    That feeling when you really want to pursue a creative career like acting, film or design but your country does not offer much opportunities for it and your parents want to shut down that dream
    (Don't get me wrong, I get their point of view but its really frustrating because I really don't want to end up as one of those zombie adults going through the motions of life every day because they just have to)

Thing is I get interested in a certain career then looking into it I think about how’s it’s probably not for me. I don’t wanna end up regretting doing something I dislike because I know it’s just wasting time.

      @@galaxygkm4696 Having a goal is actually more important than what the target actually is. I found each time I was grinding away towards reaching a goal, opportunities...or doors opened that ended up taking me down other paths. So don't stress about choosing the wrong goal. Pick something that you like and see what happens. I think too many people live in fear of making a mistake and therefore put off making choices....thereby missing some of those potential unopened doors!

In regards to this, i'm curious as to whether you think the way learning is conducted through VCE is an effective way to prepare us for a future that demands innovation and adaptability. Would be a cool video to watch as an advocate for modernising the education system. :)

    🚨PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE!!🚨 Ok so, I’m 15, I’m a sophomore, and I have NO CLUE what I want to do. I somewhat agree that money can’t buy happiness, but if I’m doing what I live and I don’t make good money, I won’t be very happy when I’m constantly stressing about money and not being able to pay bills. I just recently got into artsy stuff, I paint, I draw, and everyone says I’m good. You are your own worst judge but I just don’t think I’m good enough to do as a career. I have never taken art, but in taking it junior year maybe. I also had this idea that I would want to be an interior designer but I don’t even know how to begin that career cause there are no classes for it at my school. I’m not good at math so I can’t have a job that is centered around it.

    What a dilemma for young people. Exploring their world is the only thing that will bring them to a conclusion of sorts like you say! Living life within your own expectation without pressure or competition from others is living life. Competing with Joe blow for the biggest house and most expensive car is just ridiculous but if your house ends up bigger than Joes out of good fortune then so be it. If you’re dependent on others then you need to do what ever makes ends meet and allows you the freedom of independence! Dependency is worse than working 18 hours a day to ensure you have the biggest house in the neighbourhood!

    I like doing art, I want to make a cartoon. But in my country, art isn't really appreciated as much as the other countries do.
    So I started thinking of a more professional career, our family name has always been known for being professionals and being rich, and I dont want me to be the one ending that.
    I like Law, I love studying it and I like to analyze it. But its for REALLY smart people, I dont have that grades, I have average, so im doubting and I dont know which to choose.
    Business is my third option, I want to maybe sell snacks, have hotels and condos, start a fashion brand. But, entrepreneurship is already a class at my school, and I am very much not doing great about that subject.

    My problem is that i have so many paths to choose from, but i don't know which one...I could go to a high school for instruments or i could go to a high school for singing. I could also go to a high school for languages or art, or perhaps just go to that one high school for smarty pants. It's really overwhelming and for most of them, i have quite a bunch of time to think about, but with music it's totally different. You have to choose what you want to do (If you've got a choice with music like me) really, _really_ early. If you choose one of the music careers later, you're screwed. Some people still manage to get into the school, but with huge difficulties. I'm really stressed out and don't know what to do...Everyone says how i'm so talented with my instrument and how i should definetly do that, but i don't feel passionate about it... I love singing and have always imagined how i would become a singer when i was a kid. I also really love languages and art...It's so hard, because the one thing out of the whole list that i'm not passionate about, is also the thing people think i should do. That also leads us to another problem...There's so many things i'm passionate about and can imagine doing in the future, which makes it even harder to choose. I asked my mom for advice, but she keeps going on about the instrument and doesn't really listen to what i have to say. I don't have friends, so i don't actually have anyone to discuss this with

Is someone who’s living on the streets starving as happy as someone who has a successful career and a lot of my money? No. Is someone who’s constantly stressed on paying the bills has happy as some rich person? Nope. So where did this money doesn’t buy happiness thing come from?! Lmaoo

    • @vcestudyguidesonline
      @vcestudyguidesonline  5 лет назад +2

      What I mean is, money will buy you happiness to a certain extent. There's research to show that once you earn $70-80 AUD, your happiness levels do not grow in proportion to your earnings. This indicates that we need to find other ways to source our happiness. Rich people have problems too, they just have different problems - go do your readings, there's clear evidence on this. To believe that money is happiness in my opinion, is a very limited view that doesn't give credit to other aspects of our lives that can bring us value.
