What's up everyone!

I am confused about my future (currently 22 years old). So many opportunities, not much time to do them all. I would appreciate some help/ideas on what to do. Being stuck in this part of my journey for a while now.

I am studying mechanical engineering and I am doing my last year for a B.S. in a "good" engineering university. I am studying pick-up [learning how to be better with women. If you want some info about it let me know, I consider myself pretty knowledgeable in that area]. I do flipping on ebay [go to thrift stores and buy cheap stuff and resell them at a higher price]. I workout and play soccer.

Honestly, I love doing all those things (especially pick-up and soccer). Sitting down and doing engineering problems gets me in a flow state [time passes so quick without me noticing and I just enjoy engineering. It is amazing]. Flipping is exciting, because I get to earn money from used thing. That feeling when you sell something that you bought super cheap and you earn good money on it, feels cool :)

Soooo I dedicate my time to too many things. I want to join the fastlane line. BUT I THINK I am chasing the money, instead of doing it for fun. I always decide on something and change my mind in between 2-4 weeks. Maybe it is the fear of failure that I don't want to accept [Even though it is funny since I do pick-up and I get rejected so many times and do not care]. Some ideas I have (but I haven't executed) are:

- Keep doing the engineering thing (which I think this one sounds better and less risky :p) and get some experience in the field. As I get experience with engineering I will try and focus on how I can make things better. After that, I will try to find something the engineering industry is not doing right and make it better. Becoming my own boss and creating something new. If I fail, I keep being an engineer (which sounds pretty safe). BUT I know safe will not get me to be at the top.

- Keep doing the flipping thing. See how far I can get with it and start an eCommerce company. Shopify, Amazon or wherever else.

- Become a pick-up instructor in the spanish language as it is not that big in the hispanic community. Build products for South America/Central America/Mexico. But at the same time doing those things down in the South can be somewhat dangerous.

- I also want to do something with social media, but don't know where to start.

Also, I want to finish my degree, because my parents have done so much for me (only one year left). That is how I want to pay them back.

Thank you and I would really appreciate your feedback! or any other thing you want to tell me.
If you need any help with pick-up and/or healthy eating I will be glad to help you out.
Just hit me up :)
