>>213338612>why? what happened?For the military, my plan was to become a French Foreign Legionnaire. I spent two years physically training for it and studying French, and really wanted to commit myself to it given I come from a military family whose history goes back to the middle ages and ends after Vietnam. I went there last year to join, and after 2.5 weeks they decided they didn't want me.
So then I decided to go the business route, because I thought I had an opportunity in a lakeside Minnesota tourist town I spent a lot of time in growing up. The old, historical, three theater cinema there had been closed down since COVID, so I managed to get into contact with the guy who owned the property to see what the deal was. After a while of talking to him, it seemed like he was interested in reopening the place and wanted me to work there given I knew the area well and had an interest in film. So I got a job at a local theater chain to get experience in the industry.
But after several months working there, the guy just kept giving me the same canned responses and implied he didn't give a shit about me or the theater, so that fell apart as quick as it popped up despite looking promising.
So here I am now, doing my wagie job and saving up before I head back to school.
