Default Help & Advice

Hey

Guys ive got a bit of a dilemma and its kinda stressing me out a bit

I went for an interview last week at Silverstone at the Tresham Institue (National College for Motorsport) for a level 2 motorsport course. And ive had a letter back today confirming that ive got a place on the course.

Now your probably thinking whats the dilemma, amazing opertunity just take it!

Now im 21 and should be earning some wonger. And im not, but if I take this course its gunna be about 4 years'ish give or take until im earning full whack, now ive got a gf to think about which im confident that will be my potential wife. So ive got her to consider but shes doing fashion design at uni and has just finished her 2nd year, and she is fapping good at what she does.

Also if I decide to go into motorsport, its a highly stressful, highly paid job but will be away from home so theres obviously risks involved and puts stress on the relationship. Do I need to stop thinking about "Us" as a couple we have only been together for 10 months so its not a massively long time, but I am committed to her and would not like to lose her because of me working long hours.

So really do I take it because its the place for motorsport in the country to be accepted into, or do I just find a normal average paid job to get me some money. Or wait it out at Silverstone to be earning some mega wonger and get to be around race cars all the time?

Any comments, advice, help anything what so ever would help

Cheers

Drew

I'm not slating your relationship at all, but at 21 you can't be 100% sure this is the girl you will marry and 10 months as you say isn't long - but if you love each other she will support you

My view is go for the place - if you take a mediocre job you may just regret it for the rest of your life..

Thats it in a nutshell

Its not even a question

If you dont do the course because of her, it will eventually surface as resentment somewhere along the line.

You have to be happy yourself before you can make someone else happy

Most people at 21 are 'in love' after 10 minutes let alone 10 months.

If she sees something in you, she'll definitely still want to be around when you're ''race qualified''.....she must be into cars in some way to be with you with your current level of interest.

Do you slate her if she's transfixed watching Gok's fashion show.? Or do you like the fact you get to see a reasonable amount of young models associated with her job.............

Take the course, otherwise you'll always be thinking what if...........IMHO

Life is too short for "what if's" etc etc. If she is the "one" for you, she will be there all the while your on the course.

Do the course. At the end of the day it could be one of the biggest regrets later in life if you dont.

Women are like cars, they become old, fucked and get traded in

Be selfish and think about you, Short term it may not feel the best, but long term it will BE the best.

do the course, if she loves you she'll stay

Speaking as a fully qualified elder statesman I can only offer this advice and you, being younger and smarter (as all young people are) can choose to ignore it:

"Regret the things you do, not the things you don't"

My biggest regret is not getting a qualification in something - anything. Once you have it, you can decide whether or not to use it, but they can't take it away.

I've made and continue to make good enough money, but just know I could have done so much more with my life if I had just taken a longer term view when I was your age.

What would you do in a few years time if the relationship failed because she cheated on you, and left you with nothing. You'll regret not doing this for the rest of your life. I thought my Girlfriend was the one nearly 2 years in. She wasn't.

At 21 you need to put yourself first, and hope the rest will follow.

This is a no brainer mate! Do it! If you split up over it down the line, it wasn't meant to be. if she is bothered about you, she will stick with it regardless.

I wish i had the chance to do something like that, id drop everything in a second at the moment.
