I really wish I could figure this out. It's wearing on me so much, but the answers just arent there.
I'm going back to school as soon as I can choose a path but I feel like there is nothing out there for me.. I cant stand being a person who has no real resume friendly skills, and I cant live bouncing from shit job to shit job for the rest of my life.
My number one choice is graphic design but it seems like you really need so much schooling to be a competitive player in that field. It's all about competition, which is fine. That doesnt scare me as long as I had my shit together, but i'm 25 years old. I dont know if going through 3 years of college plus possible other supporting classes is really a good idea...
I've also thought about fashion design and photography, but both seem sort of like throw away choices. I dont know that either would really take me anywhere. I mean really...what could I do with fashion design besides start my own obscure little line of clothes that would probably cater to 20% of a scattered subculture?? Cant live off that for sure. And photography...well i've always wanted to give it a go, but I doubt that would make me much of a living...
I know someone is going to suggest going back into hair so I may as well cover that ground right now... I'd love to make hairstyling work for me but the truth is, i'm a terribly awkward, reserved, and unpersonable personality. When I dont have a drink in my hand, i'm terrified of people, and being thrown into that atmosphere everyday would probably be pretty miserable for me.
Bottom line, I need to find a profession that allows me to work away from people, preferably alone...and preferably something that wont turn me into an office douche, but i'll bend if I have to.
Ugh.
If anyone has any ideas, drop me a line. I'd love to get some insight here.
