re: Post College Blues

4. You're still young and have yet to experience much that life has to offer and have yet to live it.

Find some perspective. I was 32 before I actually found the profession where I didn't get bored or hate my job after a couple of years. Not everything is neat and tidy for everyone, or even for most people. Often times, being unhappy at a job is a result of not having a sense of fulfillment. Don't pigeonhole yourself into a career that won't challenge you or that won't help you achieve the goals you have set for yourself long term.

As you grow older, you'll find your interests will also change. As Straw and others have pointed out, seek out new avenues and interests that you wouldn't normally seek to learn about. You may just find a calling in a different area as a result of it.

Realize that life is hard and that's its harder for stupid people. You can be a hard worker, but if you aren't doing it smartly, you'll always be miserable. Finally, realize that to have the things you want and the time you want, you have to sacrifice in the now... to get them in the future. Blame Adam for taking a bite of the fruit. It sentenced man to toil and sweat, banished from Eden.
