I'm 40 now, have been blessed to have been employed in television for 16 years, but am now under pressure to "get a real job", i.e. one that ensures job security. (Translation: parents are done helping me financially.) I adapt well to new situations, but without computer/clerical skills, and without the ability to work in a confined environment 9-5, I don't know where to begin. I googled career aptitute tests, but none are free assistance, that I found. If you know of a website to help me find out "what I want to be when I grow up", please respond. I've temped corporate for a week, and frankly, if I had to do it everyday, I'd likely take my own life! Kudos to those of you that can do it, but it's not for me. I'm an actor and writer (hoping to publish my 1st novel), and need guidance for someone with these unmarketable skills. I'm not a bartender, nor have I waited tables. And please don't suggest anything in the "adult industry". SERIOUS help requested only. Thanks.

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and do what you hate to get to where you want to be. Translation: suck it up and get one of those corporate jobs in a confined environment working 9-5.
Or you can do what a friend of mine did whose an actor/comedian/writer also....he took a job as the weather guy/reporter for a local t.v. station and pursues his interests on his own time.

I recommend Forever Living Products - you can do as many or as few hours as you like and typically on 1-2 hours a day you will earn £1200 per month after 5 months and £30-£40k per year after 2-3 years - if you do more hours you should get more.
They are a $2 billion company growing at 25% per year and need a lot more people - no investment required also, regulated by Dti and Office of Fair trading and have investors in people award also.

If you really are at a loss and need to know what is the best career for you in relation to your qualifications and personality, you should try the career test with Myers-Briggs. Go to their site and try their career consultation. Hope this helps. You may also try posting your CV with monster.com
