My motivation is I can’t go through another year of people asking me: How’s the studying going? Are you feeling confident? When is the exam again? How did the exam go? When are you gonna get your grades? Did you get your grades? How come you don’t have your grades yet, it’s a multiple choice exam?..

I’m in this boat. The whole aversion of the negative as opposed to aspirations to the positive. I guess studying each night is much more tangible than a perceived job opportunity years in the future once you have your charter. Bit of both is probably where reality lies. Hobos are not only tangible but pungent too, so that probably multiplies the effect.
But American hobos are cool, are they not? Don’t they live a life of riding on the rails in open boxcars? Of travelling from small town to small town meeting new people and performing simple, honest manual jobs for food and board? Don’t they sit around campfires telling stories? British “hobos” (although we don’t use the word) are different…they stand outside shoppinc centres selling the Big Issue and pretending the one in their hand is their last copy. Or they lie in subways smelling of piss.
