Answer 1

How many days do you have left on this planet?

How many more do you intend throwing away, working in a job that you hate?

Life is far too short to hate what you're doing 5 days a week.

It might be advisable to ask yourself some questions like:

If I could do anything at all in life - and there are no boundaries - what would it be?

If time and money were not objects, what would I be doing right now?

What makes me passionate, happy and excited?

Unless you answer these questions your life will just drift and you will ultimately be unhappy.

College degree or not, today is the first day of the rest of your life and that means making your own decisions about what you want to do, who you want to become and what you want to have in the future.

You might need to take a dramatic turn in your life, but the dramatic turns bring the most impressive results.

And finally, you appear frustrated? We get frustrated when we feel we are not in control. Being in charge of your life and making solid decisions about your career and your future, and taking total responsibility for your life from this day forward, will eliminate any frustration and set you up for the greatest gift we can enjoy in life... happiness.

I sincerely trust this is helpful.

Warmly,

Slav

You need to find out what you like and which careers will fit with your personality and your innate skills. "What Color is Your Parachute" is the classic book on how to find this out. There is a web version now. My advice would be, no matter what you choose, get your Bachelors Degree at the very least. Go for Masters or Doctorate if you need it for the particular career. The higher your education, the better you will be in the future if, for example, you are injured and can no longer perform your old job, or some new technology eliminates your old job, or your personality changes as you get older (the most common cause of job-switching). That basic college education will give you the skills to be flexible in the market. It's like Boot Camp for adults - you will get basic skills that apply to any field, so no matter what you choose, you will be prepared better than most. Want to be the best janitor you can be? Go to college.

During school and probably a little while after, you will just have to tolerate Burger King. I actually learned some very good job skills there that have helped me the rest of my life, so don't take that experience lightly. I see it on resumes all the time, and not only am I impressed that someone put it on there, I'm also positive that they learned some basic skills there, particularly if they're willing to have me call that job and ask about them.

Answer 3

As much as you may dislike your present job, don't let it show.
What happens is, you start making dumb mistakes, develop an attitude, and give them a reason to screw with you so you quit.
It is still an income while you look, and be sure to leave on good terms.
Also,keep an eye open for opportunities where you are. Loss of one employee, a new customer, or a buyout could mean all the difference in the world.

Good luck. It'll come, but you have to make it happen.

Answer 4

Well, I'm a college graduate working a SHlT job making 10 dollars per hour. My suggestion... Get used to having a life that sucks. That's what I've done. Alcohol also helps.

Answer 5

You're in a similar situation to me. My plan is: student loans to complete schooling and a part-time job that pays well, such as food server, bartender, etc., etc.

Answer 6

Google is very employee-friendly if you have studied computers and such...some people practically live there....
