He Decime,

First off, let me say that it’s quite natural to want the things you want being a 20 year old guy (having been one myself). Whether ou will get any joy of these things…well it’s something that you have to find out yourself. One of the common themes I’ve noticed in both your options your focus on the outcome rather than the process (e.g. you enjoy soccer when you score a goal but hate the training). However, to reap the rewards that you crave, you need to be REALLY good at what you do and it is a lot harder to become proficient at something that you are not passionate about. This is because to excel in any field, you are going to hit a lot of walls and if you are not passionate about what you do, you will end up hating it. That’s why successful people are generally those who follow their passion (e.g. Steve Jobs and J.K. Rowling) rather than materialistic gains. Given your age, you still have time to look for what that passion is. Just look out for things that you simply enjoy doing rather than what you get out of it. If it is something that you can make money out of as well? Well that’s probably the career path you want to follow.
