what are you interested in? what do you find that you always end up doing, when youre alone? what do you think about? creative things? have any ideas about solutions to problems you find?
here is a random list of skills that ive developed since around that age:
cooking (working restaurants of various types and doing Food Not Bombs direct action stuff)
naturopathic medicine and herbal remedies (studied and worked with/for a family business that produced, marketed, and sold homeopathic/naturopathic medicines, tinctures, etc.
sustainable residential construction (started with learning building Earthships, moved to high-end custom carpentry, to conventional remodelling and construction)
Trail building and forestry (spent 2 years doing forest thinning for wildfire management and trail building on the Continental Divide)
edible landscaping/local agriculture (Nashville Foodscapes designed and implemented landscaping that used native plants and fruit bearing and edible plants as beautiful landscaping)
Music and art (im self taught musician and artist using various medium. woodwork, pen and ink, graphic design)
IT, software development, systems building (self taught and AI assisted projects building production apps for various business ideas, building tools to help me in my day to day, etc.)
Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science Information Technology (I need the peice of paper that says im worth 100k salary)
Just do shit, dont think so hard. Follow your heart. If theres something youre interested in, go seek it out and immerse yourself. Then see where it takes you.
Ive travelled the world and USA building Earthships, met people from all over the world doing different things and the broader your experiences are the more oppurtunities you will find.
Vibe coding.
