Hi guys, i'm starting to get very depressed about what i want to do in life and what future career to follow.
I'm 20 years old, currently looking for part time jobs to get a little income.
Basically, i've recently just finished a music course in London, before that i did a BTEC in Sport.
I've just been to lunch with parents, and had them on my back about what i want to do. My parents want me to do sport because that's what i'm naturally good at, and i know this, but in regards to sport i wanted either to be professional or not do it. Now i get annoyed with myself because i've always been jack of all trades if you see what i mean, i've been good at everything i do, sport, played every sport and was basically the best in my year at each position i did, defender in football, tennis, cricket (bowler), rugby (winger), athletics, swimming, hockey, i did it all and was recognised at talented, but i got annoyed because i was never the "master" at it, to be "scouted", i played county level tennis and cricket until i broke my arm severly, which forced me to have plate implanted (put me out of sport for nearly a year) so i lost it for tennis and cricket. My dads just told me that the countys cricket coach was asking after me to see if i wanted to play again, now i don't enjoy cricket no more (50 overs is a bore!) but i know i was good at it, but my parents keep saying it will make connections about jobs and stuff.
Now, i really want to do music, but its hard to get into (music producing) i've done the music course (well recognised) and i've been a runner at a top london music studio, who recognised me within 2 weeks at the job and asked if i wanted to be an assistant (the manager told me no one has ever been asked to move up that quick)
My parents want me to do a uni course perhaps, but then thats another 3 years, and i feel i'm just going around in circles, as i did 2 years at college, a year of music etc i just don't know what to do.
I think i'm thinking that there isn't any money in sport etc, i don't want to be a coach/personal trainer.
I've kinda got it in my head that i want to find a job to save enough to go work in america for a while, apply at music studios etc.
Two dreams basically to play sport professionally (i feel i've past it now, even though i'm 20, because if i was that good at sport i would have been snapped up) or be a music producer.
Sorry for the long story!
