I'm not essentially a "dutiful slave to the system" but I can't see a way out of that, especially now that I've started down that road, and you can lose out by withdrawing - like if I sold the flat and went travelling, all my stuff would need to be in expensive storage, and then if I wanted to come back I'd have less money to put towards a home. I dunno, that sounds hella lame to me but y'know... I don't like that "meant" thing though... What about this stuff people? Am I just being lame? Too sensible for my own good? Hmmm? Well JH. Each man to their own and whatever flats your boat is all good. If anything too sensible you got to go a little crazy every now and then. You got a nice flat you could rent for a year which would cover everything incuding the storage. I know it may not be something you wanted to do having peeps in your house but its an option..............................as I say its a big world out there mate

I don't think you're being too lame jh - is hard for me to see a way out of the system I am now a part of. But with these other guys talking about this, I think it's the encouragement I need to think about it more seriously. I too am worried about ditching everything and worrying about the dream not working out, and like Arnie, I don't want to die without seeing what the world has to offer. C'mon guys let's do this! ;D There is always a way out Billy never forget that. As I said a little balls and a little money. Anything can be done by everyone if they put their mind to it. Plus remember if it does not work out you can always come back and at least you can say you gave it a go.

In a word Jules, 'Yes' but it's a good thing. You might want to let go every now and then though, let the funk flow through really. Cheers man, you know I'm not wrapped too tight really, it's just if I didn't mention these things I'd think I was being irresponsible! I sometimes think too hard, but that's got its benefits too

The most important thing is your happiness and if your not happy you need to do something about it and you can, it's down to you changing things.

I know it may not be something you wanted to do having peeps in your house but its an option..............................as I say its a big world out there mate Now THAT is a good point. There's some things I'd need to take out of there if I was gonna rent it, but it would cover the mortgage payments and give me a little leeway. Cheers for that fella. I still need to think about the whole profession thing and my career, but fuck me it's not all it's cracked up to be anyways...! *brain starts to crank it up a notch...*

Might be worth investigating. I know they used to do it in the bank. That way you can do it and be safe in the knowledge your career is just on hold.

Lucas, why not speak to a careers advisor about starting a career in photography? They'll give you some hints and tips, and might even be able to give you some contacts. You know what, I actually have, job companies, everything but they come up with nothing, it's an incrediblly difficult line of work to get into. I've planned to go to New Zealand for a month, come back with some amazing pictures to add to my portfolio and show them to as many people as I can to try and sell them, or even get hired if I'm lucky. It's hard all this but I've got time on my side, the past few months I've been spending all my money on photoghraphy equipment a good couple of thousand pounds (still more I plan to buy), next project is saving up to go travelling. . . .

Happiness. Contentment. First one not sure, second one - mostly. But contentment ain't necessarily enough, if you've got an ambition then you'll drive yourself to do things. I currently don't have one of those, but I'm working on it, y'know!

Deals can be done, that's for sure... not sure I've been here long enough but you've a point there too.

Somewhere far away from all the shit that we see day in day out. A little bar/restaurant on a beach somehwere in SE Asia away from the crowds. Could get up in the morning, go for a swim in the sea, cook brekky, go fishing for a couple of hours and then sell them in the restuarant in the evening. No hassle, no fuss. Nice. Well let's all club together and do it then? ?!!!!! You're welcome to join Nekopia once it's been established ;D

So... in the mean time, any more next job ideas? Remember when I came up with that thread where I said I wanted to be a DJ for a funk radio station? I'd be great at that, would love it too, you could all listen to me, any idea how to turn that into a reality?

You're welcome to join Nekopia once it's been established ;D Funkadelica, you can come too Neko!!! ;D I'm afraid Nekopia is my dream, but since it's gonna be a fully established society, it's gonna need places for people to calm down after work. Nightclubs, for instance. Which need DJs. See where I'm going with this?

I do ;D lets get this show on the road then Neko. Good idea Lucky, but I don't know if they'd let me play pure uncut funk that no body's heard of.....? I might look into it though.

Hospital radio is unlikely, but I play a lot of heavy metal on my show. Unless it's got swearing or is offensive, you'll be fine.
