I want to be a stock broker

If you ask me, there's nothing more gutsy and sassy than gambling with two of life's most precious commodities. Time and Money. Of course, nobody ever wants to do it wrong. Losing money and time hurts like hell. The ' could of's ' kill us and invariably lead us to fritter more time away on wondering what we should HAVE done if we were just a tad wiser. But what if you were a stock broker who felt like you had gone through enough trials and tribulations in life to not give a shit about money and time? What if for some intense, intense reason money and time meant nothing to you? What if you had been through enough crud in life to realise that time and money, two things which drive us crazy, really are nothing more than what they are?

I love a good gambler in life. Now, i'm not condoning gambling but if there's one thing i do like about that risky game is the balls that people have in being able to do it. It might be silly, irresponsible and unwise to gamble your kids college funds away for the slither of a chance of that 50K but gambling is also the biggest way to slap life back in the face. To finally get your revenge on it. To say with complete conviction, I've been through all your bullshit and i'm not afraid of losing it all because when you reach a certain point, you know you can survive anything. When I've played cards or games that involve betting, i'm always the person who gambles it all away. Whilst my more safe counterparts carefully calculate the odds and keep themselves frugal and alert, i say, " Whatever. Winning or losing ultimately means nothing when death is imminent, failure is just around the corner and things change so quickly that you could be back at home with your parents and without a job in one second ".

What is money compared to the ultimate risk that is living anyway? Money feels so good to hold and to spend but it ends up gone, inevitably whilst life sticks around...forever. Time and money will always mean something to me of course but the thought of being a stock broker means that i could never lose because i know that no matter if i'm the richest girl my age or the biggest loser ever, i'll always be me and have my own ideas which propel me forward. And because we are all glass cases with objects inside, all i know is all i'll ever know within this life called my own. It makes sense for me to look into this venture because time and money don't even mean that much to me. Sure they're both nice to play around with and i love shopping but as a form of currency, i think they are so over hyped that we have completely distorted their importance. I'm not saying that it won't suck to lose a couple of grand. What i am saying is that i've got the perspective that could make this whole thing a lot less of a drama than it is for other people. I like the enjoyments that money can provide but if there's one thing i've learnt in life is that the best things seriously are for free.
