is thats bullshit. btw its only YOU who determines what happens in your life try doing things alittle different on some days try new things out, find something worth living for. read books that intrest you, put effort into designing your life so that only the good things in life and good people who love you in life are there for you rather then the bad things and bad people good luck!

Wow. That's quite a question!

My answer to your question in the title is "No, my life has reflected my careers."

First, I must commend you for your level head and survival skills. Second, I must ask you to be kind to yourself.

Because I have a background in theatre, I suggest you pursue that interest, and I'm confident that the others will follow along with you and fill in as needed from time to time.An AA will qualify you for more jobs than just your high school diploma would, and you'll be able to support yourself. I don't know where you live, but many people I knew in grad school are making a living in theatre, either on stage or backstage ... some in education, most not. A few have another 9-5 job to support their theatre habit.

Working in any kind of theatre doing anything at all will consume your life and eat every spare moment. All your friends will be living the life. You'll eat there (when there's time), and sleep there occasionally.

I believe that's the perfect life. But that's me.

When I was in grad school, one very fine actor in the department was named Tom L. He was unusual because he was a frat guy, and we all gave him a hard time about it. He won many acting awards and I'm sure he's still acting today. I imagine you as another Tom.... doing everything you can in the theatre, and then going home to whatever life you've chosen, whether it's similar to the lives of your actor friends or not.

Geez, now I feel like a pusher! LOL I guess I could've been pushing something worse.

Break a leg! :)

Is it true that technical degrees are better than non-technical ones?

We Answered:

There's an old saying: "Don't put all you eggs in one basket." And I think it pertains to your education as well as anything. I have known too many young people who have wasted three years in specialized studies. All they could see were the dollar signs in front of their eyes. But when the realities of their field of study dawns on them, many find out that it really isn't what they really want to do for the rest of their lives. By then, it's too late. You have to finish your MBA or whatever and when you find a job, you are probably going to miserable in that field. My advice has always been to take the liberal arts courses for the first two years until you can zero in on what you really want to do. At this point you can always switch majors and earn any extra credits you need to catch up to a specialized degree. The benefits also accrue to the fact that your mind has been expanded beyond what the average specialized degree seeker has a chance to experience. I once knew a guy with a Master's degree in computer science. We got to talking about pickles and as a joke I asked him where pickles come from. Without blinking he answered, "from pickle bushes." Now I'd say that fellow was living in his own world of technology and hadn't a clue about what went outside his specialty. In fact, I know many business people who would prefer to hire a liberal arts grad because they have a broader understanding of life and can adapt to the job faster than say, an electrical engineer who feels uncomfortable in anything outside his specialty.

Now, if you are a person who really has the desire to open his own business in a particular field, that's a different story. Then I'd say go for the specialized field, work a few years as an "apprentice" to learn the ropes, and then open your own business.

Is there a way to combine chemistry and maybe biology with psychology?

We Answered:

Look at evolutionary psychology and neurobiology, it sounds like you might be interested.

If you don't want to become a professional at something that interests you, you can be a researcher and/or teacher. Why not prove or disprove your theory that not all problems are biological, you can improve many people's knowledge on the field. You can also use psychology in nearly every other field of study or path you want to take in life. So why not just learn something because it interests you?
