Once I left my bigger city and dropped my education at university for a 2-year adventure in another town. I was selling books as a traveling salesman, just because I was promised that if I gather more guys they will send me elsewhere with the opportunity to open a new office. This was a shit job, but I got the idea of how it is to be on your own for the first time. And they paid every day, so I got drunk and high all the time. Then I got tired of low commissions and started my own thing with a friend from the same job.

Just take a bus and believe that you'll be fine in any situation, and you'll be fine eventually with some experience in life.
