How Can I Find A Good Career For Me?

January 29, 2010 – 10:55 am

Ok, so I’m 23 and I go to a community college..but I really don’t know what for. I’m 7 credits away from an associate of art’s degree..but I don’t know what to do next. I’m actually thinking about droping out right now, because the classes I am taking are hard. I don’t know why I should even take them if I might not need them in the long term anyway. How can I find a good school to go to that offers a degree I am interested in. What step should I take right now? I just feel like this is going nowhere. I don’t even wanna try anymore because I have no goals. I need goals!

  2. Since you have art degree then you have to keep drawing coz nobody knows if you paint a 5 million dollars painting. On the otherhand i advise you work as a teacher in the timebeing.

  3. don’t give up. You are so close to finishing. even if you are not sure why you are there you can still use your AA as leverage for more pay. Do something that you enjoy. You should think about going into a field that makes you feel like even if you did not get paid you would still get up and go to work.

  4. First – DO NOT DROP OUT!!! You don’t want withdrawals to show up on your transcript. Go the distance and get the AA.
    As for a job, please read, “What Color is Your Parachute?” by Richard Nelson Bolles. This book has been around for the past 20 years. It was written for people who want to use their talents, but don’t know what career they want. This book will help you muddle through the decision process.
    Once you know the career, the major will become obvious. Once you know the major, pick the best school for that major.

  5. Get your degree. It will generally get you $2,000 more per year with some companies.
    If you’re 7 credits away, why screw off now!
    You should have screwed off when you were 40 credits away!

  6. Try this site.
    http://www.rileyguide.com/assess.html
    There are assessments tools available that will help you. Your college career center should also offer resume and interview help.
    Believe me you are on the correct course. Many people experience “burn out” sometime along their college path.
    As for retention. Try reading aloud. Hearing your own voice speak the words helps. Take frequent breaks and even a “reward” break to take a walk. Don’t try all nighters. Shorter study times help.Best wishes
