Has anyone ever questioned their career choices, or future job prospects? I am currently suffering from depression/anxiety. However, there's part of me that wants to keep myself occupied with some sort of work. My problem: I am in a state of mind right now where all I can ever see myself being good at for a "longer-term" permanent job is a low-skill, low-stress, minimum wage-like job. Otherwise, something "simpler," but seemingly unrelated to my schooling.
My counselor has suggested that I look at my strengths. I finished my undergrad (B.S. Natural Resources) and after 1.5 years of seasonal positions, I tried graduate school for my Master's: I recently dropped out after 1 year. For me, it's finding something I "know" I'll be good at, with minimal stress / low likelihood of getting overwhelmed. However, I know low-skill minimum wage jobs won't suffice for very long (I am currently looking for something... anything, really, at the moment). |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
