I don't absolutely HATE my job but I feel like I should be doin something much better - I have little to no idea as to what I want to do.
My most recent idea is to fill out applications to be an airline steward. THe pays not AMAZING but I get to travel and do what I like.

What are your goals?
What do you want to achieve in the next 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 5 years?
4 goals- give us an idea of what those are and we can help you figure out what it is you need to do to achieve those goals.

- I'm a SLOW learner - in
- I'm a SLOW learner - in pick up and almost everything except music
Finally started seeing more success in getting laid - then crashed a car, got sick and realized, "Holy fuck - I'm 24 and am working a job that a high schooler could get!"
.
in 3 months I would like to know where my skills lie and exactly what kind of a job I want and already have applications sent in. I want a job that pays at least somewhere around 30,000 a month. I'd like for there to be room for growth - as I know it may be relatively difficult to support a family with that much income A while ago this would have seemed like nothing - but from my history of jobs that I've be gotten after graduating - this would be pretty sweet. Also I'd like the oppurtunity to make people laugh for like 5 minutes - and to travel.
In 6 months I'd like to have gotten this job - be saving up money while living at home - and paying off my student loans (This is doable as I - only owe $15,000)
In 1 Year I'd like to have moved out and have my own place. My only real preference in terms of location is an active and exciting nightlife. The city would be awesome - There are also some places in Floridaor California or even Canada that wouldbe kickass. At this point I'd like to feel relatively secure in me keeping my job.
In 5 Years I'd like to be living comfortably making about 50,000$ or more a year in case I meet someone that I want to tie it down with - or so that I can comfortable continue pimping it until I do.

Really cool to hear that man-
Really cool to hear that man- nice writeup.
Those goals are absolutely manageable. Glad to hear you're thinking realistically- but we can get to this later (and maybe even chat on the phone about it a tad) but I would recommend you also create a separate list of goals that you can put as "Stretch Goals"- essentially, this is the list of goals that you may have, somewhere inside of you, that seem impossible for you to achieve. I'd love to see what you write down for those.
For your initial goal- I would recommend just sitting down and writing out what your personal qualities are- sit down and also write your resume- it wouldn't be too difficult for me to send you an outline of my resume (so you can see the proper format you want to use) use this as an opportunity to look at yourself and don't be afraid of your amazing qualities.
Also- there is nothing bad that can possibly come of applying to a company or job that you feel is COMPLETELY out of your reach. NOTHING bad can come of that. Just keep that in mind.
So that's that man- get started on that 3 month goal today.

I didn't write it up before
I didn't write it up before because it seems kinda silly but another big goal of mine is to have children who grow up in and are citizens of another country. If possible I would also like to become a citizen too. of I know it's ridiculous but as long as I'm being honest I may as well include that
ya dude - I'd love to see what your resume looks like - I can't give you much back except some experience coaching and my 100% effort. my email is [email protected]

Hey dude not sure if you're a big reader but a book that helped me massively is the education of millionaires. It covers the essential skills you need to do anything in life beyond the school version of education.
A cool perspective on career advice is given here as well:

The more I get into this the more I realize It's a huge area of territory to charter. It was so much easier driving around trying to get laid. At least I had a clear cut goal. Just focusing n the next step. THink I'll try for jobs on a cruise ship today. Any tips for how to beef uup my resume. My work experience is really just supermarkets, a gym, and Starbucks.

This is going to be really
This is going to be really general advice, but this is one of the most important habits I ever picked up: writing down 10 ideas a day, about anything.
It will definitely help you figure out what to do.
Would recommend everyone check out these two articles... it's from James Altucher, who's probably one of the sharpest dudes I know of.

http://www.jamesaltucher.com/2011/02/how-to-be-the-luckiest-guy-on-the-p...
Also: if you ever have kids, Brazil is a really good option. Any child born in Brazil automatically becomes a citizen, and parents can apply for naturalization.

good advice in this
good advice in this thread.
I just used BG's advice for my music, making goals accordingly including stretch goals. E.g 3months social media strategy in place with free 5 track EP. Stretch goal 300 likes, 300 follows etc
