Stuck In Life

[Alex_H]

I am sorry about the loss of your mother.

You do not have to rush to start your life, and I think right now you need to heal.

The minute someone turns 18 is not a guarantee that they are ready for college or have thier entire life planned out…nor is 22.

I would take the advice of the other posters and also know that a history interest translates to many careers…if you are deficient in math, you can take a .55 and.75 math review course at the community college to bring you up in this area.

In the meantime, perhaps volunteer and serve others, as this is a way to recognise the good in oneself and will expose yourself to opportunities.u can also work part time until things settle for you.

I don’t do that well at those. I think I might have a math-only learning disability lol.

I’m so sorry about your mother. Please don’t lose hope. It’s really not uncommon for people in their early 20’s to not know what they want to do or to have little sense of what they might be good at career wise. I’m 28 and only halfway through university. I had very little direction in my early 20’s. I did a few courses but didn’t really know what career I wanted. Eventually I decided to go and become a teacher. I had to go back to university and start from scratch but I love it.

I’m sure you’ll find something that you’d like as a career. You have plenty of time.

I am also seriously thinking of leaving my job but also worry about my CV making me look uncommitted, I have never been in a job for more than a few years although the last job I left was due to relocation.

I think you need to set yourself some short term realistic goals for now and try not to worry too much about the future.
