In 2012, I graduated from high school. I've been working since then for my dad, doing home renovations. I intend to join the reserves before the year changes again. I have friends who I graduated with, who have gone to college, or university. Some are into security, photography, fashion, computer sciences, construction. We cover so many different fields, but there is one thing that I am finding holds true for all of us.
We don't know what to do next.
We have no driving purpose, no reason to work. Sure, there are bills to pay, gas tanks to fill, and things to buy, but why bother? Some of my friends have finished school, they've done their exams and courses and aren't sure what to do next. I haven't even moved out yet, and I'm in the same spot they are. We're missing something. Something important. Are you missing it? Have you noticed that working isn't enough, that while visiting friends and making money and buying gifts is great and makes you feel pretty good, but you still are confused as to why you're doing it?
Well, paranoia and conspiracy theories would likely suggest we are being programmed, groomed for something. Maybe God is doing it, aliens could be responsible, or perhaps the more likely answer is that the upper class is trying to control us and guide us to doing something for them. World War III, anyone?
Maybe it's just how things have happened. Humanity has be working on computers and money-making for a couple decades now, if not longer. Maybe we've been setting ourselves up for this. My generation has been pushed through schooling into the work-force, and now we're stalling. Which means the next generation will be stuck behind us, and the next behind them. Highway pile-ups aren't fun, but several generations who are backed up, confused and looking for something to believe in make a very volatile mix.
So, what are we missing?
