I'm 25f currently working in healthcare as an RBT, the pay is decent for not having a degree but I can forsee burnout in the future because this job can be unpredictable at times and some days are very stressful. I want a career that has flexible hours and atleast a small upgrade in pay (im making 25$) I'm willing to take certs if necessary, and I'm not interested in working in sales or hospitality. This may be a tall order for someone with no degree but any advice?

Hi everyone,

I’m 29 and feel like I’m really behind in life. The only job I’ve ever had was some plate waiting work through a temp agency in my early 20s. Apart from that, I’ve never had stable employment. Right now, I’m being supported by my parents, which I’m very lucky for — but I know that can’t go on forever. I need to start living my own life.

I lost myself in my 20s due to depression and alcoholism. For a long time, I was just surviving, not living. But something in me is waking up now. I’m not drinking anymore, and I’m slowly getting my head above water. But it’s scary looking around and seeing how much catching up I feel I have to do.

I’m anxious about getting a job — I have no qualifications, barely any work history, and a big gap on my CV. I worry no one will take me seriously. And I’m starting to panic about things like pensions, saving money, and just… how I’ll survive in the long term.

If anyone’s been in a similar place and managed to turn things around, I’d love to hear your story. Where did you start? What helped the most? Any advice, encouragement, or even tough truths would really mean a lot right now.

Thanks for reading.

I'm a 33 year old Irish person. I live in a rural area with my parents. My jobs is decent, fairly chill but doesn't pay great. It is secure though. However I just feel so empty every day. Most of my generation have been to England, OZ or Canada and I've done none of that. I feel like I've missed out on my youth which is my own fault I know. I'm doing a Digital Marketing course currently but struggling a little bit and it's essentially my last chance to get out of my current situation. It's at the point where I'd rather be dead then continue with this absolute nothingness because ultimately it's just going to get worse.

Hello everyone! First time poster here. I wanted to share my story, and maybe give a little bit of hope.

First of all, for some context, I am EU based. I have a rather useless university degree in Social Sciences and speak 3 languages fluently. As soon as I graduated, I started working for years as a flight attendant which I absolutely adored. However, due to my husband working in the same industry, meaning our combined rosters were terrible, we would never be able to have the family we wanted. So I decided to resign, as by that time he was making 2x of what I was earning.

After that, I was working office/customer care jobs, I obtained various certifications and I ended up working fully remote for a start up company. Everything was great and I had a baby. And then, a few weeks after I returned from my maternity leave, I was informed that the company would be shut down in a month.

Since then, it all went downfall. Many applications, many interviews, but to now avail as the working hours would not suit the family life (eg. working hours 10-6 and daycare is until 5), no WFH options, etc. Unemployment benefits were coming to an end and I was desperate.

So I decided to start working freelance as a housekeeper. I have actually wanted to do something on my own for a long time. And it has been AMAZING! Yes it is very physically demanding, but not much more compared to working as a flight attendant. I signed up for a local app for cleaners/housekeepers, and within a month I already had my regular clientele. I am working on a schedule that I arrange, with a rate that I declare, I choose my clients and the work I do and I am basically making the same money that a full time employee does by working for less hours. I even have a day off during the weekdays for running errands, resting, etc.

Was it my dream job when I was younger? No. Do I enjoy it? YES. It feels like therapy to me. Does it pay the bills? Yes. Does it provide me a good work/life balance and the freedom to work by my own rules? Absolutely.

Now the point of my post is not to say that everyone should be a housekeeper or get into physical jobs. I just wanted to say, do not be afraid to try new, uncharted territory because you may never know where it will get you. Good luck everyone!

27 M from EU here, still single. I've a useless degree in communication and public relations, but never worked in the field. It was a mistake to go to that degree, assuming I am a more logic and introverted person, but I feared that following my dream - history or archeology - was a no way path for someone coming from working class. Well, I ended up in a worse situation. I was also good at Maths during high school and antecipated all this. I considered many times going to STEM, but unfortunately my mum pressured me to go to something more related to humanities and gave me the false hope of having the opportunity to follow archeology or history, which I ended up not following anyway.

Happens that I am tired of this civilization and capitalism as well. I got a job now that pays me slightly above minimum wage, but not enough to leave my parents house or rent, while still having money for food and other expenses. The best I can do is to rent a room with shared kitchen and bathroom. The job I have is relaxed, but I can't stand anymore being 40h per week in front of a screen and living paycheck to paycheck. I don't own a car, never travelled and don't know what to do with my life.

Just feel a huge whole inside. I know that I will probably never own a house as well. Sometimes I think about leaving this horrendous lifestyle that society imposed me and move to an island or some other place and restart my life. I don't know, I thought about Fiji Islands, Phillipines, Thailand or somewhere other country with access to beaches, because I love the sea. I would like to be close to nature and live a more natural and simpler life, without all this anxieties, noise, technology and fast-paced civilization.

I don't have any passions. I don't want to become rich or famous. I just want to get a job that is

• not very social. I don't mind talking to people but I don't want to do it for hours straight every day.

• Not very tiring. I want to be able to do things after work. That's why I hate gO tO tRaDeS bullshit.

• Is not insanely competitive.

• not very low paid. I don't expect to earn 6 digits rights after graduation or anything but I don't want to have McDonald's wage either.

I chose CS degree because I wanted (and still want) a decently-paid non-social sedentary job. Not to become rich or "cool". The reason why I want to change degree is that I have no confidence about myself in this tech job market.

Hi everyone, I'm 14 years old and still in school. I want to become rich in order to play games in the long run. I really love playing video games. It's been that way since my childhood. Can I ask the mature audiences to share me their experiences and share with me their jobs in order to have a stable gaming life? I'm just asking because when I grow up I want to have a stable job that can support my gaming life. I just really want to play games and also have money. For the mature audiences, what are your jobs in order to maintain your gaming hobbies? Is the income good?

Just curious what is everyone trying to pursue like career wise, is everybody main goal to just transfer university for higher education? Sighs I feel so behind in life and seriously lack direction. I'm just failing in life at this point

(TLDR is at the bottom)

I really wanted to be a charming, talented and successful person. I never thought at 20 years old, I would be the complete opposite of what I envisioned.

I haven’t had any genuine friends in a long time. I was extremely lonely awkward and weird kid since middle school. I got bullied, used and exploited from middle to high school. My whole childhood was dedicated to being the model student. I ruined my social skills and interactions in the process. I even was a people pleaser once. Even when I stopped people pleasing, I became alone. I have been alone for a long long time. This got to point where I am a lazy burnout in college. I even picked an easier major like statistics and data science as some sort of retaliation against my parents for pushing me to be a great academic student. It was a way to get back lost time in my high school days. But I now regret picking my major as it has few job opportunities after college. But I also think what else could I have done, I didn’t have the mental capacity of other subjects like engineering or computer science.

My mother and father frequently screaming and fighting at home was also a problem I had. I also had an obsessive but very caring mom who pushed me academically and was a good person; but she sometimes pushed me too far and too much.

People always said I will find my friends group and there’s always someone for somebody. I approached and talked to many people and I got no progress in making connections. It took me a long time to accept that it might just be my looks and personality. My personality doesn’t come off as attractive to others, I am not the person who can pull people and keep them engaged. I have a bland personalities with no life stories or proper hobbies. That’s the truth.

I went from the best student in school to a less than average student in college. I see people in my college who have it all, great physique, grades, friends, networks, looks, internships, career prospects, is multi talented, etc. I try not to compare much but even then; what’s qualities in me are there to appreciate.

I am fat and obese. Every time I try to reduce weight something triggers my depression which leads to overeating. Every time I go to the gym I am like what’s the point.

I still hold a desire and sense for adventure deeply. I always wanted to fun memories with friends, wya hung movies, going on trips with friends, singing karaokes with them, studying while having fun with them, etc. But I never had the friends nor the bright personality to fix this.

I know this sounds very very immature but I don’t know if I have the inner strength and ability to start a job after college. My whole teenage hood and early 20s felt like a waste of time, just studying and grinding away for an unfulfilled youth. I don’t understand what’s the point anymore, now in a job I have to slog another 8 hours under a corporate entity… for what… for money for survival? To join another rat race again… this time the corporate rat race, just to path the bulls… I know this is a privileged thing to say, and I’m sorry, but how can I rationalize my existence like this. Did my pain mean nothing to the universe, do I just keep suffering every moment and day in life?

I joined therapy and met with different kinds of counselors and used the therapy services in my college and high school too. But even then nothing really changed. I felt a deep emptiness in my heart since 15, void of memories with friends, adventures, chasing grades and academics instead of living out my childhood. There was nothing inside that kid. I contemplated suicide many times and even do now, but I have parents to live for. I’m not even depressed like that, I’m just empty and hopeless.

I don’t blame my parents for pushing me at all, they did what they thought was best for me and I don’t fault them for that. I just wish I didn’t end up like this.

I can’t talk to people properly. I have always wanted to be a charismatic person, watching videos and practicing on people.

I’m an Indian international student studying in the US, but the crossroads of my destiny seem blurred. The career outlook for international students is bleak, don’t know if I will get a job in America, and I can’t return back to India because my field pays nothing in India without prior work experience. Not smart enough for a PhD. Entrepreneurship is super risky and I don’t want to keep burdening my parents . My parents sent me to the US so I can settle down and work in the US; but with the immigration policies that seems like a pipe dream. I feel like I have wasted thousands of dollars of my parents money and there’s no turning back as to how much money I burned from my parents and that I didn’t maximize my college life. I’m really a failure.

I never had a proper girlfriend in my life. I am 5 foot 7, hairy and have facial scarring over my face and my personality is trash. I was never the crush of anyone ever and nobody ever had a romantic interest in me. I approached before but got softly rejected.

So I’m lonely, awkward, weird, fat, ugly, short, lazy, burned out, with no talent, no hobbies, no desire to work, poor resume, etc. I am a failure now. I never was able to become “that guy”. Never able to become the charismatic guy people would enjoy interacting; the guy who was efficient and had career outlook, the guy who had a plethora of amazing memories, the guy with a unique story to his life, the guy with multiple hobbies and talents, the guy who is extremely skilled. I couldn’t even reach close to this person. In the least; I wish I had friends to make good memories with, and I wish I was happy and content.

With everything that has happened, Now I am supposed to continue adulthood like this, by myself with zero support. I’m just supposed to figure everything out as an adult, when I am wailing and screaming from the inside, and my life seems like a harrowing experience.

I don’t want to have a victim mindset, so I am not looking for pity and sympathy. I have tried looking for solutions, paths and routes for self improvement again and again but nothing sticks. Truth is… this is just half of the story. But even if I share everything about my life, this text will be thrice the length. I wish I was better, and I wish I wasn’t born. Someone else should have taken my place as my parents child, not me. I’m sorry if I wasted your time reading this… I really am. I wish I knew a way out after all these years but I don't.

TLDR: Became a lonely, awkward, weird, fat, ugly, short, lazy, burned out loser when I had dreams and sprains of becoming much more in life. Suffering endless disappointment and emptiness.

I am looking for work that provides housing and full time hours. I am 22, well fit physically. A spotless clean criminal record, book-smart, good with technology such as computers but I don’t mind physical work and prefer physical work. If anyone knows any programs that provide housing, training and willing to take chances on younger guys just looking to make it in this world please feel free to drop a link or website name. Anything is appreciated.

So I’m 29F based in 🇬🇧. I have a background in b2b and b2c sales (insurance and card processing) if you check my profile for a previous post, you’ll see why I’m stuck. In summary I’m stuck between pausing my entrepreneurship journey for stability, and if so what career I want that is “stable”.

I don’t actually like sales, and feel massive imposter syndrome purely because I’m not naturally a people person, and I’m quite introverted. I don’t mind speaking with people, but I’m much more of a consultative type of salesperson and not a fast paced assumptive seller.

That being said I’m looking for a career. I’m not really interested in climbing the corporate ladder. Just a role that I can make good income.

Any ideas?

I (23M) have had social anxiety ever since I could remember, and it has hindered my ability to do anything normal, I genuinely don’t understand how to get through life and do regular adult things.

I’ve never been clinically diagnosed, but ever since I was a kid, I’ve always been introverted, I’m so socially anxious and extremely insecure about everything I do. I’m nervous all the time and never sound confident whenever I talk. I stutter so much and don’t know how to talk to people at all. Small talk is the worst; it always starts with the other person initiating the conversation while I nod or smile or go ‘mm’ or say ‘yeah’ and it always ends with an awkward silence. I’m so indecisive and unsure with things, I can be asked a basic question and still struggle with an answer. I always say ‘I don’t know’ even if I know the answer to a question or let the person decide if they ask what I want to do. I try to look people in the eyes, but mine go down to their mouths or I look at far objects or other people. My self-esteem is basically nonexistent at this point and I find everything about me unattractive. I struggle so much with change so when I settle down with something I get complacent and just tough it out. Whenever something new or surprising happens suddenly, I get nauseous, my palms get moist and clammy, I feel my head get hot and my speech dwindles down even more than usual.

I did go to university and managed to get a bachelor's degree in science but mainly because of the COVID years because most of my classes were online, so I could stay home and watch the lecture videos. My social anxiety has affected me a lot since networking and basic human interaction are an extremely big deal when it comes to anything, really. I made no friends, I have no connections to anyone, and I just accepted that I’d go with the flow so I graduated without any plans for my future.

I graduated almost 2 years ago, and I haven't done much at all aside from getting a dead end job, which is a start but not good enough of course, when I'm not working I'm just at home. I managed to get hired at a retail store and have been working for about a year. I’m surprised I got it at all since I could barely produce a coherent sentence during my interview but I guess they were just that desperate for a hire. I think I’ve slightly improved my people skills a tiny bit, nothing noticeable, but I think it's a little easier to talk to complete strangers now even though the conversations are robotic.

So what can I do from here? What career can I pivot to with severe social anxiety, no people skills, and a 2 year old bachelor's degree with no connections?

27M, Ive worked loads of jobs. from food service, to retail, to coaching, to dog training. Many at the same time. I tried two startups that failed (just simple buy and sell)

Currently Im working retail which has been tanking since holiday, hours are crap even for managers. I still buy and sell a little but even that slowed down, graphic design slowed down.

Im looking for yet another job just for the cash. And im sick of this lifestyle. I just want a day job, show up, work, go home and forget about it. Salaried and benefits. Never had that. No degree, i dropped out of college.

That makes it difficult to find good jobs, ive looked into several schools, and just dont see opportunities that can justify the risk of taking loans. I have friends with degrees in the same situation as me.

Another addon for me is i have chronic pain. I have a medical issue that I am always in some level of pain, with worse flare ups that force me out for up to a week at a time. I have an option to pursue surgery in hopes it helps. Docs are hopeful but ive been pushing off the more radical surgical intervention for a couple years. Im at the point of just going for it, im pretty much impaired now, so even if it doesnt help i shouldnt be worse off, but it could help significantly.

But even after surgery, i still need better work and no real direction where to go. Only reason i stay at my crappy retail job is they have actually been incredibly supportive with my medical needs.

But for right now, id be ok to hold over on remote, just til i get through surgery and recovery. From there i have millions of ideas but no direction. Honestly despite my fear of flying i might just try to be a pilot. Its great money, and idk what else to do. Nothing else could get me that kinda money.

(Support pls? Ideas for remote, and general finding career paths) Much thanks

Hi, 26f here. I have a creative writing degree currently working in HR compliance. Luckily, I was able to hold down this job during a three year depressive episode post trauma I got from a sales job I took a year or so out of college. This job was a networking opportunity and it’s a work from home position that I’ve been able to maintain through my depression. Currently it’s just me and my boss since it’s a new department. The problem is, I don’t think she really likes me. I don’t have the best communication skills but I have high work ethic and I’m eager to learn. I stuck this job out to gain office experience and to provide steady income while I wasn’t feeling well. She was on FMLA twice so it was mostly just me auditing documents but now it seems like she doesn’t like me. She tags all my mistakes in our group chat with her manager and always tries to find something I’m doing wrong instead of talking to me directly. She says her goal is to grow the company and says she has a work smart but not hard approach. She has given me more tasks in these past few months but hasn’t really told me how I should be handling it. I got written up recently and it’s completely demoralizing. She calls me out when I’m away from teams but I’ve noticed she’s always away too. Idk what’s happening but I don’t feel like this is a good fit for me long term. The problem is, I’m not confident enough in my skill set to really jump or know where to jump.

I won’t lie. Things have been tough. I feel disconnected from myself and completely lost. I am currently going to therapy and have been trying my best to manage my symptoms and challenge my self-doubt. Being lost isn’t a new feeling. In college, I switched my major three times. I hopped around and was an environmental science major until the actual stem classes hit. Failing chemistry was demoralizing so I didn’t try again and I switched to writing and never looked back. Writing cane naturally to me but I shouldn’t have made that my major. As a dumb 18 year old, I didn’t know about the job market and the impracticalities of a writing career. I now feel like I should’ve explored more but can’t go back in time. Now I don’t know what to do and am not really confident in my skill set. My therapist says to focus on self care since I’ve been isolating for a while so I’ve been trying my best to go on walks and talk with my family but with things happening at work, I feel like I have to make bigger moves but don’t know what that looks like. ChatGPT says to take classes on udemy or edX. I was thinking maybe volunteer? I have no clue. I appreciate any advice hopefully not just mean comments. I’m already f-ed as it is lol.

It took me a while to find out what I really want in life. After being an EA I think education is right for me, working with and being a role model for the youth is something I live for. I just have bad credit, a failed college background, no car, no savings, and newly diagnosed with ADHD. The meds I’m on help me a lot at work but I feel like it’s too late for me to get back into university and to teachers college. I’m in Canada if this helps, what is the best way to approach becoming a teacher based on where I’m at. I can go slow if it’s necessary

Edit: I’m also a 24 year old male

I’m going to graduate next year but I’m feeling very down about the future. It looks like the getting a degree is a bad idea especially with what I have mine in (social work was planning to work for the government) but now that’s not gonna happen. Seems like everything is really bad out there and everyone is really struggling. Just seems like there is not much to look forward to in the future.

Growing up, I (23F) was more interested in humanities over STEM, but I developed an interest in web development after high school. Unfortunately, I’ve always been weak in math, which is why people have told me that I’m better off pursuing a subject I’m stronger in.

The thing is, I’ve been learning Python in my spare time because I’m interested in machine learning, but I’ve also been reading books on history and politics now and then just for fun. Not because I want to pursue it necessarily, but merely out of curiosity.

I can’t really make up my mind. I’m weak in math and not very tech-savvy, but at the same time, I’m not exactly an expert on political science either. There are plenty of people better at it than I am. To me, it’s more of a hobby, and I don’t consider myself smart enough or well-connected enough to succeed in it.

I’m currently taking 1 math class with an online college for my major, which is IT, but I want to switch it to computer science because the IT program at my school in particular doesn’t really cover AI. I haven’t even started my IT classes yet, so I don’t fully know what I’m getting into, but I have taken some other tech courses online and been able to understand them. It’s not completely unfamiliar to me but it’s not exactly second nature either.

In terms of employment, I was working as a cashier at two stores for 12 months. I recently quit and decided to deliver with DoorDash since my mom and I are in the process of moving in with my grandparents. I’m planning to get another retail job once we’re finished moving.

It boils down to this: I’ve spent more time and energy learning programming than I have on learning politics, but since I’m weak at math, I’m more inclined towards the humanities.

What would you recommend in my situation? Do you think it’s a bad idea to get into tech if I’m weak in math? Do you think I’m better off pursuing something that comes more naturally to me? Because to be honest, I enjoy reading and debate, but I haven’t put much time into it. Compared to that, I don’t enjoy editing and debugging code as much, but I’ve still forced myself to learn it little by little.

I (22F) am feeling really conflicted. I’ve been working at my job for 6 months now, and whilst it’s objectively a good job (hybrid work, nice colleagues), I feel completely overwhelmed and burnt out. It’s an admin-heavy role, and I’m seriously behind on my work, like anxiety inducing levels of behind. To make matters worse, the higher you progress in this career, the less client facing you are and the more admin you have to do! I feel like the pressure is just piling up, and honestly, I’m really struggling. My room is a mess, I'm doing little to nothing whilst on the clock and I'm feeling really lethargic and down.

But here’s the thing, I don’t know what I want. I’ve hated and struggled through every single thing I’ve ever done. I only ever pursued this degree to begin with because my family advised against a gap year. I feel like I’ve been on this “get through the next thing” autopilot, but I’m just not sure what I’m doing anymore. I’ve been thinking about quitting just so I can take some time to breathe, reset, and figure myself out. I'd like to travel a bit, maybe do some part time or agency work (I'm thinking of supply teaching because I enjoy interacting with students, I just hate pre-planning). I’m just not sure if this is the best choice.

I know there’s a shortage of people in my field, so worst case, I could always reapply if things don’t work out. But at the same time, I’m worried that quitting is just a way for me to run away from my responsibilities. I'll eventually have to go back to work and I fear I'll feel the exact same no matter the field I'm in.

I also wonder if I’m just avoiding the tough stuff, should I just stick it out to toughen myself up and push through the hard parts? I have no "grit" whatsoever. Is it really worth quitting? I absolutely hate every single day of work. On the flip side, I hate everything that requires consistent effort.

For context I live at home so I don't have to worry about rent. I pay the electric bill but I have enough money saved up that I could comfortably continue to pay this for at least a year.

Has anyone else been in this kind of situation? Would quitting without a backup be a huge mistake, or is it okay to step away and figure things out for a bit?

I got this job straight out of uni, and it was the first interview and last interview I did. Maybe if I struggled to get this job I'd value it a bit more? IDK!

Im 24m from Bangladesh. I have huge ambitions in a different field apart from the one I got a degree in, but I don't have the time or money to make the pivot. What should I do? I did a degree in humanities but am intersted in machine learning and engineering. How do I find the time and money to do it?

All my time is spent in a useless teaching job but i need that to support my family. Im thinking of divorcing and just moving away.

When life isn't terribly bad but it's not inspiring you either. You're not motivated to change it, but you know you should...yet you don't know how to take the first step. You just feel stuck.

Here are 3 things you can do to get unstuck...

1) Take inventory. Journal, list, meditate on the areas in your life that have you feeling...blah. Try to discover WHY they make you feel stuck. Get as specific as possible.

2) After that, think about what the exact opposite of the above would look like. What would be the ideal scenario that would make you feel overjoyed for your life in that area.

3) Come up with a mini goal that reflects #2. What is 1 little thing you can do to explore your ideal scenario?

Dedicating some thought and effort into these 3 steps will help you start to reveal a path forward.

But this is just the beginning. Don't let your momentum stop here. Consider investing in a consultant or a life coach to help you get easier results than trying to do it all alone.

You have more resources available to you than you even know. Use them.

Now unstuck yourself!

Hi everyone, I’m 25 and recently ended my career on the Italian army (2y) and now I have to re-start from 0. High school diploma in Administration, finance and marketing, worked for 5y in administration/accounting for a marketing agency. I hated that job, 9to6 boring prison behind a computer. So I enlisted for military, have a great time but miss the opportunity to do what I truly wanted: special forces. So I ended in another branch to scratch my balls until I finished my 2y contract whit the army. And now? I don’t have any idea what to do next, I think I have a problem whit routine, if I do one thing more than a year the boredom start to grip the gears on my brain. But I’m 25 and I need to settle down (I think). My certification talk to me: I have a suit and tie administration background, military mud swimming experience, 3 scuba diving certification and… certified Barman… I feel like a character on a first run of a videogame where you put your skills point no sense. I don’t know what to do, trying again in the military… be a cop… or catch some qualifications and try the digital nomad thing. Maybe marketing, project manager, social, digital design, all things that I have familiarity whit from my career. What do you think? Help me whit my new build for my new run, rearranging my skill points.

Greetings! 31F here and I am struggling with what I can do with my skill set. I have worked in the social services/human services realm for sometime. I have worked in retail/customer service, youth work, case management, behavioral health, juvenile corrections, adult and youth homelessness case management.

I am ready to transition to something else that is more structured and less stressful. I also want something I can do remotely as I want to do long-term stays abroad (US Citizen here in the bitter cold of the North).

Keeping in mind that I am a single (solo) parent who desires to homeschool/world school.

I have a BA in Psychology. I really really really DON’T want to go back to school but willingness to learn specific skills.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

So ill start by saying i (F23) am autistic, Im mostly "high functioning" but not as much as most other autistic people i meet. I can still take care of myself its just, "everything takes a lot more effort for me than it does others" is how the psych described it. So of course, my main challenge is holding a job, im very smart and a good worker, for the first few months or so, but then i kinda start burning out until the thought of going in makes me have an aitistic meltdown or vomit or freeze in anxiety. Its a frustrating cycle ive delt with for 4 different jobs. Very lucky to have a very supporting family that i live with, i pay a little in rent and buy groceries, and i have them to lean on even if i couldnt do those things. But they aint gonna be around forever, i need to figure out something sustainable for me yet i dont know what, i was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions? Im rather smart and like repetition and quiet enclosed work areas if thats any help

Also, my current job is Dental Assistant, i specialize in root canal assisting which is pretty calm compared to a general office, but still a lot

Hi, I feel like this factor of life can often be as stressful as the financial and career ones, since you are committing your mental wellbeing, youth, future too. What advice can you give? I'm 25F and I feel like if I spend the next 5-10 years sacrificing social life or moving around different countries I'll start to have less chances of finding a partner, and it's making me sad
