I'm thinking about dressing up like a clown and making balloon animals and kids parties on weekends. When I go home I'll kick my dog because I feel like such a loser.
Why do you want to work as a clown?
Because I want to be like my dad.
It can be depressing to have a dead end job, but you shouldn't take out your negative feelings on our pets. Hurting your pets is cruel and can even get you in legal trouble. If you don't like your job, then put your efforts into finding a new path for yourself.
My dog won't care.
Your dog will care; kicking your dog is actually a pretty big deal and you shouldn't do it. A job making people happy seems great, but if you don't like it, there are tons of jobs open right now and you can find something better.
