I make beer. I think I have found my purpose!

I could make a Hitler joke...

Hint: No one finds the center. Most people their lofty goals and ruined by the reality of things like food and housing cost $ and I need it
MilitantHomosexual
Well damn. I already found my purpose. Thanks for taking away the one thing I was looking forward to.
UselessCargo
I would honestly say the "What you can be paid for" circle should get the fuck out. Your purpose doesn't need to make $$$
GlassCannon570
Purpose for me is to gather sand index all of the information I can.

Wow, thanks a lot. According to this I have no purpose.
CoolNoah
So being a police officer fits pretty well it seems
mofreckle
This all points to butt stuff
thraxcres
So I have a profession and a vocation but no purpose?
redraptor64
I work at a local owned computer store, love it, good at it, get paid for it, and i don't know about the world but old people sure need me.
Rimblghast
I never thought getting paid was the easy part. Whelp, purposelessly I continue my existance!

So is the next graph going to tell me what my purpose is as non of the shit in my graph crosses over!

There are two kinds of jobs out there: jobs you do for yourself and jobs you do for others
thevortexmaster
I do mine for myself and others. I worked on my skill and passion for a long time and now I helps others that are less fortunate with it
Cal74
As someone who aspires to build prosthetic limbs, I think I've found both
Octavius440
That's the goal!

Churning out Dank Memes.... 3 out of 4 ain't bad.
BossBMe
4 out of 4... the world needs more memes
Camelspotting
Are you implying memes aren't what the world needs?
LordSupergreat
No, they're just not good at it.
IchabodTheOptimisticCanine
You get paid for memes?
rouverius
Depends. Does using imgur when in the office bathroom count?
ocegur
Imgur employees do
PresidentProTempore
Can I be paid for playing video games because the world doesn't need me out of the house. Thanks.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
you can, you just need to be either very good at it, very entertaining, or both.
PresidentProTempore
Oh well I'm fucked.
haltwenty13
Can we talk about what the four small blank areas represent? Are they traps like competitive gamer?
pobody
Life without passion.
cloudandtrains
you have to be better than 0.1 % of the population and even at that level you still feel likea noob compared to so many others
mythsnlore
Looked at carefully, those smallest areas should have the labels for the slivers and the slivers should be blank.
Derragur
I love that u mentioned gaming, I love making esports tournaments the middle east is lacking them im getting paid to make tournaments
Derragur
And am good at it (or so I think) this is so refreshing for me after a spur of cripling depression
HungryFurBurger
I'm right in the middle, but the pay's pretty shit.
Derragur
You cant have it all you should be glad u found ur purpouse do it well and.the money will come
HungryFurBurger
I do get a lot of job satisfaction these days. But there ain't much money in this career, sadly. And money isn't everything, but it helps.
DoctorDelta
And if I don't love doing anything?
klynda
Exactly. I love sleep and socialising, but no one wants to pay me for that.
Sacurason
Social media marketing?
klynda
But I'm not good at it, nor does the world need it. I, unfortunately, hate every single thing I am good at...

Either get that depression worked on or do more stuff and find what you love.

Clearly, that is what the world needs, what you are good at, and what you love doing. But who is paying you to do it?

StephNugs
For me, that's voice acting, but it's damn near impossible to get a foot in the door. It's depressing.
Derragur
Start a youtube channel use your voice acting as a gimmick maybe do lets plays or stuff like that itll help you practice and get better
Derragur
If you are good.enough u will start getting traction with enough traction you either get noticed or get a channel.going to make ends meet
Derragur
Or fail.miserably but you would have practiced and gotten better and you could find something else.to keep you voice acting
StephNugs
I've tried to do that, but I have tons of problems (asperger, anxiety, depression) that keep me from regular uploads.
Derragur
Can you get help? A month into therapy and it feels like my paranoia is fading and my anxiety is giving me big breaks it works if you can
StephNugs
I went to a specialized clinic for the aspergers, but the other stuff is unavoidable. I'm more sensitive to loud noises, bright lights, 1/?
StephNugs
Disabled people, etc., so I get anxious in public. I'm smarter than 90% of my peers, so I have 1 friend and that's my girlfriend. 2/?

Follow your dreams! Unless they take you anywhere but Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics.
ActionJohnnie
I dream about booze and hookers.
JustDontCare
I want to be an artist. I like to write. Draw. And design entertainment (games) I'm screwed.
agentmcgee
My dream is in science and I finally got my dream job! I get to design experiments for students so they can get their degree. I don't have 1
MidnightRising
Always follow your dreams. But also know that you are not owed success. If it's not in high demand, you have to be the best of the best.
WhoWatchesTheWatchm3n
Stem for the win!
CityYeti
I'd love to make movies....to bad I went to school for computers
penguinzl
Nope-science is not a secure field. At least if you're going the academia route. Funding is precarious.
Capnrory
This - they need to take the S out of STEM, at least here in the UK pure science is a precarious and relatively poorly paid career
Placentaur
As a natural STEM major, thank God
Some1OnceToldMe
Hey, Accounting is pretty fucking important too! And it's super interest- well, no. But it's important!!
DarPhyve
This is why I love being an engineer :)
IReallyNeedAHobby
I'm tired of following my dreams. I'm just gonna ask them where they're going, and hook up with them later.

deadendeaccount
Wrong. Out of high school, you have a .03% chance to make it into the NBA. Pursue it. You may make it. BUT. Pursue it intelligently. 1/#
deadendeaccount
The NBA needs medical professionals, legal advisors, marketers, accountants, web developers, models and simulations, analytics, etc. 2/#
deadendeaccount
So you can make it into the NBA. You may not make it as a professional athelete, but you will be working in a field that interests you 3/#
deadendeaccount
and that you are truly passionate about. Something you can dedicate yourself too and that brings you happiness. 4/4

or manual labour work. Mechanic, Carpenter etc.
realskramz
This is exactly what i used to think. I wish i had considered fine arts as option earlier, would've saved years from my life.
elementofdisaster
Whops, now how did I make a living as a theatre artist? Dreams.
phe0n1x
Follow your dreams if they can support you being independent IMO.
barkthepolarbear
Made that mistake, now I'm $70k in debt and going nowhere halfway through my projected lifespan!
tomb818
Told my son's to go to college for STEM, get a degree to help feed a family. If you love art or literature, that's what hobbies are for.
tomb818
Now I have two Engineer graduates, w/ good jobs and secure futures. Time for a hobby!
realskramz
This is so factually false it's incredible.
tomb818
Helped that they were both so inclined. BUT, if a liberal arts education was thier dream, would have been fine.
imjustpetty
Honestly, good for you. Always encourage, never dissuade
circegirl
Not everyone has the luxury of living their dream! You're much better off studying stem, getting decent job rather than studying what you
circegirl
Want and then ending up not having your skills valued and having to work 60+ hours a week to mostly break even! Dreams are a luxury
DickDickadomeOwnerOfTheDicksdaleDickadome
STEM major made me wanna jump off a building. Meanwhile, as long as there are businesses, someone's gonna need a PR person

Enlight me on the mythical race without harsh parents
IHateyouIfyouremoreattractivethanme
The wealthy, otherwise referred to as the filthythicus-richus, do not have what you refer to as strict paternal organisms,
IHateyouIfyouremoreattractivethanme
For the wealthy fear, their offspring will despise them if they do not spoil it.
thedreamersleepsagain
my parents are neglectful, which makes sense, since they can barely care for themselves when they live alone. i avoid them now that i'm free
FriendlyNeighbourhoodSatan
If everyone followed their dreams, there would be no one to cook burgers at mcdonalds. While a nice sentiment, its unrealistic advice
DataBender
If everyone followed their dreams, mcdonalds would cease to exist
LucifersNewGroove
You assume everyone dreams big, and that's not really true. I've known many people who were perfectly content working in food service.
DataBender
You assume i meant that people didnt want to be burger flippers. If I followed a dream of making food for others, i woukdnt work at mcdonald
SmolRat
No there still would be. There's always the people who are happy with less & of course people who can't do anything other than low tier jobs
TheLetterKay
Not entirely true. My fiance is a laborer. He wants to be doing physical work no matter the weather. I didn't think there were people like
TheLetterKay
That until I met him.
FriendlyNeighbourhoodSatan
Oh of course. I dont mean to say that there are no people who find satisfaction in there jobs, whatever they may be. Only that there are >
FriendlyNeighbourhoodSatan
Lots of truck drivers, burger flippers, gas jockeys, laborers, etc. That are unhappy with their work. And that they are necessary >
Searic
It's more so what you love you have to take steps to achieve it, so be that get a job flipping burgers to get money for ur dream etc?
SuperBeetle76
Exactly
RealityIsOftenDisappointing
Not if your dream requires you to work a deadend job too. Its an ideal. Ideals are unrealistic by nature.
LucifersNewGroove
Exactly. Most of the successful people I know have worked min wage jobs at some point.
Littleman88
Don't even earn enough to live, let alone follow your dreams. Get a job at Micky's to have "experience" for a career... if career hires.
theyar
Completely wrong. Working at McD's could be a perfectly valid piece of the process of following your dreams.
FriendlyNeighbourhoodSatan
While that could be true for any given person, keep in mind the people who work dead end job after dead end job, and barely make ends meet
theyar
Yes but now you're changing the point 180°.
FriendlyNeighbourhoodSatan
Im saying that following your dreams is unrealistic advice, because of the obligations of life. Any given person may, or may not be able to.
parallaxHero
Make it STEAM. Things are bland and less enjoyable without Art/design
Itoadaso
CleverHeathen
Just the worst thing ive heard
Xathraphor
As both an artist and an engeneer, STEAM is a bad idea. It implies that art is a hiring, booming industry.
parallaxHero
I wouldn't say Science or mathematics are booming industries either. They're highly specialized positions with a lot of education required
parallaxHero
and few funded spots available for interesting work
coolguy4206969
There's a reason it's starving artist and not starving engineer
GDSTEVE
Adding art to STEM is like the Catholic Church adding a tranny bishop...some things aren't as good together as peanut butter and chocolate.
CwmMakesPeopleCryInScrabble
Eh. Graphic and UX design are important to public consumption products.

Ok, but don't come crawling to me when you can't sell anything because your company doesnt have a logo and your product is 90s computer grey
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
The problem isn't that we don't need artists. The problem is that we have an over abundance of artists compared to STEM.
rosiethereaver
If that were true, art wouldn't cost so much, and good art wouldn't be so special.
AmazinglyCoolNameHere
The market will sort that out, no need to flaunt your fedora about it. And do you like music, movies, shows, games? Then you need artists.
yourspecialeyes
I have been told ' following your dreams is stupid. do you think lawyers and accountants followed their dreams? go apply to gradschool.'
CidEquinox
But what if being a lawyer is my dream? It is btw :)
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
All of my law and accountant friends went into their fields b/c that was their dream career.
Beelsebooob
People who are *good* lawyers almost certainly did follow their dreams.
SmolRat
That's such bullshit that no one would enjoy law and math and things along that vein. Fuck whoever said that shit to you! D:
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
Didn't do STEM career, have my dream job. I love working every day and I get paid lots. Seriously.
RealScienceMan
I followed my dreams to gradschool
JustAnotherRandomCommenter
which is bullshit. good lawyers and accountants enjoy the hell out of what they're doing.
Mostlydeadpool
you HAVE to enjoy what you do just to do it enough to be awesome at it. paycheck mentality only carrys you so far.
ArtOzz
Some people love laws and math dude.
Sc00ba5teeve
I fukken love me sum of dem maths
ArtOzz
Maths is EASY. Words are HARD. 1 is always 1. In English its all about the context and even then TONE inside someone's HED changes the mean.

Accountant here: I did follow my dream.
TotallyNotIdiotic
My nephew wants to become an accountant. So for his birthday i got him a bag filled with reciepts. I said, don't worry I kept the gifts.
LucifersNewGroove
That's great! Tbh years ago, I probably wouldn't believe you, but my husband is very passionate about taxes. There's something for everyone!

Dream was to be a programmer. Was told I was bad at math. Became a writer.Taught myself to program in 2014 at 36yo I'm a Sr. Eng. & <3 it.

I am in my first 9-5 stable office job. I find myself yearning for more, but I'm IT pro. How do you keep yourself...happy i guess?
FancyFrance
Find hobbies at home to enjoy life. Also, I'm an engineer, so I move within my company every 3-5 years to master a new skill.
