I plan on getting my English degree, but I know I'm going to spend the rest of my life sweeping floors and scrubbing toilets.
I excel at creative jobs, but getting into those jobs require social connections I'm incapable of making.
Meh. Think I'll go get drunk now.
It's a bummer, that talent alone won't cut it in these fields.
That's partially why I gave up on my goals of a creative career aswell.
Pretty much.
Originally, I tried getting "practical jobs," so I could make decent money and work on my writing in my spare time. It all ended in disaster. You're lucky you're smart enough for medical school.
Now, I'm just getting my degree because I don't have any other ideas.
