I never wanted to sell gold in a stupid shop

From the very beginnings of my life I have always been an ambitious person. As a child I always tried to do my best to be better than my peers in every aspect of life. I had to be the best football player, I had to have the best clothes and had to win in anything we used to play with friends. Later on at school I always strived after the best notes. I wanted to be the best in everything I was involved in. These ambitions quickly had to meet a wall made of concrete. We did not have enough money for me to go away from home to study. I had to stay at home and get a job as soon as possible after graduating from high school. All my teachers advised me to continue my education but I simply couldnt fulfill those expectations. The first offer I was given by my father was for me to sell gold and silver jewelry in a shop run by his old friend. I am about to begin in a week and I dont know what to do. I dont want to sell gold and silver items in a stupid shop and earn a minimum wage... They say I will not be responsible for big cash for gold trades at the beginning. But later on, dealing with cash for gold wont omit me. I cannot believe that instead of learning and widening my educational horizons I will sit in a shop and sell gold like somebody in his late sixties...
