[quote=Anonymous]A few cousins on both sides of my family:

One dropped out of U Texas Austin after getting injured while on a basketball scholarship.  He worked at gyms for a while, but ODed on heroin in his late 20s.  Apparently his addiction stemmed from the pain relievers he received from the basketball injury.

Another cousin dropped out and moved to Alaska.  He works on float planes in the summer, has a show on the local NPR station, and paints watercolor landscapes for cruise ship tourists.  He mostly makes enough to live on, but often bums financial support from girlfriends.  He seems happy enough, but it's a non-traditional life.  He's now late 30s.

Another cousin dropped out and was a professional wedding videographer for a while, working on celebrity weddings in LA.  He was very good at it and his parents hoped he'd save up and start his own company.  He wasn't that ambitious and ended up quitting that job.  He ended up moving into medical marijuana.  He makes enough to survive, but spends most of it on drugs.  He's in his 40s.

My other cousin recently dropped out and she is making a living as an Instagram influencer.  She takes scantily clad bikini photos and posts them, as well as hocking diet drinks and pills.  I dont know how much she makes, but she still lives with her parents.  I suspect she'll marry a slightly creepy rich older man and live a posh life as a socialite in Ft Lauderdale.[/quote]
