why is everybody so obsessed with having a run-of-the-mill career? whats the accomplishment at the end of your life? you lived a life everybody else couldve lived, totally interchangeable. totally pointless. and all for getting social approval, or at the least no social condemnation.
theres nothing wrong with doing work that everybody else could do, quite the contrary - but getting obsessed with it, and making it your sole reason to exist, your purpose in life, is just unthought-through. pretty retarded. all it does, in the end, is making somebody else rich - except for the unlikely case you win the lottery in our current state of absolute casino capitalism.

go find your space, what /you/ are good in, what gives /you/ fulfillment. keep your retail job, or find a job with same salary and less work hours, live this normal life so you dont get into debts, and then do your own thing in your free time. in my opinion, only painting /one/ picture you are truly proud of is worth more than 40 years of a shitty career. there are only two good options currently: life as an artist, or life as a criminal. chose wisely, your time here is limited. the man who goes into the desert, and digs a cave for 30 years, with ornaments on the walls, will have lived a better life than the typical instagram normie. fight acedia, fight your desires, go read some deleuze, tiqqun

try to build the discipline to build skills yourself, dont depend on institutions so much. you can learn a language perfectly without a school (try to learn ONE language per-fect-ly, without understanding at least one language 100% you can't even understand your own thoughts...) , you can learn everything about anatomy without paying for a school, you can read the whole history of philosophy on yourself - its harder but also more rewarding. dont fall for the certificate meme. just do it yourself.

tl;dr: dont be a normie
