I don't need to be rich, I just wanna enjoy life..?

Question

Ok so I'm a 25 yr old soph. in college. As of last semester I was a nursing major, but changed my mind. To what? "you ask".. Notta "I answer" I don't know in what direction to go. I took this little quiz on what I should do based on my personality. It said Art & Personal Service. What? I mean really, I can do bubble letters and cartoon pigs for my daughter. I like to work with people, like to talk, hate routine schedules, hate mundane work days, am somewhat creative, and I just wanna do something that makes me feel good everyday. I know thats everyone, but I gotta figure this one out. So I need some ideas!!

Hi Christy,
Some people just aren't cut out for the regular grind. That would be me. I just couldn't conform to what most people call the "rules" where you get your education, then go to work for someone when and where they say, have to ask for time off every time I wanted to take my kids on vacation or go see their school play, etc.
I too took the personality quiz and it said that I should be working in a laboratory of some kind. Perhaps I would have been good at it, but I also would have lost my mind because I would have felt trapped like those little lab mice.
So then I had to look at what my interests and strengths were. I have always been good at helping people solve problems, and always interested in health. So I started a home business in the health and wellness industry because I had found a product that I truly saw results with and it came with medical validation.
It gave me the opportunity to work from home, I can talk to people all I want because I work face to face, online and on the telephone. I really don't have a routine, I make it up as I go along and I feel that I now have the perfect job. I get paid very well for what I do and will never go into the workforce again. I have met some of the most amazing people and learned more than I ever did in college about how to get ahead and have fun doing it.

Helping people look good and feel good about themselves is a great way to make YOU feel good!!!! I am a stay at home mom and looked into several businesses to start a home based Most importantly is that even though I went to school and had a degree, I wanted something that I could spend my time working to make myself money rather than working for someone else. I checked into several home based business and decided on Mary Kay for several reasons.
Mary Kay is and has been the #1 brand of skin care and color cosmetics since 1993 and is 100% guaranteed even after the product is used which makes your customers VERY happy. Customer base is larger because everyone washes their faces and a majority of women wear at least a minimal amount of make-up and this is one business that has products for men.

The company has been around forever and has a great reputation (as long as you don't push your customers) so the product sells itself and a huge difference than other products is that with Mary Kay everyone goes home and washes the products down the drain which gives you the opportunity to have very loyal customers who will re-order from you frequently.

Sounds as if you need a position that requires you to think and create, with much personal interaction, and freedom, but still getting paid for it. Believe it or not such positions DO exist and I have enjoyed my position that gives me much interaction, much freedom, some days lots of creativity and the ability to work from home.. I work in IT and am transitioning to "CEO" of a staffing company. Both jobs have been really rewarding personally, professionally, and financially.

Final recommendation. Create a "blog" exploration into your ideal job, set up a standard template for the interview, and interview alot of interesting people who work in different areas on the same set of questions.. THE BEST way to identify your ideal, is to talk to others successful in what you might aspire to do.

Answer 5

Try to pursue a differnet career that you'd really enjoy, even if it's work! Maybe try being an advertizer artist, or something related to your creative qualities. I'm only 16, so I won't know much about life as you do.... but when I grow up, I want to be a business owner!!
