I’m having a crisis in my 30s. I skipped college and left home after I had enough money saved up to travel and “squat the planet”. I was inspired by oogs and eat pray love prostitutes to skip college, a career, and settling down to start a family.
I’m now in my 30s and the only thing on my resume/cv consists of running hostels, bars, and tours along with several years gaps.
What the hell is left for me? Do I go back home(ny)? Start college 15 years late? Keep traveling and hope I actually settle somewhere?
I feel like every one I met on the road has always had something to go back to back home. I haven’t met someone like me who has quite literally nothing going on.
Was all the sex, good friends and wild experiences worth it?
oh its this bait thread again
If you met me in real life you wouldn’t think I’d make some cringy thread like this but now it’s killing me inside having no direction.
I just wanna hear from someone who has been where I am before.
I went to trade school at 30 cause I had a similar 20's as you. Welder now, money is decent, it's quite quick to move up in trades, especially if you have a functioning brain. Might just want to take an intro course at community college to some trade like HVAC, plumbing, electrical etc.
helps if you live at home
Now imagine doing this "wandering the globe with no place to return to" bit for 9 years, but 95% of the time without any sex, good friends or wild experiences. Just eating, sleeping and moving around. That's my traveling life, LMAO.
Chances are if you are unhappy with your life and have failed to make any meaningful connections, you are going to be unhappy and isolated no matter what direction you choose. Might as well learn to live with yourself, buddy.
I'd imagine anybody living the world traveler lifestyle would have gotten bored and sick and tired of it after 2 years, maybe 3 or 4 if they REALLY love it for some reason. How the hell you managed to do it for 15?
Either way you're fricked, nobody not even mid 30s hags from your home country would want you.
Only option for u is to get yourself a young wife from the third world
This meme is overblown. Westerners are oversocialized overstimulated psychological messes. "having something going on" means going to New York corner pubs with people you dont like and taking selfies with your 30 dollar beer.
People are just trying, and mistly unsuccessful, at getting laid. Very few people have real friends.
Most of the "trad" people are dealing with med addictions and the progressives are catching aids and cutting their dicks off.
This isnt the 90s anymore. People arent healthy and happy. Theyre fat, ugly, probably dont have a job, and if they do, they still dont have enough money to get married ir buy a house. And if they do have a house, "youths" are threatening to kill them daily
You sound genuinely miserable to be around dude. This all speaks like personal cope.
Are people not hideously obese and cutting their dicks off? Please show me what part of the west this is, thanks
Just go outside bro. I promise life isn't bad away from your computer.
>>"having something going on"means going to new york corner pubs with people you dont like and taking selfies with your 30 dollar beer
For anyone outside of new york, that's not true, thank the lord and woman here would ever be with a man so effeminate
Im just like this but I found a way to thrive, but it takes a lot of pain and learning to live with yourself.
>and the only thing on my resume/cv consists of running hostels, bars, and tours
pretty much means you're stuck getting into hospitality management, maybe property management.
>along with several years gaps.
employers dont care about this anymore. they struggle to get anyone to apply, let alone actually stay longer than 3 months in the current job market
>What the hell is left for me?
make money on internet
You could always make a convincing fake website and say you owned a business during the giant gap on your resume. Watch that episode of Seinfeld where George claims to be a latex salesman for Vandelay Industries. You could be a Latex guy.
If you was 20 again and decided to become remote job carrercell instead you would feel as a loser anyway. You can't really win in this life there's always regret
