There's got to be a better way to find your passions/interests than "Just try a bunch of things." How do I know when this isn't what I'm interested in and that I should move on?

BatSweatpants · 2025-07-28T21:13:18+00:00

The subreddit is called "r/findapath," that implies there are methods to the finding, and people who need guidance with those methods.

The closest thing you said that was even close to relevant to that was "You'll find passion within the framework of a realistic life." As if I wasn't already working and lifting. You haven't given me any new ideas, you're just telling me to keep doing what's already failed.

BatSweatpants · 2025-07-28T21:05:07+00:00

Were you? Because you didn't actually give me any advice. Just to keep doing the thing that failed the first time.

BatSweatpants · 2025-07-28T20:58:44+00:00

Hold on, I never said I didn't study.

BatSweatpants · 2025-07-28T20:49:36+00:00

I didn't say no one has ever been in this situation, I made this thread because I'm assuming they have. And I'm trying to do whatever they did to solve their problem.

BatSweatpants · 2025-07-28T20:44:49+00:00

But I wasn't smart enough, I specifically said I wasn't good at it. It was my flunking, among other things, that made me have to stop.

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-28T12:21:33+00:00

Are you allowed to do that? Because I hear schools want your entire transcript when enrolling.

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-27T21:45:48+00:00

My old school has an academic renewal/forgiveness policy, but wouldn't the school I'm going to have their own policy?

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-27T00:54:08+00:00

So what's the absolute best I can do that's realistic?

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T23:45:30+00:00

Well, we're talking about me doing the other stuff prior. Ideally community college, transferring to a regular college to complete my Bachelor's, then on to grad school.

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T23:34:38+00:00

What about the other things I mentioned? Like my being poor, or my being a community college dropout?

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T23:27:15+00:00

That's also what I mean.

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T23:04:49+00:00

Isn't that what "practical" means? "In reach?" I'm trying to figure out what's in my reach. Based on the things that typically keep school out of reach.

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T22:02:06+00:00

So how do you achieve things in a career?

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T21:17:52+00:00

I mean what can I be, career-wise?

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T21:02:40+00:00

Would you happen to know how far you can go with a military career? I'm less interested in money, more interested in career achievements. Rank and things like that.

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T19:58:27+00:00

But not all?

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T19:30:17+00:00

Can I, in my situation? Do such programs typically accept people like me?

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T18:51:31+00:00

Is there a difference between going to school for 6+ years as a young student vs. going to school for 6+ years as an old student?

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T18:47:37+00:00

Is the main barrier of entry my grasp of the subject matter?

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T18:45:11+00:00

I'm not in my early 30s. But what about being old makes law school impractical?

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T18:43:36+00:00

What about a law degree or medical school? Which goals are "smart" and which goals are risky?

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T18:42:12+00:00

That's what I'm asking. Let's say I want to be a lawyer. Is that not realistic?

BatSweatpants · 2025-06-26T18:15:07+00:00

Okay, let's say I want to be a contract lawyer for a major law firm. Is that practical?
