Employments?

[Lemans]

Hi, I'm new here, actually I'm a man of 31 years old, I've been working the last 6 years as a courier, but I'm wondering what I'm going to do if I ever leave this job, or get fired, I don't have any university degree or anything, and my social skills are slightly above zero. What kind of jobs should I try to get, if I'm ever in a situation in which I need a job to survive? It must be pointed out that I'm horribly shy, so maybe it must be a solitary job.

This might seem retardedly inappropriate, but I was in a situatioin like yours and I decided to tech English overseas. Hmm... seems like something that a social phob would not do, but it is pretty awesome... kids just don't give a shit! ANd it feels so fucking awesome to just get on a plane and fly wherever the fuck you want. Screw fear just do it! The best way to deal with this shit is to face it full on!

I've been in Korea for two months now and I've had people stare at me and touch me and basically pet and stroke my blonde hair in public wherever I got - eating at a restraunt, riding the escalator, there is always someone staring at me and making me feel like a total weirdo... and believe it or not I feel awesome! It;s like exposure therapy or something... DO IT.

Just get on a plane and fly wherever you want to go in the world... someone will pay you to teach them english when you land, and people will tsare and make you fell uncomfortable... and then you'llstop noticing and you'll fell do free. I can't explain it, you juts feel good.

hmmm... I'm sure this advice will not go 0oover to well here if i remeber howthis site works... but fuck it, try something new - if your life is so shitty then what do you have to lose?

Thanks for the input, you're very lucky to live in Korea, oriental people are awesome, and I find oriental women very hot, in fact if I could pick a woman for me it would Japanese! (I'm caucasian)

This is a good thread. I'm only about to turn eighteen but I'm constantly obsessing over what I'm going to do with my life. I hate getting out of bed so I can hardly imagine having an actual job or going to school and I'm about to be an adult so that worries me.

Edith you are my hero! Thats my ultimate dream to just travel, pick up and go where ever the hell life takes me. I'm just wondering did you need to get a degree to be able to teach overseas? I'm part korean by the way lol so I think what you do is cool and that shit is crazy about people just petting your hair in public LOL I've never heard of that before.

Lemans, do you have certain dreams or interests that you'd like to pursue?

I needed a University degree and a TESOL certificate for Korea... but tons of countries don't need anything.

The reason I'm here is because I don't know what else to do. The thought of being an adult like my sisters and *cough* little brother makes me feel weird. Korea is a pretty fun way to delay the inevitable though :wink:
