Hey to everyone from Toronto!!
I won't make this long, but i am basically getting fed up with where I'm going in life. Im in my 4th year of university, have a full time job in my field and I am just not feeling it. For the past 4 years I though I would always become some Project Manager, or IT Systems Analyst, but after getting my current job in IT for a big firm I just feel that this isn't for me. IT is great but at the end of the day, a job is a job.
Getting up every morning to get on the cattle train and take a trip to the slaughterhouse is brutal. Has nothing to do with the pay, the pay is great, but having to wake up to an alarm clock, work 9-5 and do meaningless work is not what i envision the rest of my life to be like. Dont get me wrong, i have nothing wrong with waking up to an alarm clock or working long hours, but if i do, it'll sure as hell be on my terms and I'll come and go as i please.
I do not know what i will be doing yet so im currently researching and reading as much as i can. Besides this awesome book, which im still reading, I have read 'Think and Grow Rich', 'Twelve Pillars of Success', 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' and am also currently reading 'How Will You Measure Your Life?'. Always open to more suggestions.
At this point all i know is that I want to be in charge of what i do. Even if i make less money than working a salary job, i will have pride knowing i made this and built this.
