I´ve been unemployed since I graduated from university 4,5 years ago. I got a bachelor in an area of study I´m not sure I want to work within any longer. I´ve had some shorter employments within my area of study but I´m now very unsure if there´s where I belong.
Since I began therapy I got more interested in psychology and my former T asked me if I haven´t had thoughts about being a T. I´m not sure why she asked but I think the saw something in me that made her ask as she from the beginning knew I already have my degree.
I can´t finance any further studies as I´ve already spent the loans to study that you´re entitled to. And besides that, it takes 6 years to become a T where I live, there are no shortcuts.
I´m confused as I don´t know if I in some way found "my goal" or if this is just a symptom of me having strong feelings for my T (I got terminated and still miss her). I look up to T:s having their own practises and really doing something out of their lives. They try to help people and they "do good".
Perhaps I just got a romanticized image of the work as a T, perhaps my feelings for the subject stems from a real interest.
I feel lost and I feel I have no chances anyway because of the lack of finances. At the same time I don´t know what to do with the education I have, it´s a bachelor, but useless for most of the things I would like to do.
I would really like some advice, perhaps about how to think, how to streighten thoughts out and so on. I´m at the moment just sad and confused and I feel my life just passes.
