I have to take a job that I feel is beneath me...

[Mr.G]

Wow, you've been a farmer?

No, I can't claim that exactly

It was my first job, a local farm center, family owned for multiple generations (not my fam).

Working there was fairly strenuous and physical; but I developed many skills, and learned important lessons about life while I was there.

Is there already a thread asking "what was your first job?"?

For most Americans:
Before college: McDonalds or Wal-Mart
After college: Starbucks or Target

I'm just too old to ever make it or be discovered. I have decent art, though. I think I will just have to work with the masses. Its not that I'm a snob or anything, it's just that its hard to do a job that isn't really who you are.

I think you're insecure about your age. You're not old and can still achieve great things. Use this opportunity as a stepping stone.

In life you rarely get things exactly as you wish them to be

You have to find the optimal mean between what would be the ideal case and what is achievable in reality

I wish you good luck. I hope you make the breakthrough. Why dont you apply in bars to sing country songs, and such. Apply for TV shows, in germany there are music competitions, like DSDS (Deutschland sucht den Superstar). You can apply and you compete with others, if you are once on TV you will become famous even if you dont win the first prize.

You've been very courageous! I know how hard it is.

"Work with the masses"?

You do sound like a bit of an entitled snob.
That said, welcome to the real world.
