I am a 21-year-old male (well, turning 21 soon).
From the age of 15, I have worked the following jobs:
Grocery Store Clerk (9 months)
Door-to-Door Canvasser (two summers)
Intern at Recording Studio (5 months, co-op)
Assistant to Grad student (4 months)
Research/all-around help for small business (5 months, on-going)
+ several odd jobs
I have completed a year and a half of university. Then, I dropped out for two years. I have since returned (this summer, so far).
My main issue is that I don't know what I should do next. I do not know what sort of job or career I can realistically get and will enjoy. I enjoy writing, making music, computer programming. I have several interests, ranging from linguistics, to art, to physics, to math, etc. I have found that a school environment doesn't suit me well.
How can I pursue a career in what I enjoy and still be able to support myself financially? This question has plagued me a long time and I have yet to receive a satisfactory answer. I do my best to improve my situation but this overreaching anxiety causes me to feel defeated lots of the time.
Thanks.
