Hey PrinceEA, I’m a big fan of your work, every time i watch/read or listen to your content I’m never short for inspiration and motivation, so thank you so much!
It excited me even more to realise you’re doing an AMA , I’m rushing myself to ask a thousand questions, for which i know you could give a straight understandable answer; but I’m going with the question that i’d love to hear your opinion and one i constantly ask myself everyday.
So I joined the military when i was 16.(British army college) And i’ve served ever since.(I’m 24 now). I’m at the stage of my career and life where i really want to jump ship and experience something different with my life. The thing is the “Army" is all i know, i can never give myself a straight answer to what i want to do with my life should i leave the barrack gates, basically my heart says: “FINISH YOUR SERVICE AND GO EXPLORE,TRAVEL,TRY THINGS,FAIL THINGS AND LEARN THINGS”. But my head always says: “ No you are cool buddy, you’re in a totally secure job, guaranteed pay every month, the money gets you what you want more or less, you’re housed and fed”.The list goes on and on.
I have until this winter to make a decision wether i want to end my service or extend, its got to a point where even my mother keeps telling me to follow my heart and instinct.
So basically theres nothing more i want right now, than to leave this career behind and go out and actually start all over, explore and see whats out there. But i have this 1% that constantly repeats “WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS? WHAT IF THAT HAPPENS?”.
How would you come to a conclusion with yourself in this matter? Would you take the leap?
(i say this because a person leaving service with nothing much to give qualification-wise, is a massive thing for us soldiers, we have the sheer hard-work,discipline, trust and determination to offer employers but that doesn’t mean anything,when you have the person who has a degree and other experiences else-where. )
Or, would you keep sleeping on it until one day you may think: “What was i even kidding myself about? I’d be homeless within a click of a finger”
I feel i have so much to offer an employer if i was trained for the line of work, but i know out there in the big wide world, its whats on your C.V that lands you the job.
Even a short response would mean a lot to me! Thanks for your work sir, please keep doing what you do best :)
