Something Unconventional...


Question Posted Thursday May 11 2006, 11:48 pm

22/F

I'm an extremely creative and unique individual and I need some career ideas. I've tried so many different things on I'm getting really discouraged. Nothing seems to "fit". I'm very artistic and thoughtful, I don't want just any old job. I'm not very intersted in going to a 4 year college. I would be interested in going for a 2 year degree. or any type of course work, trade school. But I could change my mind if the right thing came along. I know I don't want to do anything medical or anything related to mathematics, i've ruled that out for sure. This probably sounds ridiculous, but I have no direction and I'm out of ideas. I know I can't live off artwork.

You could always stall. No one says you have to pick a career right away. Why don't you travel for a bit first- you could see the world while you have the chance, plus you might be inspired while you're doing it. You'll be exposed to a large segment of life and culture you wouldn't previously have experienced.

Hell, s'what I did.

Have you thought of going to a technical school? Like video programming or something in that field. If you like art find an art school. Or become a teacher and teach art classes.

I know there are many things out there now and it really is hard to decide. I am having that problem myself but then again I am just not ready to do it.

You just need to really find your one true passion and go for it. Sometimes that doesnt work and it can always be a hobby. If it doesnt work for you then find something you are really good at. If you dont have your heart in it nothing is going to seem right.

You will figure it out. Just take a deep breath and relax. Write down all the things you are really good at and all the things that make you happy when you do them. Then look around for classes in those areas.

Good luck,

Sassie
