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.
