Life is a funny thing. And not "Haha, that stupid cat video is so dumb" kind of funny.
I guess what I really want to say is simple. This whole life thing is a  crap shoot. The majority of it is just getting through to the next day.  Persistence. Not because it wins the prize, but because you don't have  any other option.
I mean, I look around me and I see a sea of people. And although I don't  necessarily have all my ducks in a row, the older I get the more I  realize that no one really knows what the heck they are doing. Some have  a bit more direction than others, but no one has a sure future. So this  security crap people talk about confuses me.
Don't get me wrong, I'm fully aware that you need to have a solid source  of income, and that you need to provide. And I'm not fighting that.
What I'm tired of banging my head against is the thought that ANY  20-something year old has a secure future. Look at the world around us.  It's crumbling. Studying Law doesn't guarantee you have a job anymore or  100k a year. Dentists have to move to small towns to have any shot at a  practice. Same with physicians. The only thing sure is death. So my  buddy Brigham has it right. You want a secure future, study mortuary  sciences and become a funeral director.
And if you're a girl ages 18-23 and still haven't gotten through hair school, don't even begin to mention it. It's ridiculous.
