go into programming and make osu2!

I advised medical, but he seems to have done bad in veterinarian care, which has a lot of medical equipment to work with.

I said gay porn because he said in all seriousness he'd do it. This means it wouldn't have been done in depravity. Out of everyone I know and everyone I've met I've only had one transgender friend (long time DDR player I knew, had a sex change in the past year). She (was a he before) recently admitted she was going into the adult film industry because it was something she wanted to do.

Before this person I thought this industry was full of sorry failures, but there are actually people who enjoy that stuff. I could never imagine enjoying something as crude as that, but to each his own. So if he would actually enjoy doing it, for 5,000$ a short film why not let him do it? Not our place to judge.

For the tl;dr version:

If you actually wouldn't mind doing adult film, do it. If not, stick to medical, like I said before. The world will never have enough medical workers, so they could always use more people to make the world a healthier place.

Note: Healthcare provides a huge amount of positions, it's one of the most vaguest careers. So look into everything, not just what you're used to seeing.

Be a veterinarian.

What Loginer said takes precedence imo, in that you should consider retrying career paths you've tried before (and enjoyed while they lasted, preferably) instead of writing them off after they didn't work out once (I'm assuming you tried each about once because you're young and there's a lot of them).

Couple points. One, not to discredit it, but you can't let that osu! newsletter rejection mean anything. It's not a professional establishment and you're pandering to people who in all likelihood have less experience with the subject matter than yourself.

What Loginer has said thus far can be taken as sage advice. You lack motivation and commitment - this is evident in the laundry list of things you've dabbled in. It can be tough to find something you're interested in enough to consider a career in it, but don't let job security be your primary criteria. It's very important that you find something you enjoy doing, and stick with it. Even if you can get a job doing something you don't enjoy, it's really not worth your while.

just do what you enjoy doing

enjoying something will give you some degree of proficiency in it and if you enjoy it enough, you may just be able to make money out of it

i'm majoring in psychology which vaguely interests me only because i can't take linguistics at my current college. i'm only using psychology as a buffer for a postgraduate degree

I'm not sure what age you actually are, but i do know that Law enforcement tends to deny younger applicants simply because they're young.

This can vary, but it's usually due to you not having an opimal amount of life experience in their eyes.

Or now that I think about it, get a certification to teach English as a second language and move to other countries to teach English! Should be lots of fun, and you get a fresh breath of air as well.
ddrXero64
Jeez, that's right. Did you try education? Try learning to teach something you already know rather than learning to do something you have difficulty with.

Long again.

@ gay porn

Honestly I wouldn't pass it up (not gay, but not like I care either). However I think I'- 5k a pop you say....I need to get some hot gay guy abs I think... kekeke.

@Healthcare

Well when I did the vet deal, part of the thing I couldn't stand was the suffering animal situation, while volunteering I now no longer am near that because it just gets to me seeing it. I pretty much gathered that doctor/nurse would have the same effect. The idea of a medical field behind the scenes however is something I hadn't considered, I will add that to things to look into, thank you.

Programming already on the list.

Well, problem with it is the things I enjoy I can still do. I DO, do landscaping for my grandmother and uncle because they are too sick/old to take care of it themselves, I enjoy it enough to make a career though I don't think in the cards. The writing I still can do, nothing prevents a person from blogging or writing fanfic or really anything creative. However it's not always possible to make a career of it.

I agree, I'm not going to be doing a job I hate for stability. The reason I tried everything I did was because it held a portion of interest to me. Same with every suggestion on here, if it's not something that's for me then I won't bother.

Hah, brings to mind Bruce Almighty where he's begging for a sign from god of what to do and a giant truck full of stop signs pulls in front of him, only to ignore it and speed past crashing his car. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered teaching.

This is actually one thing I want to pursue and that I have actually considered. The idea of it sounds highly appealing to me. The only problem is I would have to wait since locally I cannot take a few classes that I would need and I would have to move for those and then eventually for the job and at the moment I can't do that because of family problems that rely on me.

Yes, part of the problem as well is that around here most every county law enforcement job is being laid off, so getting hired is several times more difficult. It's not impossible, though I just don't feel it worth the large amount of work it would take seeing as how I only somewhat liked it.

That's the problem, and Loginer has said it already. When it comes down to it, you're being picky. This isn't dinner, it's your life, you need a little more motivation. Not much more anyone here can do but tell you that.

I agree I need more motivation but that's not the point here. You claim because it is life you can't be fickle, however life is a long term commitment and not a short trial. I disagree and declare you SHOULD be picky when choosing a career to set the rest of your life in motion rather than hopping on the first train because it's convenient. Also, I was saying it's not THAT interesting as in "I could do it if I have to but it doesn't wow me". So no, motivation will not help in any way with something I'm not wild about considering the long educational experience needed+ effort and luck required to wrangle the job.

tldr; version of the above post (yes, I read the whole thing first)
SPOILER
Vext is talking about choosing a career and not so much a job.

A life (is like a career and) isn't a short trial, but it is a life long commitment.

Motivation will not help when it also relies on dedication and interest.

He is capable of learning how to do things, but he is not interested in doing everything.

ddrXero64's point of view is: (and Loginer?)

You need to choose something already. Although, this would make sense if it was a job rather than a career.

Don't give up. Some people have no idea what they want to do in college anyways.
intermu
Hell, I don't for one.
ddrXero64
Hm.

What I don't understand is how you're able to be so picky and still afford trying all these classes. Some people have no choice but to know what they want to do before they jump into it, because they can only afford trying one major.

I'm not talking about motivation, I'm talking about being picky. Some people can't imagine having the chance to try even three different careers, yet you've tried so many and are still picky about what you want to do. Every time you change your mind you've wasted another load of money, whether it comes out of your pocket or the government. Research your interests and find what you want to do instead of just trying it.

I think knowing that you can try a class without making a sacrifice is making you lose motivation. If I told you that you had one shot to try a career you'd be a little more motivated to complete it, because there would be more at stake.

You have a lot of opportunities some people only dream of, take advantage and just choose something. Some people rather have a long life commitment of a career they didn't fully like than to work a minimum wage job the rest of their life.

Wut? Haven't taken classes for all of these as stated previously many of these were volunteer programs in the field. Only classes I had ready to do were the ones I spoke of.
ddrXero64
Wait really? So then Loginer has the best point here. You can't get a feel for a career through simple volunteering, no matter how much you volunteer. Wow, lol, you should have specified "dabbled." I bet you haven't even scratched the surface of some of careers you're interested in, go take a class on something you know you liked such as landscaping. Any volunteer program in landscaping I highly doubt actually taught you the essentials, and the good stuff is all in the classrooms. I think you'll have fun by revisiting landscaping, usually the guy with the degree does less of the minimum wage labor and more of the leading and designing.

This whole time dabbled meant volunteer, you really shouldn't give up if you've only touched each career.

See the problem here is you write a lot but you don't read. I've stated about 5 times so far that my doctor advised against landscaping.
Cuddlebun
he was more using landscaping as an example

as in, what he said about landscaping could be applied to the other suggestions






but then again I'm kinda not reading the posts of either of you two

I'm being serious when I say it doesn't feel like an average day without Cuddlebun taking a shot at me. Ahhh sweet normalcy.

Tode may be normal (in her own terms), but this Off-Topic thread is actually On-Topic.

That's not so normal.

I'm being serious a lot more than usual! Dx

Well before it's locked, what are your final decisions? Will you revisit one, go after a new one? I still wanna know. Gives this thread a sense of closure lmao

Going to take some of the better advice and keep the classes going and attend when they finally open up a spot. Even if it is not a career and a hopeless dream, I still want to learn it so I will. In the meantime I'll be looking into a few of the suggestions posted. (the classes would also assist in teaching english somewhere else as well)

Lock and wock and lasteland are quite different.

Nah, I don't think it needs a lock. Maybe you'll want to let us know how things worked out some time in the future.

If there's any shitty off-topic posts I'll just delete them and lock it, but I doubt it.

Good luck, Vext.
