[quote=Anonymous]8:22 here— Sorry, I hit submit too soon

I was going to say that instead of continuing to imagine yourself as the CEO of some hypothetical company, you need to look for a job that is a fit for the personality you already have and the skill sets you actually enjoy using right now, even if it is not as impressive as your imaginary CEO title.

You studied dance in school so apparently are somewhat artistic and athletic.  What did you like about dance?  what are you doing with your time when you’re not working for months in a row?  What are subjects that you know a lot about because learning about them is pleasurable to you?

Would you be interested in teaching dance or working at a dance studio? What about working for a company that makes and distributes dance supplies and costumes? Or teaching a dance-based workout class at a local gym?  Would you be interested in working with a nonprofit arts organization? Or working front of house at a theater so you could be around artists and see a lot of shows?

As for life goals:
Since your baseline is enough money to live off of, literally any money would be enough to make a better life for yourself.  Rent a cheap room with roommate for a year and work a job that pays literally anything and save all the money you earn and all the money you’d otherwise be spending on renting your own place.  In a year you have at least a modest down payment on buying an apartment or starter home.[/quote]
