#数字资产市场动态 On January 21st, I made up my mind to invest another $100 to trade, planning to stick to daily journaling.

People start to feel lost in their twenties. The owner of a noodle shop I previously interacted with approached me, saying I could learn a craft there. The base salary is 3,000 yuan, including meals and accommodation, and he would top up an additional 1,000 yuan. Basically, this covers my monthly living expenses. This guy started as an apprentice himself—spent half a year learning skills, then when he opened his shop, the owner contributed 80% of the capital, he put in 20%. Before breaking even, profits were split 80/20; after breaking even, he took 80% of the profits, and the owner took 20%. Last month, he told me that after deducting all costs, his net profit was 210,000 yuan, and he had already recouped his investment. The shop has been open for nearly a year. He said he could cooperate with me under this model, but the premise is being prepared for long-term hardship, as quick cashing out is difficult.

Currently, I am on a leave of absence from school, with the opportunity to return and pursue a diploma. School is quite comfortable—ample time for trading, working out, and no pressure.

My current situation is relying on delivering food to pay off debts and maintain basic living expenses. Winter income is indeed not ideal, but the advantage is having freedom and the ability to calmly think about the future.

I am torn between three paths: trading, learning a craft, or continuing my studies. I am also asking myself what I truly want. Hope experienced seniors who have gone through similar crossroads can share some thoughts.
