hey im new here as you guys probably know! It is only up untill this week that I have really read up extensively about the new generations of children arising. I remember reading about them briefly a long time ago, and I beleive myself to be of such nature. I just stumbled upon this forum coincidentally this week, the week which has me in some confusion about my career path. I remember reading an article on the "CNE Children of the new earth" website, saying that these children have a completely different vision about their future and career, as to their parents and many of those only but a few years or more older than them! The difference lies in that the indigos have difficulty involving themselves in something that doesnt utilise their creative thought processes, and moreso just suffocates it with the same routine, boring activities. And so many career paths and opportunities instantly become forfeited, unless one desires to force themselves into something they dont want to do. I myself am currently at this point. I've worked quite a number of different jobs (from hospitality to telemarketing), and can envision myself going back to each one and feeling exactly how i felt and its not something that brought me joy, infact its probably far from that. That feeling in the morning, that you makes it so hard to get outta bed. The thought of working 9-5, 5 days a week, and beeing in mental slavery for 5 days, so i can be happy for 2 days and then going back into it again just doesnt seem like even an option for me at the moment. Everyone else around me seems to just shrug it off but thats not how i want my life to be? Material pursuits do not interest me at all. I do not see any logic in working for many many years thinking that one day I will be happier and wealthier. The happiest times of my life are here and now. Sometimes it just makes me scream. I just want to leave. I know i'd be more happy just moving somewhere, for example, a farm with many young children and just spending time with them, reading philosophy to them and playing in the grass. The thought of this brings me so much joy i just want to dance just thinking about it. After looking at my video footage of my trip to my mums home country phillipines in september2004, I remember all my family back there were very poor, but they seemed so much happier than the people who come in and out of my life at the moment involving themselves in what we call the "rat race". Many of them are uneducated, and are unable to work much but when I was over there I felt so much happier. Its not possible for me to go back there for atleast a few months, because plane tickets dont fall out of the sky lol, but I think its time to make some changes and some decisions, what they will be, I do not know yet. my name is brendan and im 20 thankyou for listening

article from CNE:
"The reasons that the Indigo follows this path are often quite simple. As Indigos they are highly intelligent and capable. They learn very fast, and have sharp and exploratory minds. School, as it is experienced now, simply bores them. It is too slow and it seems to have no purpose. To the sharp perception of the Indigo, school is just a place where they are forced to conform and to learn things that have no relevance and purpose in their lives as they see it. Indigos have already decided that they do not want to sit in offices and do boring and repetitive work, and so they see no need to be “trained” for that career path.
They are often very clear on this, and nothing will make them change their minds. If they are not allowed to follow their inclinations and quit school, they can become rebellious and angry and destructive, engaging in self-destructive behavior patterns that threaten themselves and their families. Or they may just sit around the house and seem to have no purpose or plan in life.
Please understand, dear parents, that your child is not doing this to drive you crazy. Nor are you a terrible parent who has failed in some way. What the Indigo teen-ager is crying out to all that can hear is that there is no place for them in society as it is constituted now. They do not want to join the “rat race” and become consumers of information and products. They want to live their lives as they know they should, being present in the moment and experiencing what life offers. They do want to express themselves and their talents; it is the reason for which they incarnated. But often they become so blocked with anger and misery that they become depressed and cannot find their way forward. They do not know where to turn. When they look at the traditional education and career paths they see nothing for them. And yet they cannot find alternatives. They seem paralyzed and lost. And indeed this is how many of these bright souls feel after fifteen years on the planet in the educational and economic systems in which they find themselves. And so they become depressed and anxious and seek ways of “escaping” this reality that holds nothing for them, often in alcohol and drugs."

What hobbies do you have? What spacifically makes you happy? I mean I've always been artistic but now that I'm in college, I find that Psychology and Biology are incredibly fascinating even though they don't incorporate any hobbies of mine, but I could see myself happy in those fields. I'd suggest maybe looking into possible jobs that are also hobbies for you, like if you like football (or soccer in the US) go and coach maybe a children's football team for a while, or at a recreational center that offers those kinds of activities - you get the idea. I mean perhaps there is even a way that you can move out to be around your mom, even though I understand it's quite a move, but if you'd be happier out there closer to their environment, that may just be a good idea. What's happiness to one person isn't always happiness to another, and one of the healthiest things a person can do in life (in my opinion) is find and pursue their own happiness.
Hope that made sense, lol. ^_^

What did you come up with LiquidChild. Whatever you'd do for free, is what you should do for money.

I definetly feel what you're going thru liquidchild. I've been dealing with some of the same feelings yesterday, trying to figure out either how to balance my work life and my spiritual life (I know they should be one in the same, but as an actor it's oftentimes difficult), or to maybe find a career that I can completely devote myself to spiritually. But sometimes I think that it may be possible to do this thing that I love, and at the same time find a good balance by finding a partner who's also spiritually aware, and making sure we lead a clear, free, open life. Who knows? We'll see

I thought to myself last week that I should atleast consider going back to study, because atleast that would broaden my horizons in terms of work options. So here I am flying through educational websites on the internet and I stumbled across a website (quite new here in australia) called open education. The australian government have recently invested alot of money into their educational areas. This means that I am able to study at university online (totally off campus), and the government will not only pay for my study fees (untill I am earning over 30,000 aus taxable p/year), they will also pay me the same study incentive amount per fortnight, that australian students on campus receive. This amount is easily enough for me to live on, and even enough to save a little. Hell studying online, I can even travel around australia with a laptop! Something I never even conceived of. I guess you could say im in a different position on the contrary to last weeks conflicts. p.s > resuming studys end of november!

Hallelujah,
I love the idea of phoning it in because it's a sign that the "SYSTEM" is changing. People can retain their individuality and personal space, and still contribute. I think that's just a beautiful thing, LC. Australia has one of the world's best educational systems. Bravo to you, and keep up the fantastic work. BLESSINGS MY FRIEND, Cherise

Just wanted to say that the feeling is very mutual concerning career choices. I'm in NYC right now, after not having been here in a while, and the whole day today, all I saw were people rushing, people giving me bad attitude because they were in bad moods, etc. There is a very huge unbalance between people's lives and spiritual lives today, and it's only natual that you are feeling lost at what to do. Those of us in High School are too!! But I do believe that there is a perfect job waiting for everybody... that it is possible to find a job that you love and are trylu content with, and that also helps you make ends meet. Just follow your heart and your intuition, and ask for guidance. Good luck Luz

well, so I skimmed. and I didn't read replies. I'm sick; I'll read them later. But yeah, the feeling is definately mutual. My parents want me to become an engineer; I want to become a singer. I want to get my message out there. I don't want to be tied to a desk doing endless MEANINGLESS work. I want to make a change, make a difference in LIVES, not paperwork. My parents don't understand this. Yes, I am struggling as well. A career as a singer is a very hard field to get into. But I'm not going to give up. I have plenty of doubts now and again, but no, I HAVE to do this. For my sanity. A suggestion: You said you would like reading philosophy to kids in the grass. You could be a teacher. You could work at maybe a Montessori school (they're the closest thing I can think of.) Shoot, you could start your own school...and teach in that way that you want. I wouldn't doubt that teaching kids in a nature setting would be good for them... It's a thought. Remember: the only thing that is stopping you...is you. No one realizes their own potential. Visualize it, put your foot forward, give it some time...and it can happen. Good luck

you know, there really are alot of jobs that offer a different amount of variety.
I'm presently working in a daycare, with 2-3 year olds, which is one of the most brilliant things that anyone could ever do. in fact, though I'm studying massage therapy, I don't honestly know whether I want to leave the childcare field yet.
keep your eyes and mind open. I never would have thought I would have enjoyed working in childcare, but it's amazing. just look for stuff where there will be variety, where you can work with people (or animals, if you feel inclined; I also worked in a veterinary clinic for a while, and the only reason that didn't work out is because I'm more inclined towards natural healing, and it was really hard not being able to say anything about alternatives.) and where one day won't look exactly the same as the day before. I think the most important thing for me is that I can feel like I'm impacting. I love working with the kids, being part of their lives, and recognizing the indigos and crystals and so forth that come in. I also love contributing to peoples healing, well-being and relaxation.
I guess I'm very fortunate in the fact that I've found two careers that I enjoy, and I can use both these jobs to support my real calling, which is writing. ...just another form of impact.
anyhow. yes. eyes/mind open. there's more possibilites than you're letting yourself be aware of.

Brendan, I'm 20 and still in education I still don't know what I want to do, but I have faith that if I work at focusing on myself and my relationships with the elements then I am finding my way, so, computers are metal element, I tried a bit of that, and now I am studying plants, that is wood element, next fire ;-)

I truly understand how you feel and your still young. I am 41 and I just quit working for a Corporate Health Care organization a month ago because I was just so tired of the mental slavery as you mentioned. I am still searching for a place on this earth to call me own. I want purpose and meaning in my work but for some ungodly reason, I can't seem to find it. I do still have bills to pay and may have to go back into the Corporate world but I pray and ask God all of the time to find a job suitable for me that will provide me to live better than what I am now. I always have said that I don't know what I want to be when I grow up and now at this age, I still ask myself the same question. I still can't seem to find my way.

Hello everyone, nice to find you all....I am in aw of this forum! Reading everyone's input is wonderful. I too am feeling the need to contribute more. I originally thought that I would work as a psychologist/social worker but while I was interning/and working, I became completely drained and depleted and frustrated. I actually felt ill most of the time. Most patients/clients are not willing to trust the universe...not willing to open up and listen to its ability to create the truth that will improve their situation (of course this was over ten years ago and there is so much shifting now that maybe more people are willing)..nevertheless, it was a frustrating, exhausting job and I realized I had to adjust my mission to a more intimate level. I have done so many things since ( fund raising, design) but I have been so consumed lately with trying to find something that would fit.
Although, I am a mother and nothing is more rewarding (and exhausting) than being part of my two little indigo's journeys, the need to be a part of the shift on a more global level is what I am striving for.
If anyone has any suggestions I welcome your thoughts.
thank for listening to my ramble....

Hi Everyone,
No idea if anyone is still on this or not but I am currently trying to figure out what job to go in to. After browsing through posts I see a lot of you have shared the same feelings I am currently going through. Why can't we just create a new job? I dont like any of them that are out there so lets make new ones.

I think you have to find a balance between expressing your creativity and stand being a part of this awful capitalistic system: cus thats where the idea of "career" comes from. I'm sure we all know what we would like to do, if the concept of work didn't exist. Me personally have advanced in the humanities as a scholar - i can be creative and still pay my bills. Another option is to actually follow your dream, art, music, writing or what it may be, but have a job at the side to pay the bills. This have to be kind of a well paid job tho, where you don't have to work so many hours.
