"Should I finish the Actuarial exams?" Well yeah, you probably should have. This is what gets me. No accountability. Life is not as simple as "I'm gonna do what I want coz life is short so fcuk all these plebs that work for 'the man', I'm gonna live differently".
Like, grand. Follow your dreams. But do it with integrity and show us the full picture, not the insta-filtered version where your disordered eating issues are dressed up as "flexible dieting" and promoted to vulnerable teenagers on social media; or the fact that you can only "live differently" like this in a third world country where you can keep your outgoings down, or the fact that you can't save to buy a house or own any tangible assets because your income is so unsteady. If pensions are so unsexy, what plan does she have that won't require that safety net when she's old? Where will she be when she's 60 if she continues to live like this?
I did a degree I wasn't mad about, but it made me competitive and gave me credibility in the marketplace, which in turn helped me to build a sustainable career. I like some parts of the job I have now, but hate other parts of it. But I'm an adult with responsibilities so that's ok. Life isn't about blind hedonism and positioning yourself as superior to hard-working folks just because you've decided to sit in the sun eating magnums all day. Sometimes you have to do what you don't want to do for the longer term gain. Everything is instant gratification with SOH and the influencer community more broadly.
