When do I go base jumping?
I watched this video of people doing crazy things like slacklining across cliffs and base jumping in countries where there are cliffs and such, and it has me going crazy. Sometimes I feel like society demands that you get done with school and go out into the workforce and start your career, otherwise you won’t get anywhere. “Make money while you’re young and then you can retire early and do whatever you want.” But then I’ll be OLD! Who does cool stuff when they’re old? Here’s my current path:
4-year architecture undergrad (also known as hell)
2 or 3 years grad school to get masters degree
about 1 year of internships
Yeah okay. I go to school while I’m in my early twenties. But hey, isn’t that when you’re supposed to “live”? When do I go out and do cool things and live humbly while working a job that gets me by? Do I have to start my career right out of college so I can get experience before I start practicing architecture? (This is assuming I stay in architecture…) Just let me live in Costa Rica where I can surf and work somewhere for a bit. Then later I can start my life. Just not now. Please.
