Let me tell you a little story about a friend of mine.... Let's call him Mike. Mike went to college in the late 90s. He started out as a music major and quickly found that it wouldn't make him any money, so he started to switch over to another major... something to the effect of running a recording studio. Nearly two years into his college career, his mother got sick and the financial assistance dried up and he was forced to move back home.

For another two years he lived with his brother, father, mother, and mother's "friends". He worked for a music store making no more than $7.50 an hour.... not much, even for a no education sales job... One day he was talking things out with a family member and they suggested he try for a position with an insurance company doing something menial. He had no college degree.... He did that and got a job paying the same as his sales position. Most of his job consisted of pushing papers around and doing a little leg work in the office. The kind of thing a trained monkey can do.

It's two years later, he's making 11.00+ an hour, paying for an apartment, car, school, and he has a social life. He's happier than he's been in a really long time.

What are you supposed to learn from this story? Well, basically you just need to keep your mind open to new possibilities, and don't be affraid to try something new. Even if the new job doesn't seem like something you want to do, it just might be the one thing that is missing from your life that lets you do all the other things you want to do.

I hope my story helped. Good luck!
