There is that. > There’s more than one way to get into the field(s) that interest(s) you.Very wise. > And there’s more than one way to trigger music digitally ...That’s fair. But even still can you mosh to a DJ? I think not ;D > what work do you think there will be for mechanics?Gah. That’s true. Guess I’d be better off being a sparky or a programmer but me and angry pixes have never got along great. What I really want is to be given a bunch of tools and scrap and left alone to just *build shit*. But it’s damned hard to scratch a decent living out of it. I should side gig it, but then I’ve got to choose it over a new motorcycle and… That’s a hard choice. Bootstrapping a project rather than buying a bike has the possiblity of returning the money and letting me do both. But all the same its only a chance, which makes the bike the more practical option! > Or just become a cabbie.You know, that actually sounds pretty good. > You have to think around the problem and ask yourself how you could get paid to do it, not why you can’t.Very true. > At which point it dawned on me that I didn’t actually want to do what had convinced myself I did because, if I had, I’d’ve done itExactly! > those six years between school and uni were the most significant in my life ... they made success much easier to achieve afterwards (and I got to spend a lot of time as student before I finally had to 'grow up and get a proper job' too ; )Okay, so I have six years after this one you say… Since I’m already following in your footsteps oddly closely, may as well go whole hog! Nah, I’m kidding, I wouldn’t put a timer on something like that… I’d just go with the flow, much as I hate that phrase. Funny you should mention abroad. All things allowing, I should be out in the Alps this time next month. Only a temporary gig. This time. > in Life the test comes first and the learning afterwards.Oh man. That rings so damn true. I guess the important thing is to never stop learning. Hm…that was almost positive of me. Ick! ;P
