What type of mindset should a college person have in choosing a career/major? Should you choose something that offers the best chance of being successful, or be honest and enthusiastic and choose something you enjoy doing?

I had a hard time in the beginning. My parents wanted me to exploit my business-nature, I wanted to pursue psychology and philosophy. Down the road it became ironic, that I of all people to ever come into existence, I - the preacher of the will, the radical and chaotic will, should kneel before the wishes of others. And what wishes! "Practical" wishes. "Everyone needs a living." It took a single hour of reflection, and I realized how wretched I am for even considering what my parents had in mind. Not all of us have "living" at the forefront of their every thought and consideration. Rather some of us care about...life. What matters mere living?

In present, if one would visit my university, one can find me to be one of the happiest students, doing what I am made to do: psychology and philosophy. Oh yes, I have a double major! I couldn't do otherwise...

What should someone else do? Further more...who cares? The weak will be weak, whether they pursue what they want or the want of someone else. It changes them not even in the slightest sense. I came to my senses because I came into my senses, even under pressure. If others can’t do it, maybe they should not do it, these weaklings…

For the past few months, I ceased giving advice, of course, as it is always the pathetic that needs it...

The human paradigm is the compilation of weaknesses all interacting upon each other, vieing to control the body to deal in one way or another. The strong have found how to defeat or totally ignore these whims of the psyche, never falling into the grasp of indecition to the most simple of things you find some of the weak driveling over.

Pray askance upon your failing soul for the career decicion you make. Don't make the same mistake I made some time back and become a farmer. Explore the realms of possibility inside your mind until you find that which makes you both happy and gives you the money, freedom, and/or support you want; besides, if your not happy with your job, you can just go ahead and try hanging yourself by the barn like I tried.

I'd actually say:

Find something you're interested in - then find something that it's most useful in - and finally - determine if you could do that - almost every day for the rest of your life...

Some things do get old... unless you make them interesting...

Like watchmaking. No two watches come in with the same problems. Sometimes the battery is just dead, and needs replacing, or the hairspring has become tangled when debree has gotten loose inside the watch.

Every once in a while some guy comes in with a rusted out watch, and I get to take a complete one out of my stash to trade it out... for a price of course... ;)
