so, im 18 and currently live in perth, australia. Im half way through my 3 year uni degree, but lately ive been bored with uni and life in general, finding it hard to get motivated. Also, ive lived quite a sheltered life. Like, i dont really know how to open a bank account, or talk to a stranger, or simple things like that, as most of this has been done for me. Oh, also, i derive all of my income from poker (playing mainly online), and currently play for 15-20 hours a week, making around $100/hour (btw, the only reason im including this is to show that i can be financially secure.. i dont want this to get into a discussion about gambling and me losing all my money)
so yeh, im in a rut atm. I was thinking of taking a year or two off uni and going to live in another country. just getting up and moving to sumwhere where i dont know anything about the people, or culture, and just kinda... working it out. I dont have the problem of having to find a job, all i need is a casino and an internet connection. also, by the time i leave im hoping to have 60K stashed away in the bank so ill be in pretty good financial shape. Basically, i just want to throw myself into the deep end and get a ton of life experiences. because id only be 'working' for 15-20 hours a week, id have a lot of time to get out there and live life. I was thinking of some place like monte carlo, but im not sure of a definate location yet.
oh also, i wouldnt be going from a 'sheltered life' to unknown country in a giant leap. In a month im going on a skiing holiday to new zealand with just friends, an this will be the first big holiday ive been on that hasnt been with parents there. Then id be looking to go to melbourne for a month or two, where i know a couple of people, but not a ton. after that, if i felt comfortable id make my big move to a country that id never been to before and didnt know anyone. im basically just trying to get out there and make something of my life, put myself out of my comfort zone and gain a ton of life experiences. im hoping that if i do this, wen i come back in a year or watever, everyone will say 'wow, wat a different person you are' or 'youve changed alot', changed for the better obviously
so basically i was wondering if u guys think this is a good idea? or whether you think i should just stay in uni and slog it out?
