RB, you are still fairly young... so yes, you have your chance. Can't work right now? Well, that's the right time for soul-searching... and looking for omens. You may be stable enough to get boring job in another year or two. And confident enough too.

Blackpup... of course there are limits. But there are real limits (I can't be a pope and I can't be president of the USA, chances are not even president of Czechlands, I can't run marathons or be a pop star cause I can't sing or be obnoxious enough to make up for it; I am not good at maths, so I went to study international relations)... and then there are self imposed limits (as in "girls don't do this" and "I am bipolar so I cannot do nothing basically"). Many people live by self-imposed limits. And it can piss me off when I read "award winning bloggers" telling you that you cannot have fun on New Year's Eve, because one drink and staying up "late" (1:00PM ) will land you in hospital or worse... and so on.
Bad choice? Who is to decide? If it's not "darwin award" bad choice or something glaringly obvious... we probably cannot judge. Many would probably say I am making the worst choices too.
