Are you doing what you wanted to do?

I think (and I may be wrong too) that most people who use these forums are in some way involved in internet related fields, such as web development, programming, marketing ,etc.

I wonder, is this what you always wanted to do, is this the dream?

For me it was a sort of doorway to the dream, it was a step in the right direction, but not the actual dream.

 

Being a geek isn't bad at all!

 

DP is more of a hobby/area of interest for me. However, my career did not follow the original plan other than I wanted to make as much money as I could. Multiple paths would open up simultaneously and I would have to choose one. Opportunities arose and some I seized and some I didn't. Did I make the best choices? Will never know, but it generally has been a good ride. Probably could have been better...

 

Well in your particular case there are negatives as well as positives. On the positive side you built a tinfoil hat empire that spans the world. On the negative side with all of your wealth, fame, and influence, you can't even get your *Like* button fixed.

There is a cruel irony to it all.

 

Well, I kind of fell into an opportunity..a great strategic tool indeed. I had not planned to do this. But it's exciting..
Thanks interesting question..

 

It wasn't a dream definitely, but it becomes a really nice direction for me, so I enjoy it a lot

 

i can say yes , i am doing what i want . coming to make my dreams come true .

 

No. I always wanted to be a rock musician. THAT would definitely make me a lot of money. Who is with me?

 

Rock musician would be good. Myself, I want to be a professional Lottery winner.

 

For me, it's more of a hobby. My dream is completely different things. I hope someday I will fulfill them

 

At least for me, it is a situation that changes according to the events that are happening at that moment.

 

I went into university thinking Computer Science was something that I was meant to do, as I enjoy working/playing with computers and games.

But halfway through my degree, I realized that I don't actually enjoy Computer Science.

In my spare time, I would write story ideas in my notepad, I also used a lot of video editing software for the horror-themed videos that I made, I also did some songwriting. My genres consisted of Rap with the exception of one pop track and one Bollywood track too.
So I kept using my spare time for my hobbies and finished my degree. Shortly after my ceremony, I found myself in the educational sector.
Only God knows my destiny and I'll choose to tread gently

 

in general yes , but it might be something normal , if you will really do what you want with time you will start have problems with health ,low,family and friends , job etc...

 

when you consider having more than 1 dream to fulfill in your life, than the whole internet thing would be just one of them for me

 

Yes. I quit my job because the business it was associated with had an unprofessional infrastructure due to not enough proper communication from workers, barely any employment benefits, and obnoxious stockholders that make employees fend for themselves when problems happen. These obnoxious stockholders are wanting all the money to themselves while making the business I was an employee in a train wreck. Because the roof was leaking, ceilings were damaged, products got ruined from outdated machines, new employees weren't trained properly due to not enough proper communication from trainers, etc. It was so unprofessional, disgusting, and dangerous working there. I didn't want a water pipe falling from the ceiling and sending me into a coma after my head got hit by it. I got tired of my fingernails, hands, and arms getting cut until they started bleeding because my supervisor was telling me to work dehumanizingly fast. It was a sweatshop job that I would not do anymore.

 

Wow, can you advise what industry and geography that company is in? Glad you escaped it.

 

I can. But I will not.

 

No, I am not doing what I wanted to do when I was still wet behind the ears. That is a GOOD thing as if I had continued, I would be miserable today. Well off, but utterly miserable.
