Pursue Dream vs More Income
Fellow Londoner about to enter the job market here
What do you do?
I listen to Moloko and google your book and what I find. I have a melancholic feel. You might be interesting to talk to. What do you say?
(OP)
Why do you not follow your own thread?
Doesn't make much sense to compare, a good software development may make 60k€ and on top of that taxed to 50% in Germany, and a similar job may make 120k$ in the US, and both those guys would say they're doing good.
the grass is always greener. if you're comfortable where you are, why fuck with your career? just have some fun. seems like you want to enjoy some of the life you worked hard to enjoy. i think you should write. won't hurt anyone, especially not yourself. if it's ultimately unsatisfying, just consider your options again in a couple of years. good luck my man. catch you on the flipside.
here. Sure, I'll talk to just about anyone for a while.
>'give writing a go'
>or get education
That's not an 'either or' decision and the fact you would even ask means you have low self-esteem. It's the people who want validation the most that expect things to work out right away.
I started writing four months ago at 29, anyone can do it at anytime and there are no guarantees of anything, nor should their be.
Everyone should never depend on writing as a viable career choice. It's just doesn't make sense, even people who write for fun and are very successful barely get enough to support themselves.
The best writers I've know who sold a lot of copies of their work are people who are already hard workers in another field. One was a lawyer, one still works IT, it's the same for most writers.
If you're dedicated you can do both.
Godspeed, user
Fuck you. That male nurse will heal you up when your health is in danger so yoy can continue shitposting again.
OP I dont want to discourage you from your dreams, but you shouldn't be a writer. Just write in your spare time until you got a book together.
I not in the medical field or anything, but we need more heroes like you.
Society may not think so, but nurses and doctors are the most noblest proffesion. My mom is a nurse and I have been to the hospital more then enough times to know what great work you peeps are doing. You are involved in saving lives.
I wanted to study medicine and actually help peple, but I am retarded so I did computer science and became a programmer instead.
If you had any other job I would tell you to take big risks and go all for writing.
I also became a nurse after throwing my dreams to the wind.
I love it though, think it was right for me.
You have a wife and kid to consider you selfish faggot. Write for ten years then try to get published
