Can you help me choose a career?

We Answered:

Maybe a high school guidance counselor? Or just a counselor in general, since you said you like to help people, and that you have been a great dad. However besides helping you would have to plan out their classes and have deadlines, such as making sure your kids have their graduation requirements etc etc, all depending on the size of the school. If it's a small school it should be okay.

However.. I just read the line that you don't want to spend too much in that field so..

For the writing, what about writing reviews for websites? I don't know too much about the field.. but it's an idea and you could make money off of it, and write about anything. It could be something that's interesting, and you'd write about it and give it to a website. Or just work for one. OR.. you can have your own blog within a website. Like if you have ever been to cnn.com, there are blogs of people just reiterating what has been going on in the news and their opinions.. but just a thought.

Am I being bullied here or should I just get a life?

I think you need an advocate who knows your entire history both personal and medical, who can intercede for you with others when you are not able to do so. Since I am an American I don't know anything about the mental health system in Briton or what social services are available, but maybe you can research this online. If you cannot find anything you qualify for perhaps you can get a pastor or minister to act on your behalf. I don't think you need this pressure from your mother's friends who obviously don't know what they are talking about. I am somewhat surprised your mother is allowing these people to treat you this way but perhaps she is afraid of losing their support either emotionally or otherwise. In any case, it looks like you are going to have to take some steps yourself to obtain some support. While this may be difficult for you, the reward would be to get these people off your back and even perhaps on your side once someone whom they respect champions your cause. I think you should do this as soon as you possibly can as it might take a while to find someone, and then get them up to speed on your situation. Meanwhile, it looks like your situation at home is escalating and I don't see these people backing off on their own. Good luck to you.

I don't know what to do with my life. How did you choose your career?

We Answered:

Wow, I always wondered about people who stayed in school and then didn't get into what they researched and studied for. I completely agree with Jellebene, Do what you love and the money will follow, although it may take a long time.

I worked at a Starbucks coffee shop for about 8 1/2 yrs. Even did management. I'm very good with customer service but I just couldn't take the stress anymore. My hours were all over the place, seeing my kids was a problem because of it.

I remember talking to a customer who worked for a production company and he got a friend hired there. Well a year later, I'm working there too and I absolutely love it. It even pays better then Star F&%$. It just doesn't have the benefits the coffee place did. But now I go to Vegas once a year and have weekends off, And work 40 hrs a week with no overtime......It's Adult Production by the way..who knew!



I wish you the best. Maybe you should try your hand at journalism. Write for a column or be an entertainment reporter. I'm sure you'll be able to get scrpts in that way.
