Should I bother with a career in this?

It’s gonna sound dumb as shit, but I genuinely want to make a career out of this. Maybe it’s my ADHD (yes, it’s diagnosed — I literally take meds for it), and I need max stimulation to stay engaged, but I genuinely get so much joy out of this. Even getting hit in the face, bro, I just love this sport. I don’t want to do it for the money — I want to do it because you’re only here once, and I’m not trying to piss my life away doing something I don’t want to do. I just want to see how far this takes me.

This isn’t some “I don’t train and want to start a career” type of thing. No — I train, and every day I’m not training, or during the times of day I’m not, I’m thinking about training. My main issue is that I can’t decide whether to head to Holland or Thailand after I graduate. I’ve got nothing tying me down after high school — all I know is I prefer striking over grappling by a lot. Which one should I pick? If it helps I also have wrestling experience from HS.

So right now I’m hitting the bag. It’s 100 pound Everlast bag and like I’m hitting it right now and are working on kicks to like body and thigh area. I’m throwing them and I’m watching the video back and on impact the side that’s closer to me on the bag is like getting wrinkles and after some of the kicks, the bag would like keep it its indent sort of if it’s not major but you know it’s noticeable for sure. I also have like these bumps on my shin. Should I stop?

Rn I’m hitting bag and my low kicks and body kicks are like making a thud or snap but can’t tell difference really cuz idk what that means. But the bag is sometimes getting indents in it and it’s a 100 pound everlast bag also my shin has these bumps but they don’t hurt should I stop?? And I’m looking video back and the side closer to knee when hitting bag not side closer to the ankle but one closer to knee had wrinkles on impact.

I can’t tell if I’m using my arm or snapping the punch cause it’s like my arm is being used to snap it yet it’s not like arm muscle like I can flick it out and pull it back at the same speed like it’s a blur honestly but like I just do not know if I’m flicking it or not.
