My Blogging Introduction

Well here I go, my first blog post ever, I suppose everything has to have a beginning and this just so happens to be mine.
I would like to start by talking a bit about myself. Please stick with me here and dont go away yet through boredom.
As the "about me" part states, my name is Iain Geddes and I am 18 years young, I have just recentley finished my final year of school, or as some call it, the "best years of your life".
Its quite easy to understand how people would class it as being the best years of your life, but I only realised that after walking out my school for the final time.
Anyway, I live in north east Scotland in a town called Portlethen, it is roughly 5 mile's from Aberdeen city. It has its good points and bad points like many other places in this world, but thankfully it is a pretty nice area. I will blog about it later, but for now this is just the basics
As I have already mentioned I have just finished school and got my exam results through the door. They were not the best of results, failed 1 subject but passed the other 3.
I have had this ongoing problem of uncertainty in what I truly want to do in life, and this has been going on for what feels like an eternity now, truth being it has lasted 4 years. I guess the problem lies with choice, there is just so much choice these days in what you could do, the problem is deciding what to do and going for it.

I have thought on joining the police, bein a lawyer, becoming an I.T consultant, being a vet, to then being a; joiner, plumber, dog handler, zooologist, doctor etc... As you see, just a whole wide range of thoughts. Ironic thing is when I was young, I always thought getting into a career would be easy. Just choose the best job and do it, but you grow up and realise it just aint that easy.
The advice I have heard everywhere is "Do what you enjoy and what you are good at" so if I followed that advice I would be a guy who sits with his mates and chills, why ? because I enjoy being with my mates and I am good at 'chilling' (just relaxing to those of you who dont know)
I have always had a passion for making money as well, I mean money gets you things, things us humans want, things us humans need, things us humans live for. It seems like an ironic cycle though when you truly think on it, you work to make money, you use that money to live and to buy the occasional things you want, then you go back to work to make more money to repeat this cycle. It's just so sad that our whole world is so dominated by money, I always said it's only a piece of paper, but then when you think on it, everything is a piece of paper these days; Birth Certificate, School Records, Exam Results, Insurance Documents, Marriage and Divorce Papers etc..
My money making passions have led me into a few things, all online. I created an ebay account a long time ago now and since then have sold hundreds of things all to generate some sort of income. I also have done online surveys and wrote online reviews which has boosted my money although not by a significant amount. I am one of those people who always think there is a better way to work, I would hate to be like a sheep and follow the majority of people by working a 9-5 routine for a boss. I just always think there must be a better way, problem is I havent found it yet.
I would love an online business or some sort of way to generate a constant income online, I have looked into many things from dropshipping, importing, exporting and online marketing, but just havent came across anything for sure yet.
Well thats about it for now, this was just meant as a sort of introduction to myself and my life. I will be posting much more soon, but for now this will have to do. Thanks for reading this far down, I really do appreciate it and would love to hear from anyone who has read this. I am rather new to this blogging but soon enough I will have got the hang of it all :D
