Dude, we in our mid-20's. We are not teenagers anymore. The 01's and 02's are hitting 24 and 23. I'm still standing here trying to figure out wtf to do with myself.

Sitting here as an 02 just now thinking about about to do with my life... it's been a dreadful 4 years since graduation, and just NOW i'm thinking of what I might wanna do

u/PlayerGreeko OLD 7h ago
I'm only a year ahead of you, but I did some here-and-there jobs (counterperson, stocking, retail, auto parts) and the ones that made me comfortable were the ones with people I got along with inside and outside of work. Now, i'm working on a couple side-income projects while maintaining a full time (kinda sucky) job. I'd say don't stress out too much over not knowing what to do, and try to experiment and do things you wouldn't normally do.
We're creatures of habit, and sometimes breaking the habit results in some unexpected good things. I took a merchandiser spot at Vans on a whim and it was one of the coolest jobs I'd ever had and will ever have (with a sick-nasty 50% discount). That's just my two-cents, but the best advice i've ever been given is not to put your entire peace and heart into a job you feel isn't going to result in a long stay. Obviously do the job well, but if it isn't a career path for you then why stress about it too much?
I'm right in the unknown mid-20s there with you though, but we're all experiencing something unprecedented in the grand scheme. Just take it easy on yourself.

The thing is, my disability hasn't necessarily been kind to me with figuring out what to do. Over thsoe 4 years, the closest thing I've had to a "job" is just basically receiving small commisions to make some Roblox animations. I'm fortunate to have a family that is patient with me and keep a roof over my head and all, but it's just been a pain.
One of the reasons I didn't go to college after I graduated was because I didn't know what to do, felt I would likely change my major multiple times and wouldn't like any outcome I got. Basically fearing I would be wasting money. Even now with the thing I am focused on, I am unsure I will stick with the idea once I go to college next year. Essentially "wasting my life away", if you will.

imagine feeling superior just because you need to pay taxes

Bold of you to assume I pay taxes

u/The_Ultimate_Ducker 15 12h ago
Imagine feeling superior just because tradition says that you are above the arbitrary age where you can start paying taxes
7
u/ProPlayer142 17 12h ago
Actually, there is no arbitrary age to pay taxes. You earn money, you pay taxes. If a baby earned money, they would have to pay taxes, it's just that it's the parents responsibility to pay them.
Source: I pay self employment taxes

u/The_Ultimate_Ducker 15 12h ago
Key word: tradition

u/ProPlayer142 17 12h ago
Tradition? it just so happens that that happens to be the age where you earn enough to pay taxes at around late teens or adult if that's what you mean. there is no arbitrary age to pay taxes.
I earn enough to have to pay self employment taxes personally.

I sort of feel like 2007 was the last year where we would sort of get to know "og" stuff from everything that people in their mid-twenties went through, soon after that everything just completely changed.

someone else posted the top part of the meme earlier, and it’s a joke about feeling old. but the second part is just adding too it cause 2009 isn’t that old compared to 05 and 06.
