Need Career Advice

[UTD Toker]

First of all, I know that a marijuana message forum is not the best place to ask for advice on how to plan forward the rest of my life, however my parents have offered me little help and I'd rather spend my free time blazin then talking to some college counselor :rasta:

I'm am very strong in mathematics and I have a natural talent of speaking and learning spanish very well.

I want to be some kind of engineer or buisness person that dresses in a suite everyday and travels all the time, as my childhood has not really given me the opportunity to explore the world, and seing how I am 19 and you only live once, I think the time has come lol.

Money is not the only important thing to me however getting at least a masters degree is essential to me. If you have any job/major recomendations I would be more than happy to listen to them.

Happy Toking

just a thought (ignore it if you want) but a real good first step is setting proper priorities...

a big example (one that i had to get in-line) is blazing. when you choose blazing over talking to a trained professional about something as important as your life's career, something is out of whack. there is nothing wrong with smoking weed. there is something wrong when it gets in the way of making positive, forward progress in life.

getting priorities straight (like work before play) will be a HUGE asset to you as you begin your jounrney into adulthood. some of it is stuff that you just have to figure out along the road, but somethings you can control now.

i would take a few hours out of my life to meet with a counselor or a person who is in a general type of career that you are interested in (international business from your post, i think). talking to someone who is in a field you might be interested in is always the best thing as they know the good and bad and in's and out's of it. if you don't like it then big deal, it was a couple hours. smoke when you get home! just an idea... GOOD LUCK THOUGH!

Thanks for the advice but I was kinda joking about the blazing part, I work part time and am a full time student as I set school first, then work, followed by weed or friends. I just kinda don't want to spend the time to actually talk to a pro. about it, as I have a REALLY tight schedule(Sp) as is. I was just wondering what occupation would fit my description thats all, but thanks anyway bro:thumbsup:

Another thing I forgot to mention is I am still a freshman in college, and I still have another good yr. to decide on what I should major in, I just don't want to spend 2 years of my life doing classes for something i'd end up regreding ya know?

haha cool man... i hear ya. sounds like you are prioritized.

if you are in undergraduate why don't you major in international business? it is super generic as far as the tools it equips you with, making it a good choice for just about any (non-specialized like Dr. or RN) career. your area of undergrad major is not super important anymore, as it just shows employers that you were disciplined enough to finish the degree. you more want to focus the area with your master's degree.
