So I got a degree in American Studies because that’s what I liked to do.
I did like it.
But now, I don’t know what to do!!
I was all over USAJOBS.com, but no luck.
Overall, I was hoping to land a job in Government, or working for some secret shadow agency full of good people.
But now, I wonder if it was all a waste. I mean, I know it wasn’t a waste, because I use the skills just in my basic , every day living. I don’t want to say it makes life easier, but I definitely make better decisions, which seem to make life better.
So all in all, if I had nothing, I do have that degree and knowledge packed in my brain.
Other than that, I don’t know what I”m doing anymore, after 2 years of job searching and resume writing and career counselor advising!!!
I talked with other people who have other degrees, and it’s all the same!!!
The people who seem to do well are females who majored in marketing or nursing or something.
My buddy has an accounting degree, and isn’t even using it! He does a job that I think doesn’t even require a degree.
My other buddy has a Masters in Business. And he’s doing what I did during school and still do to make ends meet when I can. Home Improvements! LIke fixing up old or busted houses and making them sell for high.
Thing is, he’s doing the labor part. He works for a company, but I think his friend owns it, so it’s all good I guess.
His friend also has a degree, I’m not sure in what though, probably business. But he’s just older, and has better connections. That’s why he with his bachelor’s, is my friends boss, who has the masters!
Why, because his friend’s dad owns a business or something. And may not even have a degree, just a real estate license.
But I digress….

When I talk to people about trying out internet marketing, talk to my dad about HOW MUCH BETTER it would be than FLIPPING BURGERS, people think I’m deceived, that I will fall for a scam.
Yet, most affiliate networks are not scams and they do pay. Yes there’s people making money online.
And guess what the general public’s attitude towards THEM is? Internet marketers are “scammers too lazy to get a real job”.
Why?

I’m 16. My mama died when I was just a few hours old. She had been told years before not to have any more babies,because she ran the chance of bleeding to death if she did. My dad wanted her to abort me and firmly declared that I could not possibly be his child,because he had been sleeping on the couch for the past year since my older brother and sister were born and hadn’t had sex with her. When I was born I had clubbed feet and a cleft lip. My dad refused to hold me and gave me to his mother until I was 4 years old. That’s how much he hated me!
He came to the US as a refugee when the Soviet Union fell apart. My mama was american. My daddy was so young at the time and he insisted that he had fathered so many kids by his wife(my mama) and a son by another woman that he had no idea how he was going to support his brood.
He has told me on several occasions that if he had attempted to raise me from birth he probably would’ve done something crazy like smother me with a pillow!
My granny,his mother, fled here to the UK. About a year after mama died, daddy brought my older brothers and sister and moved here,too. He finished university and became successful, but even his success hasn’t made him love me! I have my “niche” in the family,yet my dad never seems to quite as proud of me as he is everyone else.
My mama had a few kids when she married my dad. I have asked about them and guess what he tells me? “Be glad I kept you, dammit!”
My older siblings tell me to keep my mouth shut about our half-siblings and be glad I live here,too! Sometimes when he’s really mad my dad refers to as “the B*stard”.

Hey I’m Tarik, 18 and very confused at this point in my life.
As a kid I’ve always known what I wanted to be, I was good at drawing and loved doing it. So I wanted to be a cartoonist and eventually make cartoons that appear on TV. I had this ambition until I was about 12-13.
Then Golf Came into my life, I started hitting balls on the driving range and I was actually pretty good at it. My dad would take me to the driving range and get me lessons and at that point I knew I wanted to become a pro golfer. I loved golf, I watched it on TV, practiced as much as I could but then…prices went up. Lesson were extremely expensive and we weren’t rich and in addition the golf course I went to was miles and miles away. So I had to pack it in and as of now I’ve lost interest in it (still miss it though).
Business was another thing that amazed me, I’ve never liked the idea of working under someone and I’ve always wanted to run a successful business which puts a smile on my face. In which I am, I have a few small business which make decent money for what they are but I don’t enjoy running them because they’re not related to any niche that interest me.
You see my dad sort of told me to venture into these niches because of the money they bring. But to be honest, although I know I can make a lot of money with these businesses, it still doesn’t motivate me since just don’t enjoy doing it.
Right now I’m in college (in the UK this is basically high school not uni) and I’m studying a few subject but have no idea where ill go after that. I’m always doodling in class because I love creating characters and people over my shoulder usually say the drawings look good (but I know they’re no where near as good my friends drawings). I also create stories in my head when day dreaming and I love imagining the characters, its great fun but I wouldn’t know how to make them a reality. My main objective in life as of now is to travel the world, I’ve seen some of if and it really is amazing. England is way to cramped, I want to leave as soon as I can. But I want to be in control of my life by having a successful business to fund my world trip. But you see?
There’s this and there’s that and there’s this. I DON’T know what to do with myself! and I definitely don’t want to have a midlife crisis
I simply don’t want to tell my life story because there’s tons more information and this maybe a really boring read but I simply don’t know what I want at this moment! I want to travel but that’s a long term goal. What I want to do to get there is what’s really confusing me?
I know this is long but I really think I need some guidance here.
I would be much much appreciated
