I love learning, but I don’t like formal education (which is why I do online school - it’s mostly a formality, not much actual schooling). No career really appeals to me. I honestly just want to be a housewife. Thankfully, I have my family’s unconditional support, so I would never have to depend on a man.
I’ve never had any dream job or aspirations on getting to a high level. I sort of ended up being a truck driver, then I sort of accidentally started my own car mechanic business, I got enough of that and returned to truck driving.
I love history, I read all the time. I’ve been writing a history book, mostly for my own enjoyment. If I finish it, I’ll probably print a small amount of it and force them on my friends and family.
I don’t think its important to have career targets or goals but I do feel like its important to do something. If you have the means and finances to just hang out and learn stuff on your own, thats great. But with that freedom comes the risk of sort of closing yourself out of the world. Having a job or a hobby that gets you out of the house will keep that from happening.
I’ve never met someone who decided to write a history book as a hobby. Just wanted to say that’s awesome, hopefully you can make it accessible online to other history buffs who may enjoy it!
There’s actually a surprising amount of people doing that haha. I’ve been lurking in writer groups and forums, I’d say about 10-15% of amateur writers do history stuff :)
