I'm sick of caring about with others think, actually its only my parents, as much as I tell myself I don't care about what they think, they do have so much effect on me.

I have one more year of college I need to finish at a top school, but I have to transfer because of a huge breakup with my ex-girl that made me take a year off. Im sure you read about it in the Sex advice forum. I'm over that, and will never ever fall for a chick or put my heart out like I did at my own cost again...I learned so many valuable things and am ready, no, craving to do something right now.
I have the talents for so many things business, music production, I am excellent with people, beyond excellent, as many celebrities are friends of mine and I work with a few of them in my music profession, ones that you would hear of. Something is empty.
I need to get out of my parents house! I can't stand the way they are and need to move on. BUT they require I get a 9-5 job and work 5 times a week before they pay for my college so I can graduate. I have been fighting it off for a while now, thinking its a waste of time. I don't care about the money, I know it will follow when I do what I like doing.
My goal?
Im going to move to LA, use my business degree to start a big porn company, use my music production skills to make the music for them, and then work as a personal trainer during the day for up and coming young female porn stars.
How the hell can I make this work? Finish college first? Get the dayjob?

yeah that.... :yeah

If you are older than 18 then you need to step up. Taking money from mom and dad is great, but it comes with a load of strings attached and you can't bitch about it. That's the deal and you agree'd with it the second you took their money and stayed in their house.

Do what most of us did. Get a college loan. Start your life. But don't screw around. Time goes too fast. Get that darn degree as fast as you can. Oh, and have a hell of a lot of fun while you're doing it. College is nothing but girls. There's no time in your life that will be like it even if you go into the porn industry. Oh there will be girls in that industry, but not like the ones from college.

22, and i dated the same girl for 3 years in college. It was a good deal though cause my school was 4000 kid, private catholic and like highschool, so if you did sleep around no girls would want that rep being with u. So, Im changing to a big school....my parents would be more than happy to pay for my college as it was 45k a year, i do not want to pay that off...and there are no strings if i get this job and go...guess thats what i gotta do, be a slave for now and work retail....?

The college gig. Hmmmm. How many people who go to college actually use their degree? I have a degree in Electronic Engineering and have yet to use it. Toughest thing was back in the 80's. No-one wanted to pay. So I started my own business, ran it for a few years, Almost died and got in the car business. never looked back.

Squad,

After reading what you wrote I have so much to say and dont quite know where to start. Lets start with your parents. I think most people your age go through what you are going through. Still at home, going to college, parents kinda have you by the balls b/c you either do as they say, or you get cut off. Parents will want to steer you in the right direction most of the time. Problem is, most teens feel as though they know what is best for them because they feel they are mature enough to do as they feel. In your case, you are not a teen, you are already a man. So, that makes it even tougher to chew that your parents have this grip on you. I will tell you this, most adults that look back on thier younger years, wish that they would have listened to thier parents on a few subject matters. School being at the top of that list I think. You are almost done with school. I did'nt read about what happened between you and your girl, but wonder if you can just suck it up and finish there? Not sure about what perspired, so can't comment on that part.

As far as your parents wanting you to work during college.....do it. They probably want to teach you about the value of money and the sacrafices one makes to work for it. I think they just want you to know what its like to earn your keep. I myself could'nt stand my parents either. I left my house at 18, and never turned back. I worked my ass off, and did things the hard way. I did'nt take thier advise and know now that it could have been easier if I had. But what you do, and the choices one makes is what molds you into the person that you are. The hardships make you a stronger person. The lessons you learn in life can be easier if you choose to listen to people who have already been through them (parents). Although not all parents have that in mind, some just enjoy having control and strive to keep it even as you grow older as long as they have something they can loom over you to control you (college tuition).

Work for your own money. Depend on them less, and less. You will have a sense of selfworth by doing so, trust me. Dude, you are very young, you are devestatingly wrong about not ever putting your heart out there again. What you feel right now is pain and resentment. The relationship hurt you beyond words, that is obvious. But shutting down your ability to hurt again is also shuting down your capability to love again. You cannot have love without hate. You cannot have pleasure without pain. If you want to keep your eyes fucused on school and work right now without the headaches of a relationship, then that might be the wiser choice. You need to heal first from your last one. You need to make peace with yourself before you jump into anything new. Or else it will be doomed from the get go. Just like anything else that is meant to last, there has to be a foundation first. That is what you must work on. Your foundation, your base. Trust me, another girl will come around, the right girl for you, and if you have your predisposed feelings and walls that you built up to protect you from pain, then she will slip away from you.
As far as your choice in industries. You may be showing your age with what you want to do. Starting a big porn company will never allow you to grow as a person. You will never be around people that can help you better yourself. That industry is full of people who are down. Can you make money? yes you can. Can you be truly happy with yourself inside and out? I dont think so. How can you start a family while in this industry? How can you tell your kids that thier daddy used to produce porn? Or still does? You cannot do that and expect to live a happy productive life.

Much, much more thoughts on all of this. If you would like to pm me. feel free bro. Dont mean to sound like a know it all, because I sure as hell dont know it all. But I would be more than happy to help in any way shape or form. Greg

Well it's natures way to take EVER porn producer and make him tone deaf. 99.9% of ALL porn music sucks. And I seriously doubt you need a collage degree to produce porn.
I was never a collage guy or felt I needed it and have done very well for myself. If this is something you feel you need for a better life you just need to suck it up and listen to your parents for now.
