I just wanna talk about my job search tbh but please other people use this for your job venting/discussion/questions

In college I majored in visual arts, drawing and painting. I’m good at painting, but in the years since I’ve graduated all I’ve done is work low paying, entry level jobs. I still want to paint and maybe go to grad school eventually, but working these jobs has a. Not paid enough (paint is expensive) and b. Taken up so much time and energy I can’t do anything art related. That plus a worsening mental condition has lead me to the conclusion that I need to think of something I can do that isn’t art that I would still feel good about and be good at. For a long time I only felt like I was good at art, and literally nothing else. A few weeks ago I thought of one other possibility- working with animals somehow. I love animals, and I think I’m good with them (and my friends and family have told me they agree?), so maybe if I were interacting with them on a daily basis I wouldn’t feel so crushed and exhausted by working?

It feels dumb though - like I’m just a hopeless cliche and I’m going to fail at this too :( Idk,
I’ve just started looking into it and don’t know exactly what I want to do with animals yet, but I feel like I have to change something.

Why not try? I love animals. I personally prefer to keep it as a hobby so it is what I can escape from work with. But I think working with animals could be amazingly good for some people. You don't know if you are going to fail until you try.

Also, if you don't already, start volunteering at your local shelter. Most of them are always looking for volunteers, and it may give you a feel for if you really want to work with animals.

Ayrt - yep I started looking into volunteering today. My schedule was super all over the place for a while but my most recent job has said they are going to give me a regular weekly schedule soon so hopefully that should make it easier.

Have you thought about doing therapy or something? Art therapy AND animal therapy are both valid career choices.

Ayrt - I’ve thought about it but the main problem with that is that would be a lot more expensive schooling. Plus I need a therapist, I definitely couldn’t be one at this point in my life at least

Hopefully you can volunteer someplace and work with animals, anon! I studied what I loved in college, but now I work in special ed. I do love my kids and most days are great, but then there are days like today where my plans went out the window because a student was beating herself up so badly that she busted her lip and bit through the skin of her hand and I had to tend to her wounds as she attacked me. That's when I wonder what the hell I'm doing there, but then I go home and do some yoga and writing to take care of my mental health and I feel like I can face another day.

Still job searching. And since I'll b on bedrest for 6 weeks, I'm a bit confused as to what I should do. Should I go ahead and apply for stuff now or wait until it is the last few weeks of my rcovery?

I've been unemployed for a long-ass time and the job market where I live SUCKS and my job service agency SUCKS and I try not to complain too much because I'm really lucky because my parents are willing and able to support me but OH MY GOD I REALLY WANT A JOB

Same.

At this point I'm like "If something happens, it does. If it doesn't, at least I can say I tried"

"Also, fuck panama city."

Still enjoying my job but I hate how my bosses keep wanting me to cross train on other stuff but the person cross training me is never available.

I am sick and tired of employers requiring 6 months to 2 years experience for entry-level positions.
