You know whats great. A social life when you are done with school and have a good paying job and dont have to worry about homework and studying. Finish school now and focus on the social stuff later. Remember life is the longest thing we know.

I'm only 26 but some words of wisdom, live your life to the fullest and trying to make the world a better place. Start this by making your room your temple.  Buy bamboo, fill your room with positive images, encouraging, motivating you to be a better person.  Remember, everything you do is noted.  Law of the universe, 'what goes around, comes around.'   Maybe in this lifetime or another one.  Join any activity you enjoy and when you are able to help someone, do it.  When we give help to someone, it may not mean much to us, but it means the world to them.  Make at least 5 people smile a day.  Ok, I'll stop rambling now!  Be the Best you can be!

I dont know if your going to take my words to be done or not, well at least think of then a little, in your case no need to have a work social life, in all cases and normal cases people should separate between personal live and working life, and that will be to avoid problems as much as you can, you should leave ur home life at home when you go to work, and leave your working life at work when you go home, if you dont like having freinds at work then you can give any excuse like sorry I have work to do, or I work evenings, or anything like this way, thats from a side, from another side you can find some work while your home, like internet works, or maybe to creat your own work and after that to make your own company by days..

When you look back in history, you will find that people who share your disposition were generally on their own to pave their own road.  I, personally, think that is one thing that has not changed at all.  Not until there's a different foundation under our feet.\n\nI would recommend to you that you formulate long-term goals for yourself and then shorter ones to get you there.\n\nReally focus in on a couple of your ideas, keep the journal alive, but really set out to bring a few of them to life.\n\nSince you dropped out of college, it may not make sense for you to go back in and get your degree just to climb the ladder and all that nonsense to try to get to where you want to be.  It sounds like you create your own education for yourself, which is all you could really aspire to Learn in college or high school anyway.\n\nSorry, I'm thinking outloud, but I think you should go Further Into whatever it is you're doing; don't worry about jobs and careers that much, because if you get focused and devote yourself, your job will follow and you'll be well into your career.\n\nRemember your Conscience and good luck making the World the best place you can.

I've personally always known that I want my own business from being very young, which is why i'm in a crappy position at the moment after uni to decide what i want to do in the meantime to get the funds to set up my business...i want to be my own boss and not be told what to do and have to hold myself back.\n\nGood for you and good luck if that's what you decide to do.

Well if you're 15 then you still have the rest of your life ahead of you and believe me, there will be more than enough opportunities to get to do the things you want.\n\nI would like to say that in this world there are all kinds of people though I still admire those most who have seen real life and real situations and understand life better than most today. So if you've had rough times then take it as a blessing in disguise.\n\nFurther, I understand that you're craving for certain things you wish you would have. Well, here I would like to say that you're quite young to get into serious relationships right now. I would suggest that right now you get to make friends and enjoy those friendships. Believe it or not, relationships too have their own share of complications and right now you already have enough to think about. When the time is right, you’ll have your fair share at relationships too.\n\nIn the given time you should concentrate on your career and studies. Give it ‘top priority’ right now and I can only assure you that you would never regret your decision later.\n\nIt's you who has to help you, so decide wisely. Don't be hasty and follow everyone else. Learn to enjoy and make the most of what you have at the right time and that way you'll really cherish whatever life offers you.\n\nHope you'll be strong enough to make the right decisions and make the most of what you've got. \n\nIf you're determined, then for you the sky's the limit. All you have to do is think wisely and be persevering to accomplish your goals in life.\n\nWish you all the very best.\n\nTake care.

your career doesn't define who you are.  maybe who you are is restless.  working and careers aren't for everyone, although society places a high priority on them, especially for a 40 yr old.  Try to figure out who you are in other ways, meaning hobbies and what you have to offer to the world

Ed you are only 24, sorry to say that's not that's old people change their careers all the time some after more than 24 years in that said career. If you don't feel like starting over in a new career, then are you really ready for a new career?\n\nI always suggest finding a career counselor, in your area, and they can help you search out were your interest may lie. Often times there are many more opporunities than you ever imagine. Good luck!!

You are controlling your life.  Deciding to go with the flow is your own decision. Even doing nothing about a situation is making a decision (to do nothing).  Don't be so hard with yourself.  I was well over 30 before I decided what I wanted to do.  Stick it out if you can.  At least with that subject you will learn alot about yourself (and therefore others).  If you can't stick it out then leave, and when you do learn what it is that makes your heart sing - go for it, get the qualification then - like I did.\nGood luck

Behave yourselvs at work and carry on with work as usual.  Romance out of the premises.  I did that and kept a secret for 2 years, people just thought we were friends.

A good way is to see what other people are doing, and try to do the same thing. New jobs can be hard. Keep trying and you should do fine.

i think like that sometimes, im 25 and just split up with the man of my dreams and best friend. we were engaged and i thought that was it for me happy ever after, but it dont always work like that. maybe one day i just dream these days and it hurts but i got my lil girl and we do lots of things together and beilieve it or not it is a bonus being able do what you want. if your early 20's and no kids get out with the girls enjoy yourself first. i missed out on all that and it still didnt get me happily married. i do have a beautiful daughter though that i wouldent swap for the world. im going for a career in nursing so that should keep me busy. stop looking thats what im gonna do. good luck chick.x

go for it, young lady!\n\nnothing wrong at all with keeping your options open.\n\nIn fact, until you are finished with your education and have your career going, normally around the age of 25, you shouldn't even be in a committed relationship, but should be dating different guys... ideally as many as you can manage, and as many as are dumb enough to buy you expensive gifts, vacations, and dinner dates at expensive restaurants.\n\nmore power to you!

I think at your age you have the greatest capacity to love...friends, family and others.\n\nI think you are reaching out.  I think you should learn that love alone does not make the world around us.   It is work, education, taking care of yourself, and getting down to looking inside.  What do you want to do with your life?\n\nAre you willing to throw away your future - education and all for anyone else....do you look at the people on tv...they try it because they are stars...and it never works!  Do you get it?  Do you know that you are the most important person in the world?  You must develop what you want as a career, as to education, as to travel and as to spiritual development.\n\nIt's not about him at all.   It's about you.  Take the time to make a list of all that you want out of life....and then list what you don't want and don't like about life.   Now get to work on where you want to be in 10 years....making what money, doing what, with what education....How are you going to get there?\n\nMay GOD bless all of your dreams.

That's good advice about the balance work with family...\n\nI'd add that many people depend on their employer to promote them and give them raises to make it seem like their career is advancing.  That's a mistake in this day and age.\n\nFigure out who you are first; what makes you happy; what kind of lifestyle you want to have, what makes you feel alive.\n\nPick a career path that challenges you and excites you, not necessarily what everyone else seems to want.\n\nFind out what the market demands and make sure that you stay on those trends.  That way, you'll either be in the most demand by your employer, or else another employer will always want you.

Frizzle has it - If you want to do well - your social life has to be put on hold.  Give yourself the occasional day off, but don't expect to keep your partying weekends and make sure your friends understand you will be out of circulation for a while!  Sad advice but true!

I see nothing wrong with that. It's great to have friends or buddies at work. I hang out with my co workers outside of work often. We have different parties and we go out to eat (just us girls) and have some drinks. Go with it. Have fun and good luck.....SAM
