careers

[pontifex]

are there any sites out there that will take your interests and other stuff and try to find a job suited to you?

my job sucks, my life sucks, i need something and i don't know what it is.

how did you all figure out what you wanted to do? when did you know what you wanted to do?

and if you're going to post some stupid or smartass comment, don't bother because i'm in a really fvckin sh!tty mood right now.

some of us are still trying to figure it out...

You can try a temp agency, you can ask them to find you a specific type of work. I think its mostly BS but there are those paid tests you can take as well...

Some are real jobs, some are scams...

 

[Schadenfreude]

maybe monster.com has something along those lines? or careerbuilder.com?

Wasn't really my thing, but I've seen others that swear by it.

monster does have some sort of thing for trying to figure out your career

here's the list it gave me

Psychologist
Human resources professional
Physical therapist
Researcher
Translator / interpreter
Legal mediator
Employee development specialist
College professor: humanities
Massage therapist
Social worker
Librarian
Fashion designer
Editor / art director

none of those really interest me...oh, and the part where i would need to go to back to school/college isn't going to happen.

find a good head hunter, they will hook you up good, but you will have to take a hit on the pay.

I'm probably gona go through one so I can just end up at a top-tier bank.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but you shouldn't be looking for serious help in ATOT. No one is going to give you an answer that should suit you. As for careers, no one can predict the future so don't try and plan too far ahead, and don't take yourself too seriously. What you need is to get away from the computer, stop being lazy, and challenge yourself until you feel better than you have in a while.

It's times like these I remember the lyrics to the Rush song "Something for Nothing."

Waiting for the winds of change
To sweep the clouds away
Waiting for the rainbow's end
To cast its gold your way
Countless ways
You pass the days

Waiting for someone to call
And turn your world around
Looking for an answer
To the question you have found
Looking for
An open door

You don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be

What you own is your own kingdom
What you do is your own glory
What you love is your own power
What you live is your own story
In your head is the answer
Let it guide you along
Let your heart be the anchor
And the beat of your own song

You don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be

Anyone have a used copy to sell because it worked? It looks interesting. I've only seen 2004 & below at the library.

I don't know how much of my life I want to tell...........

I make 150k+ and did not graduate

I dine where doctors and lawyers do, live in their neighborhoods, etc.

To the OP, there is no free lunch. Work at home? Yeah, most of those are scams. My sister is addicted to them. She is so far out of reality, she has invested to the point of demise.
