Hello, all. I could not find a better place to post this inquiry.
I am currently 16 years of age and am starting to be pressured into applying to colleges, applying for jobs, and the works. I am a very friendly person, and as such, made friends with many of my teachers. In deep conversations, most of them have told me not to work my butt off while I'm young because I can work the rest of my life. I'm scared of becoming another mindless rat in the rat race that is the cycle of job/debt/taxes/repeat. My family calls it "the grind". I am worried about joining this grind. I have no plans for life. I wake up, go to school, ride my bike around town, sleep, and repeat, generally. I am not good at many things. I have tried woodworking, baking, and anything in between that's available to me. I have no talents and do not want to join the rat race, but I know if I did, I would save all my money because I have nothing to spend it on. Can anyone with experience, or perhaps just some advice, give me some tips, hints, or advice about this meaningless cycle, and possibly how to dodge it, if possible?
