Is it too late for me? Career/social life advice needed...
First things first, a couple things about myself. I'm 22, never had a job, very overweight, and generally I'm a lazy slob and I want to change that.
Basically I haven't done anything since graduating high school three years ago this summer 12 and I want to get off my ass and get a career so I won't end up living in the streets when I'm 40. I want to become a wrestler (naturally) for the WWE (unrealistic, I know) but if that doesn't pull through I want to have a backup career. I've been thinking of going to Lance Storm's training academy and once graduating there, going to Booker T's training academy and once done with that, applying for FCW and hopefully making it to the big WWE. That sounds extremely unrealistic and I know I'm reaching for the stars but that's what my plan is.
I've been thinking of becoming a registered nurse or an accountant but my dream career (besides being a wrestler) is to work in the gaming industry. However, I don't want to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars at schools like Full Sail or Art Institutes. I will just end up in debt if I tried to go to those schools. Is it likely to end up working at a good gaming stuido (like Rocksteady, Rockstar, or Ubisoft) by just studying game art or whatever at local colleges? Eh, I'm just confused with that. Also, isn't the gaming industry really competitive?
What are some good money-making careers that aren't really competitive but easy to get a job in?
Soon I'm going into the military (once I get in shape) and use their GI Bill/Kicker so I can get some good assistance while I get my schooling underway.
Here's my top career goals from most favorite to least:
-- Wrestler
-- Military (MOS I can use in the civilian world)
-- Game Industry (artist, designer, programmer) [wrestling fallback]
-- Nursing/Accountant [gaming fallback]
I really need help with my social life too. I don't have any friends, at all. How can I meet some new people? How can I be interesting to people? How can I people want to be around me? What do girls like in a guy?
