I think volunteering is a great idea. If you can volunteer to get some experience in the field you're looking to get into, that would look great on your resume. Not to mention, you can keep an eye out for a job opening up in that company. They'll also be able to write you letters of recommendation and give good work references. I highly recommend volunteering while you're still in school. Not to mention, it'll probably help your self esteem and self worth out!

You are not worthless at all. And if I remember correctly from your other thread, you want to get into nursing? That is such a great job -- nurses are more important than doctors! They help so many people and their families. And if you live in the US, the new healthcare system is probably going to create an even bigger need for nurses than their already is (my husband worked in healthcare and said that a lot of nurses are about to retire so the work force is getting thin).

Everything Lee said in her first post is true. You are worthwhile, deserving of love and happiness, you are a great, wonderful person!
