why am I so indecisive

I mean fuck,it seems like every few months or even weeks I change my mind on what I want to do career wise, all changing between the same options but Ill go from wanting to enlist to wanting to be a cop to wanting to work corrections to private investigation.

what the fuck is my issue
 
I think it's perfectly normal.

I would choose A - become a cop - then work toward dectective, get a good pension and open your own PI shop.

But that's just me.

Corrections has more politcal BS than corporate.
 
that seems like the logical choice ,I think im just scared to make that leap out there and chance failing as stupid as it sounds
 
Not that stupid, fear of failure is a common thing out there. Fear of success is another common thing.

In my most non-gay voice "I believe in you, bro."

THey say it's a sign of high intelligence. I have the same problem. After 41 years, I finally have it all figured out. Should I go left or right? Forwards or backwards? This way or that way? Damn, if I choose this path, I'll realize all these benefits (maybe) but......... what if....... Ah fuck it! Just do it! LOL I still don't know shit bro, but I'll keep on trying. :)

If he becomes a cop, he's gonna see the dark side of humanity on a daily basis, not to mention not getting respect from the general public. I don't think I'd want to have to go to the scene of a traffic accident and see a dead mangled child. Most cops have mental problems as a result of their work. My heart goes out to them. Now, a better job would be being your personal assistant. ;)

Dude, you just have to log in here to see the dark side of humanity.
At least as a cop he'd get paid, have great hours, vacation and a sick pension.

Hell cops by me make upwards of 100K and many of them were the total losers of local society while they were growing up.

i think i over analyze shit thats my problem

ender,thanks dude
Anytime, bro.

Re the over analysis...how about thinking of it this way...you don't have to do <insert job here> forever...just a few years...
 
Rob, the smallest decisions used to cause me angst. As you get older, you narrow things down out of necessity to avoid going crazy. You only have so much energy to waste. I remember the constant struggle in my mind of trying to decide if I wanted to be big and massive or smaller and more cut. I would see saw back and forth and even used to question the value of my committment to working out so much that I couldn't enjoy it. I just accept who I am now and go with it the best I can.
 
why don't you ask your Dad? don't do corrections, that's for fucking meatheads. you want people tossing cups of piss at you?? wtf is your deal? i knew you were a piss-guzzler, but didn't know you loved the GS. that's Golden Shower, not George Spellberg.....j/k, maing. seriously, tho, don't get into corrections. you'll be quitting inside 3 months.

Preach on, assman. You lose the enjoyment and you've lost it all.

BTW, I'm going to call you ass man from now on after that pic from yesterday.


:worried:

If it helps, I didn't know either. I just flipped for one and picked this one.

But, there's always a thought in the back of my mind that I really could of made it in Hollywood.

Just do something. Think about it a little bit, then don't think to much. You Can Do It!
That's how I got where I am today. If I thought too much I would overanalyze(sp whatever).
 
Have you thought about finishing college? That's one of my biggest regrets. I have over 120 hrs but I don't have the degree. The degree doesn't mean shit to me unless I'm using it to open doors and make money at something that I enjoy doing. Finish that degree before you get married and have a child, after that, time flies and you may never get it done.

thanks guys
 
Bro, I'm alot like you. You're problem is probably the fear of the unknown. Atleast, that's mine. I'm afraid of what I dont know, I'm afraid of what might happen if I may fail. But ulitmately, you will never know the unknown unless you face it. It's the only way. You have to come to a point where you are ok with making mistakes and fucking up. Because that's how you learn and grow. It's gonna happen regardless of what you do. So, you just gotta take your chances and not look back. You'll be taking baby steps all the way there and may never get there...you need to start taking leaps of faith. This faith is derived from you and it's about you. This faith is, how much do you trust yourself, how well will you react to what happens later in life. If you cant trust you're gut instinct, no matter what you do, you will not make it far, end of story. Anyone who ever did anything big didnt do stuff without failing or taking risk. I'm not always one to talk because like I said, I too fear failing a great deal. But I mean, what else am I supposed to do? If I dont attempt it, then I'm certain to fail, and if I try but fall short, well then atleast I can have the peace of mind and condense and reevaluate my options in life.

good advice dude,thanks
 
I think he's a lot like me except I think I'm a little less wreckless with my body. I have never drank that much. Never smoked a cigarette in my life and never will. Only drug I've ever done is marijuana and black mollies a few times ( I don't count testosterone, it's not a drug). He's probably a better person than I am.
 
Some of us, who've either been given or earned the right to have every opportunity we'd ever dream of having in life right in front of us, end up lamenting the benefit of a decision to do any freaking job in the whole world. Maybe that's how you feel.

could be,all my options are there and id honestly be happy doing any of the jobs,just I look at the downside of each then change my mind
 
Out of the jobs you listed cop would be the first choice, and corrections would be below last. Like velvett said, there are a lot of benefits to being a cop, it can be a career. A corrections officer is just a job.
 
here corrections is above a cop pay and benifit wise,just a different kind of stress,we got corrections guys makin up to 100k with less than 3 yrs in and its common

Here it is the complete opposite. Corrections is low pay, and very high stress. The only ones who make decent in state and local corrections are the wardens, and maybe shift leaders. The only person I know who worked corrections hated it. When he got hired in they gave him around 10 changes of uniforms because the inmates would throw stuff on the guards. He spent a year working at the states largest prison and finally had enough. If you think cops need self control, corrections is 10 times worse.
 
ya I def believe that,IVe got family friends who use to work in it,they said it can be bad with stuff being thrown on you,but that depends if its a max prison or not,minimum or med isnt to bad

bro you only fail by not trying.

take the chance and do something you truly wanna do,.
 
Another thing about being a cop, it's about a 1/50 shot that you will get hired. I actually was hired for the city of Dallas and then failed the exit exam. The MMPI. I signed the papers to go to work for them and then failed that test. Best thing that ever happened to me. I can't imagine that life. I did it on a whim because A guy working part time security at work talked me into it. On the physical part of the exam, I blew all of the other applicants away naturally. My written score was in the top 5 out of over 100 applicants. I am not conceited either, just telling it like it is.
 
ya competition for police is really high,everyone wants to be a cop,but there is alot of garbage applicants with dreams and no shot,I know ive got a shot I passed the written for a city already but couldnt go any further due to stupid shit I did in college.

now ive grown out of the stupid days and want a career so we will see what direction it takes me. i think Ill just apply to all my options and go with what calls first, I know the army will snatch me up quick so I may hold off there to give the other options a shot,but we will see
