Plus you have nothing to lose, really.
I don't really understand why your college degree is useless....All jobs are difficult to come by and you may have to do something you don't like until you are able to get a job in your desired field.
My son is an incredible artist, and right now he's working as a kennel attendant 
Also living at home.....(it's just the way of things now..)
But, slowly, his work is getting out there. |
I know, I just think it's exceptionally hard to find something with what I studied. It's all good I guess- I'm probably either going to teach abroad or move to a new location regardless. It's really hard to leave my family and friends, as I love everyone, but I just don't like where I live and the opportunities are very limited. Plus, seasonal affective disorder has really messed with me.
As far as online dating, I've done it before, (it's actually how I met this last girl), and will continue to do so. It's hard when I'm not on my feet, one of the main things girls look for as I get older is self sustainability (or "maturity"). I don't think it's fair for a guy like me, but that's just how it is.
I'm just trying to justify and cope with my high sensitivity, as I try to justify a lot of things, I guess!
P.S.- best of luck to your son, he sounds like a great guy!

I've considered social work, but for some reason I don't see it, and I can't go into something with a huge monetary investment without at least 65% certainty. (preferably 70-80% though) Believe me I thought it over!
I feel like I'm just a very rare type of person who has difficulty coping with a lot of societal standard fare. I love being unique and out of the norm, but I feel like society just doesn't respect those traits.
I'm at a strong mixture right now where I feel the need to be responsible and get myself on my feet at 23, but yet I haven't felt like I partied enough in my life. I only had sex with one person a select few times, and that was a long time ago- and I have only smoked weed (no longer, though).
