I think a lot of people have no real idea what they want to do with their lives. It's not worth feeling pressured over or rushed; in my opinion. I compare myself to what other people have done already also, like that, but then have to remember that their path was a lot different to mine. There's still plenty of time.
I know I shouldn't feel pressured about stuff, but I do. I hate not knowing what I'm doing. I honestly cannot see myself doing any particular job. It terrifies me.

Sorry, this is a bit depressing.
Why can't you see yourself doing any particular job?
Don't worry about being depressing, you aren't. Can't be overly joyous all the time otherwise it wouldn't be realistic.

Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?
I know how you feel, Claire <3
I really think I'm just going to end up working in a shop. I know I'm intelligent and everyone tells me that would just be a waste, but every job that my teachers have suggested have just made me go "Ehhhh...". My mother is trying to get me to go into Pharmacy, but I'm sure I'd need an A in ALevel Chemistry/Maths for that and I'm going to be very lucky if I get a B. Good lord, I don't mean to sound so big headed! Sorry >.< I don't think I'm amazing, I work damn hard for my grades.
But yeah. I would like to go into the Psychology route, but I'm not sure how far interest in the subject is going to take me.
I don't like thinking too much into it. Most people just fall into a particular job.
To be honest, I'm really really hoping they'll keep me on after my Christmas temp job at Lush is over. That would be great. Gives me something to fall back on, you know?
Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings,
About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings,
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering,
And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live.
There is just nothing that interests me, or anything that I feel I could do. I've looked and looked and looked, and there really isn't anything that I am interested in. My current job is part-time front-of-house, and whilst the money is okay, I really don't want to be doing it for the long-term. I want something that offers me some sort of mental stimulation.
I looked into purchasing/procurement, but whilst it looks like an okay (if stressful) job, it just doesn't fit me as a person. I don't want a job where maths is a integral component, I'm not great at decisions, and I don't think negotiation is really a strong point for me.
Don't worry, I don't find you patronising.
Anna, I think something to fall back on is better than most! Interest in a subject is great, and I'm all for education and learning just for the sake of it. Psychology is one of the most over-subscribed courses in the country though, and the number of jobs in it are few and far between. They also require years of experience and often a PhD. So it's pretty competitive to get into.
the most interesting people I know,
didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives,
some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
Just try some things and maybe one days you'll find what you like to do. But don't worry about it if you don't.

Yeah. I think it's a mix of both. When I was younger everything was mapped out for me, you know school then university then a job. Now that that point is actually here, it's not mapped out for me at all. I have to figure out what to do with my life and I'm completely clueless. Then there are all the things that most people aged 22 have experienced and done, but not me.
I just don't have the same feelings about things that most of my friends do. I never have.
same. plus never thought id still be alive at 22 ><
*yawwwn* i loves you guysss

The thing is, you can't really just try some things, it's not really like a hobby that is easy to pick up and put down again if you don't like it. Careers don't just fall into your lap. Jobs are hard enough to find, never mind something with a bit more progression.
This was ages ago, but this is exactly what every sleepover I've ever been to looks like =P
And then we get our boobehs out and compare them (this has actually happened >_>)
I know you don't have great self-esteem Claire, but you need to try and think what you think your strengths are. Then think of a job that might interest you that involves those strengths.

You and your weird sleepovers! If I went to one and it turned out like that I would probably just leave.
According to Prospects, my skills and motivations would suit a job in the civil service, a librarian, a researcher, town planner, retail or industrial buyer (see above post about that) aaaaaand a theme park manager.
thanks guys, i guess it looks worse in the pic than in RL because of the flash but it still looks awful.
i think im gonna have to get some more and get it back to black or darker red or something.
What were you wanting it to be, Emma? Sorry, I've never dyed my hair and know absolutely nothing about it. I've always thought to dye over black it needed to be bleached first? I have no idea though.
well it was faded to like dark brown, so i thought it would just be a bit lighter at the top and the black would have a tint. but no.
>.< typical.
I'll just go black again. or blue black.

It was only the one xD
And I'd love to have a sleepover with you! We could play on KH :3
You'd make a pretty awesome librarian. I thought you were considering being one of those people that restores books, or something? Do any of those others take your fancy?
Theme Park Managers get paid a hell of a lot to do bugger all, basically.

But KH isn't a two-player. And I'd just get annoyed by Donald.
Yeah but that was for a hobby rather than a job. I think that's a bit specialised. Buying seems interesting but I don't think I'd be able to do it. A theme park manager seems pretty niche too.
morning people :) who wants to sit through a 3 hour world civ class for me? >.> then take my midterm nextttt friday
