Re: Questions/Advice Thread

[kaijinscendre]

This is a broad and sort of useless questions, but how do people decide what they want to do as a career? As I've complained often, I hate my job. As soon as I can get my driver's license and a car, I am quitting.

I have a Bachelor's in Special Education but I hate teaching. I thought about going to get a Master's in something (I thought about Library Sciences because librarians get paid well and I could work with kids without being a teacher). Or just working in a small bakery but that seems more like a job and not something I could see me doing for the rest of my life.

Any opinions welcome. I got a couple months before I can leave my job. :(

That's where most careers start, though? Most people don't just 'decide' what they're going to do for the rest of their life. You pretty much just have to get out their and start trying stuff, especially if you already went to school and discovered you hated what you picked.

idk what you don't like about being a teacher, but I used to know a librarian and afaik it's a lot of the same challenges (work politics, public speaking, babysitting) with the added bonus of there being, like, negative demand for librarians. She had to volunteer at a library for iirc three years after completing school before she even got hired for a part-time gig.

Hm. That may be a location thing? Looking at some of the libraries in larger cities around me there are 4-5 job openings for full time librarian staff.

I think these days you kind of have to be more brutal and practical. Very few people can make a living doing what they love. Power to those who can, but most of us can't reasonably expect it. So basically we have to figure out

1) what kind of lifestyle do you want
2) what kind of job pays enough for that lifestyle
3) what kind of skills do you have or can acquire at the lowest possible cost/effort
4) what kind of jobs can you tolerate doing for the longerm
5) the Venn diagram overlap of 2, 3, and 4.

I guess I just want to find a job that doesn't make me sort of want to die. Which is the situation I am in now.

1) I am a super frugal penny pincher and will have a roommate.
2) Probably many jobs not in the shit town I live in.
3) Not sure so will have to research.
4) Just about anything that isn't the job I have now
5) Will work on. :P
