A Seeker [Viable Life Direction For Young People]

A Seeker. Ronin. Freeter.

A person who is "restless" and does not learn or grow by sitting still and looking up at a blackboard.

Seeking People, Not Professions

The Seeker seeks out "People", not "Professions."

"Anybody Can Do Anything When They're Believed In."

The Seeker seeks out people, out there in the wide world, who are
eager, open, generous
people who genuinely want to pass on their knowledge to others.

I call them True Teachers.
They make learning a pleasure.

The Seeker seeks out these people because they make learning the joy it should be,
they make life the rich and exciting experience it should be.

The Seeker : Personality

A Seeker is a person who does not learn well in a 9-5, predictable environment, philosophy.

They are Adventurers, they learn by doing new and exciting things.

The Motorcycle

The Motorcycle is a symbol of A Seeker.
It is the modern day horse.
With few possessions, A Seeker travels the world seeking people who genuinely want to share their knowledge and life.

The "Traditional" (Stagnant, Staid) Growth Path

Going to school.
Going to university.
Working in "jobs".
Rigid.
Inflexible.
Robotic.
Assembly-Line mentality.

The Seeker is a better path for a person.

The Test

There is a simple test to demonstrate that the "Traditional Path" gives a person very little.
Give a person one of the "tests" they passed in school or university a little while after the fact and see if they can pass.
They likely cannot.
People study for tests, not for knowledge.
It is a crusty, backwards way of cementing knowledge.

Learn By Experience, Not By Study

Learn by doing, Not by reading about doing in a book.

An Alternative To Conventional Career/Life Paths

Young people who find that the traditional schooling path is unsatisfying (which would sadly be the majority of people) would be encouraged to try many different jobs and experiences.

This would be the adventurer's life.
Learning by doing countless different things.

A "Viable" And "Acceptable" Alternative

It is vitally important that people feel "accepted" and "acknowledged" by their fellow human beings.

A Seeker would be welcomed by their society and understood as being someone who does not do well in a traditional learning setting.

Seekers would be encouraged to keep trying new jobs and experiences for as long as they need to until they one day feel "settled".
