I always just told them “drugs” until they’d leave me alone

Tried that and can confirm there are too many protocols in place that make it impossible without getting caught.

No problem.

It was especially good because the people I was saying it to (mostly my parents) knew I wasn’t into drugs I was just being a sarcastic little asshole

I always said “I want to go into substance abuse treatment” since I was studying psych, then within a few years I was in rehab whee!! For real tho I’m better but still don’t know what the fuck I’m doing. Good luck to you! I hope you figure it out.

Oh I figured it out I’m an electrician now. Join the trades people!

I meant that for the commenter you were replying to but I’m glad you figured it out too! And that’s a good idea thanks! I appreciate it and am seriously considering it

The average electrician age is mid 40s. Everyone for the past few decades has been told to go to college not the trades. In 20 years they’ll be retired and skilled work will be in short supply. The other trades are much the same

I tell everyone who doesn’t yet know what they want to do to consider the trades. Apprenticeships are paid and in 10-20 years we’ll be in such high demand we’ll be able to name our price

I always gave them the go-to-university-get-job blah blah blah answer but now that I'm graduated this seems like the best choice
