Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to respond to my post!! I didn't think I'd get this many responses this quickly!

I was really happy to see no one said I should just quit smoking... then again on a site called cannabis.com I don't think I really expected anyone to, lol. I've read and reread every post that you all responded with and have gathered that its pretty much okay to feel the way I do right now? A couple people mentioned going back to school to at least see what I would like to do with my life and when its put in that context I really really like the idea of going back to school.

I suppose I was thinking I had to choices in life...

1) feel good
2) have lots of $$$

Now after reading everyone's replies I'm seeing a possibly third option which is simply combining options one and two together... I think it would be fair to say though if you're going to accomplish both it's going to take a bit of luck AND hard work. thcbongman mentioned how going straight into the work force has its advantages but without a breathe of luck you may end up at a dead end.

So am I correct to believe that enrolling back into college and just focusing on the NOW portion of my life as opposed to worrying about graduating "on time with society" then things should fall into place on their own? I would like to believe that idea and am certainly up to the challenge but fear I may find myself here again 4 years from now asking the exact same question... only with a degree in hand.

Perhaps the next person I should be talking to is a career counselor?

JohnnyZ I agree completely with what you stated... I just don't want to be working at the same restaurant 10 years from now ya know? I can honestly say that when I try to think of a career choice that would allow me to support a family AND not have to worry about piss tests I come up blank =( And that's where my real fear kicks in.

Thanks again everyone for your responses!! Any further advice is most certainly welcomed and appreciated!!
ranjas75 Reviewed by ranjas75 on . Job market for smokers? Alright, my concern is simple and hopefully common... I'm concerned if I never stop smoking then I'll never land myself a good career... To some people a high paying career is of little concern but to me getting the things I want later in life require money. Now, I would like to state that since I started smoking I have had ZERO depression breakdowns in the last 2 years... This was something I struggled with immensely prior to smoking... Aside from that I also like the affects weed has on me Rating: 5
