I have no idea on what career I want to do. I am not really good at anything. I have to figure out what I want to do now because i'm starting college this fall. When ever I take those surveys to find out what careers best fit you, my results always include that I am more of a creative person. The only problem, is that most jobs today seem like they don't pay much for being creative unless you are REALLY good. I am mediocre when it comes to web designing, drawing, and writing stories. I'm no good.
I did want to be a psychiatrist but I stink at talking to people. I get very nervous around people I don't know. And I am thinking about becoming an accountant but I am horrible at math and critical thinking. I just finished taking a skills test, and my results were horrible. They said that I could be a maid, or a restaurant waitress. That just took a large toll of my self-esteem. =( When people siad that I am smart, they were lying... I just don't know what to do. I really don't want to just pick any career and end up hating it. I want a career that I know that i'll like. If you ever were in my position, what did you do to figure out what career fits you the best? |

Well the thing is that even though I love art and writing and such, I'm not motivated enough to make a career out of it (right now, anyways). The moment I get a block or lack inspiration or just don't feel like finishing something, I tend to just scrap it instead of powering through.
I'm still considering sticking through with premed, but I'm not sure about that either. I just need to take some time into thinking about what I want, figuring out how to do it, whether i want it enough to do what it takes, then do it. I figure I have some time before I go back to school. |
