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.Sinistro wrote:
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).
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.awp wrote:
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.
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.Faust wrote:
Dear Vext.
EDIT: Turned out wrong, too lazy to fix now.
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.intermu wrote:

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.Shellghost wrote:
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.
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.Vext wrote:

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.ddrXero64 wrote:

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 wrote:
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.
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.ddrXero64 wrote:
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.
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.Cuddlebun wrote:

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)ddrXero64 wrote:
