Do you really think you go through life with absolute free will?

Take religion out of the equation for a second.

Can you really be anything you want? Are there some jobs you want to do and can’t? Skills? Other abilities? Why or why not? Discuss.

Do you really think you go through life with absolute free will?

Of course not. There are always limits, restrictions on what you can do.
But every once in a while you have to make a decision on something or another.
Depending on your situation and preferences the choice can go one way or the other.
You can choose wisely, or not. It's up to you.

Many of the "better" choices (by some definition) often require more effort and risk than we are willing to endure.
No I can't be anything I want but I can try.
My talents, interests, ambition and good sense will hopefully direct me to something I can do.

It's not 100% free will, one also has to be practical.
But I'm not locked in to one single path either.
