I have had the same feelings in my own industry but mine does not seek celebrityship. I have a degree in the social sciences and sought to change the world for some better. Everything I have tried to do (including many many years of volunteering for everything from youth programs, to senior homes, to political rallies, to fundraising) has not resulted in anything of value for me. I am still stuck in minimum wage work doing retail and restaurant...simply being told what I DON'T have instead of what qualities I DO have.

I can sympathize with you. Everything I have sought career counselling for has said go back to school for something extra. I have four trades, a college diploma and a university degree and there are still certifications they are asking for that were not included in the programs that only companies pay for if you are hired. Why don't the school programs include these certifications in there courses so the students are better prepared to compete? The last time they told me to go back to school again I nearly lost my temper.

It is up to ourselves mostly to re-teach ourselves that we have value in this world. I even have a motto on a jacket of mine that says "We are all valued people" We just need to find out from friends and loved ones now and then what we are valued for.

Perhaps a bit of independent social media marketing might help. I wish you luck and support. I hope you can find your self worth again. To find worth in one's self is more important than worth to others.When we see worth in ourselves we portray that outward better to others. I am just coming out of that agony myself. Still searching some though.
