Hi!
I'm a 19 years old college student, or at least was until a few days back. I dropped out for this year, since I thought I haven't chose the right education and will be going to a different one next year. The one I chose would really require 100% dedication. Especially since I'm not the engineering type of guy I would require extra hours of hard work. Our college is free as long as you don't fail 2 times. So no harm done this year.
I come from Slovenia. Our standars are pretty low considered to other parts of EU. Average yearly income is about 12k€, as a working student I probably wouldn't make more than 800€/month (considering I'd have a nice job and would be able to work 8 hours a day).
The next thing is that getting a job is not as easy, especially if you don't have any kind of previous experiences.
I also have my own, bigger plans, but working every day until 1, 3, 5pm would still leave me enough time to work on that. I don't have a girlfriend or anything, lol *cries*.
I don't want to be one of those kids who just sits at home doing nothing, living with their parents until their 30s.
I have a plan about playing poker for a side or maybe full income. Many might think it's gambling and a game of pure luck, but they are wrong. Sure there is luck involved, but it's not like blackjack or any other casino games where the odds are against you from the start. I'm still playing the smaller stakes, and I'm one of those bad players who play very little when they are playing well (and then procrastinate), and a lot when losing, which leads to bad plays, which leads to even bigger losses (which is what happend today). I think I have the skills to beat the small stakes, only need more discipline.
You still have to lose from time to time. Even the best players in poker don't always win. if the bad players would never win, then they wouldn't play. But it still fells bad losing.
I also tried some software, website development and 3D modeling, but coding and art really isn't my strength. Although I am a computer guy, coding is really too much for me. I get lost so fast at the beginning and when I see some of the codes for finished software I just kind of lose interest. And about art..well, my skill level is and always was very low.
I do enjoy sound (music) production, but my computer is not really good enough to run any of that software. I will definetely buy a better one, when finances allow it.
Anyway, sorry for the long post. Today after my poker game went pretty bad, I lost internet connection for a couple of hours (thanks to our shitty provider) and started feeling kind of useless. I thought I would get some sleep for a couple of hours and it would pass, but it hasn't really. It was the first thing that came to my mind when I woke up.
I think I'll start reading The Millionare Fastlane book, since I've read some good reviews about it on the forum.
Thanks for reading
