Being the kid that has an idea/dream and plan to get actually do what they want in life. Though even knowing what you want to do in life, there is a high chance of being criticized about what you want to do. I do get this since I want to be a mechanic. People tend to state why I want to be a mechanic, simple I like cars, I grew up around cars, and I enjoy watching Motorsport. Also for people that act all smug because they drive a Toyota Prius it actually does more damage to the environment just to make one of those things than a 1950's Chevy pickup (I could get into this but I'll choose not to). However, what always follows up the why a mechanic confused look. It forces me to explain in detail that not only do I want to be a mechanic, I want to own my own business. It tends to make people shut up, but then they feel the need to ask where and throw the stupid question when you open up I hope you'll give me a discount. I mean I'll pay for the plane ticket since they're going to have to ship their car to Japan to get it repaired because that's where I want to live cause I'm honesty sick and tired of 'Merica.
It's a well thought out career choice with a bit of bat-shit craziness because someone who grew up in NY moving to Japan. It would be more logical in an outsider's perspective to stay local. But, NY is pretty much a piece of overrated shit state. It really is, since the MTA and most businesses try to siphon every dollar they can from you. I have a lot of reasons why I would and am going work and live in Japan. And the wanting to live in Japan was influenced by my cousin who lives in China, so when I heard he got married I though "why the hell can't I do that". If my cousin could do it, then I can and I'll make it as bat-shit crazy as I want. However, the thing about people questioning an stating that you're lazy because you haven't figured out what you want to do yet in life. Most people don't know what they want to for the rest of their lives, like a good 25 percent of people that go to the college I attend don't know what they want to do. Also, the people that complain or give you lip, probably are in all likeliness the people whose lives didn't turn out the way they wanted it to turn out and are butt hurt about it.
