Why am I here?

I find myself here at Wealthy Affiliate, as a free member. Its something I found online. Hopefully it will teach me things that I didn't know I needed. So then, let me take a step back and see how I ended up here.

Ever since I was a kid, I was troubled with thoughts of how to make money so that I can rely on myself and never end up as my family did. Up to my age, I don't have my own place and I can't afford a rent, so I live with parents. I only travel within my country, except on rare occasions; I want to be able to offer myself a lifestyle that for many people is considered normal.

So I did college. Veterinary medicine. I found that even though the theory of it was perfectly available and understandable to me, the practice was hindered by many things, especially the lack of guidance and the difficulty of finding somebody that actually cares about your learning. Maybe it's asking too much, but in any case it was something I wasn't good at in the given circumstances, so after 6 years of college and 2 years of trying to work and killing some patients, I gave it up.

I went to the Dominican Republic, which was the only other country where I knew someone, and I thought I'd find myself a better paid job. Sadly, I also found myself among strangers in a strage country that I didn't like at all, and I was so homesick I had the worst depression of my life. So I came back.

I then took the first job that was available, as a phone tech support agent for an internet provider. It was a boring job, and what I do now is just as boring, while being well rated here in Romania as a job in general. I don't see myself doing this for the rest of my life, but then again, I didn't picture myself at this age with nothing to show for either!

The internet is full of "lifetime opportunities" of all kinds, designed for desperate people. I don't think they work for everybody, as they say. I think they only work if you have a certain frame of mind.

However, Wealthy Affiliate doesn't seem that way. I'm sure there really ARE ways to make money easily, and from all I've seen, this is the first one that makes sense. So I start this out hopeful, and maybe I won't have to look back at my life and think I failed at pretty much everything.
