I’m a first year business student in Canada, currently in LA for the first time and it’s kind of ruining me in the best way. Feel like I’ve been sleepwalking and this city woke something up.
Been going back and forth between these paths and can’t land on one:
IB - the soul crushing but money making option a lot around me are recruiting for. Money is obviously real but I’ve talked to l people in it to know the work itself is pretty shit. Not sure I can create passion for however long it takes.
Starting something - have a few ideas kicking around.. Something around music, psychedelics, stories, real conversation and depth. More of a passion than a business right now
Artist - I play guitar and am taking singing lessons. and Whether that translates to anything real I don’t know
Entertainment exec - been thinking about this one a lot lately. The idea of being in rooms where creative decisions get made excites me. But I know LA eats people alive who show up without a plan
I am 20 years old. What would you actually do?
