Will I have a successful life?

    One of the things I worry about is if I'm going to have a successful life. When I move out of my dad's, how is my life going to turn out? Will I struggle paying the bills / rent / mortgage / whatever? Will I have a stable job? Will I have a significant other?

    What are the worries you have for a successful life?
     
    I sometimes worry that school will get hard, and I wont be able to male good grades. Other than that, usual stuff like getting a job and being able to pay bills/rent/whatever.
     
    I worry that I won't be able to get a job in the industry I want because of my major switch. I know people that didn't get good jobs in computers even with the high-end degree with the proper major, so to think that with my lesser degree I'll be able to easily find a job is really silly, haha. Hopefully my other jobs during the school year will be my boost to finding a job I actually want.
     
    I worry about basically everything nowadays but job credentials are what I fret the most over nowadays if anything. Gotta start somewhere though but I'm still trying to figure out where exactly sadly.
     
    Even though I'm learning to be independent from my family in preparation for going to college, I worry that I won't have a successful life because I have a tendency to slack off and not get anything done on time.
     
    I worry most about two things, but they're the standard stuff. One is not getting good enough grades and therefore not being able to find a good enough job to survive on or enjoy, and the other is not finding a 'significant other', but I'll worry about the latter in a few years when I'm completely ready for a serious relationship.
     
    I worry about getting a job, driving (Mostly because I tend to get tunnel vision or zone out inappropriately). I also worry about raising a child and getting to do what I love. I'm not a very emoting person so I'm worried I'll give my child the wrong idea like I've gotten from others for years.
     
    The thing I worry about the most is not being able to live life the way I want to. Getting good grades, a profession that I am happy with, a nice family - that's basically it.
     
    I worry about my health, and I worry that one day something will happen to make the studio I work at close and I am unable to stay in the country because I can't apply for a perm residence yet and have no idea what other Visa tier I'd have to apply to.

    Also worried about having my bank account hacked/ money stolen from it and being unable to live or having to take out a huge amount of loans.

    Like any other worries.. just want to be able to live and live comfortably.
     
    Patchisou Yutohru, I wondered the same thing when I moved out of my parent's house, just try not to move too far away cuz you wan't to have the support of your family if anything goes wrong financially or something. I moved 10 hours away and it was hell for me cuz all I had was a minimum wage job and my manager wouldn't up my hours even though he knew I was living alone without welfare, food stamps, or any help with cash. So I got fired because my electricity went out cuz I couldn't pay my bill and walked in late because my phone was dead. The world is really harsh out there and reality will slap you in the face as soon as you start out on your own. I found out the hard way so I told my manager that hes a worthless POS cuz even the shift manager thought it was dumb for him to fire me and now I'm back in the corrupt state of Illinois closer to my family. I'm not saying that your life will or will not be successful, it depends on what you wan't it to be, you gotta know right from wrong and I'm sure your dad will help in any way he possible can if something bad happens. I wish the best of luck to you my friend.

    Now my worries is that I will end up incarcerated in the corrupt state of Illinois cuz of the stupid things this state does. I know right from wrong but nothing is right in this state. I can't get hired in this state to save my life, it seems every business blows me off so I'm about to start a riot cuz It's been the same things over and over and over again for the last 3 years I lived here. That's pretty much my only worry until I get out of this state again.
     
    One of my main fears related to success is that I'm not going to be able to find a way to live the life I want while making decent money, and instead I'm going to be forced to work one of those godawful 9-5 jobs.

    9-5 work seems soul-destroying. I'm happy to work and work hard, but not like that. Not in that same hum-drum existence as everybody else, where people live for the weekends and spend the other five days trapped in an office cubicle somewhere and emerge once every hour or so to talk about TV shows and ***** about their boss by the water cooler.
     
    Well, I have already moved out and been living independently for over 4 years now and I am going strong.

    I just worry that I won't have a job some day, which will make things very difficult!​

    Well, right now I estimate that the number of rejected job applications I've filled out is in the triple digits. So obviously that's a major concern to me that my life won't end up as successful as I want it to... Right now my life is definitely NOT where I wanted it to be at this stage in my life, and quite frankly, it worries me. I want to make a good living, earn quite a lot of money, and live comfortably. So far nothing in my life is indicating I'm on the path toward that.
     
    Well, college is looming overhead, so thoughts are definitely creeping in. But for now, I'm doing alright. I'm avoiding the question. =/
     
    I have no doubts I'll do alright. I've got skills and will soon have my expensive piece of paper saying I got an education, but more importantly skills.

    I don't expect it to be easy, but maybe it'll be worth it.
     
    I think I'm almost guaranteed to have a life of stable income despite my procrastination, but I have different standards of a successful life than others. I set a lofty goal for myself and I think that not being able to get a job where I directly help people will basically mean that I'll have lived an unsuccessful life, regardless of the money I may get from it.

    If I don't achieve that goal, then I'll probably kill myself. But you know. Fingers crossed and all that jazz.
     
    Probably the biggest worry that goes through my head every day, aside from getting into college. I honestly don't want to struggle paying bills and all that. I know I at least have some academic potential but its really about work ethic which I'm not really full of, since I usually get distracted or procrastinate.
