Answer 1

look in the classifieds to see what interest you and then apply.

Answer 2

I believe you need to sit down and do some prioritizing. Decide what is most important to you, is it money, is it the reward you get from helping others, is it feeling happy within, and if you find something you can do that meets more than one priority, great!!
You say you feel good helping others, and in my opinion, if you can help someone from doing somthing that is destructive or that may cause pain to themselves, their family, friends, etc... well for me, if I can help another person to have a better life, then I feel good.
This next suggestion may sound a bit out there, but it may help you. Think about how you would like to be remembered after you are gone. I am sharing my personal experience with you here. I feel very passionately about helping children. If I can help a child have a better life, especially in this society, then I feel I've really accomplished something.
I know it's a cliche, but you can't change the world, but find what makes you feel the best and follow your instincts, and your heart.
People can say how crazy that is all they like, but finding a way to bring peace or joy to others, is such a rewarding thing, and may help you make the decision you will be most happy with, and hopefully that will get you on the path you need to be on, and hopefully will cause some of the feelings of feeling lost, to subside.
Sometimes we can find too many things happening at once, and that can be overwhelming. Take one subject at a time, and follow your heart, and I truly believe that will help you.

I think you should ask yourself why you have to prove anything to yourself or any one else. I am like yourself in many ways, I really wish I could be happy doing the dull jobs, because deep down the majority of the world is happy doing the dull jobs. I have had lots of jobs, combustion engineer, Chemistry, Retail, restaurants, hydrology...... in the last decade, they all get dull fast, even the ones that can result in catastrophic loss of life. Have a good think about what you really need

Answer 4

The important thing is that you have a job. What you need to do is sit down think about the things you like doing and the different type of jobs that you feel could give you the excitement you need then try to work out what you need to do to achieve it ie: qualifications and any changes to your lifestyle then go for it if you are determined enough then you will achieve your dream job

Answer 5

Check at a local hospital to see if there are any job openings. Since hospital work, while very rewarding, is quite often thankless work the hospital compensates by paying pretty well. Plus, you get to interact with patients all day and no two days are ever the same.

Answer 6

You do sound determined and I'm sure you'll do well. Sometimes, particularly if you're working towards something else it may be better to just stick out where you are - you may overload yourself - at least you are heading somewhere. Perhaps you need to be striving all the time at everything you do, rather you than me but if you are I'm sure you'll come up with the right thing. One thing tho, no offence, your typing or your spelling needs improving - sorry, just being honest.

evet this sounds like waiting for a bus that's already gone.its a case of regret that you didn't study more when you were younger and got yourself a degree, i think you sound like a person with all marbles in place but have not had the chance to achieve what you want to achieve. if your still a young person, its never too late to go back to "school" so think about it, and brush up on your spelling. good luck to you, I'm sure you will get satisfaction with your determination
