Graduated May 2014. Didn't do anything until November 2014, I volunteered at a food bank three times big deal. Then December I took a one day Microsoft Excel class woop dee doo. Then February I settle for a retail job which I have been doing since then and it is only part-time. It's bad to be working only part-time, but it's the only hours they could give me.

Since then I had interviews for:

News assistant at two separate newspaper publishers

Troubleshooting/tech job

Technical writer for an Aerospace company

There's more but I can't remember now. So now I've decided to pursue teaching because I don't know what else to do career-wise. I left a voicemail for subbing and I'm waiting to hear back. I know what the problem's been for me, it's been laziness mixed with procrastination, and also growing up spoiled. I always told myself I never wanted to be a teacher. Point of this thread? I don't know, I was bored.

what do you find so bad about being a teacher?
I don't like kids. Or I guess I don't know how to interact with them. Which is funny because I'm basically a 23 year old kid. I've just never had to deal with them. I wouldn;t want to teach younger than middle school though.

If you know, you know.
Sounds like you should become a cop.

Lol no, not for me. I like the typical work days. I am the type of person that takes the law seriously, but I still I don't think it's for me.

I like hugs and making the world a better place. That and guns. Lots and lots of guns.
Learn machining and/or welding. There is a desperate need for both. You can make very good money in both professions. They both go hand-in-hand. Better yet, learn how to weld aluminum, apprentice under someone for a while, then get certified by the FAA and start welding with aircraft. FAA certified aluminum welders are a drying breed that is desperately needed. The younger generations of today aren't replenishing the supply of skilled welders and machinists in today's job market because they all want office jobs. If you do this, you'll be so busy that you'll have to turn down work. You'll make a lot of money and be able to work your own hours. When important things break, important companies are willing to pay whatever is needed to get them working again as soon as possible.

If you feel like you've done nothing, then try anything
Don't put off job/learning opportunities because you think you might not like it

If you don't know what you want to become, don't have preconceptions about what you don't want to become

Lots of people haven't come into their prominence until they were in their forties or later.

At this point just find something that makes you happy. Maybe it can one day become a career? Make music, make movies, write about something you love, edit/produce something (picture, video, music).

Clearly you don't want to be a teacher and from my family's experience, being a sub doesn't really get you anywhere (unless you have a degree in teaching).

Pretty much- if you are procrastinating, you aren't looking to do something you love. And when you're young, you have the time to follow what you want. Don't waste time wasting time I guess.

I neither fear, nor despise.
I'm doing lots of restaurant work even though I want to do music and I'm going to College for accounting.
I guess thoseare just the jobs I can acquire that I don't hate at the moment. Money is good too.

What the fuck is this? Are you shitting me right now?

If I stooped this low and wanted a sob story I would have been shred into pieces. Pucker up Nancy. Enough of this woe is me shit. Life is gonna be unfair, you're going to feel like that a lot until you actually set your mind on a goal and actually decide to do something. Opportunity doesn't just come knocking on your door, You have to go look for it.

Find something you really enjoy doing in your spare time that isn't playing games or posting on forums. Like making stuff. If you enjoy creating something out of blocks of wood for instance, turn that into a business. Sell it on Ebay as one of a kind, or better yet fuck the internet and sell it locally first.

Get involved with your community with any participating events that are free admission, I can give you some examples of what I did here in Glendale.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
I dunno man, try internships, apprenticeships.

mindsumo.com is a great place for that. He will need a student email for it though.
