Deciding About My Future

Post Reply New Topic

I currently have two plans:

A) Move and go to university.
B) Move to the country, get a job [hopefully at a library], and do University courses online

I also want to get my book published, and I'm waiting for a reply from a company I found.

The thing is, I don't need much to be happy: just a small cottage home surrounded by flowers and forests, a cat or two, and space for my books.
I feel conflicted about where my life mission will lead me now.

Hey Kuraudo777.

I wasn't sure if your thread was asking for advice or if it was a statement...so if you're looking for advice, then read below. If not, then ignore my post lol.

Is there a public library or school library where you're currently living? If so, then you could call them up or go in person and ask if they're hiring. If you choose the second method, then I'd suggest bringing a resume and dropping it off so they'd have your contact info and bio on file. In the meantime, you could apply to a university since the application process may take a couple of months to a year depending on the college.

BTW, I went to a public university that had several libraries on campus, and many of the employees were students through the federal work-study program. If this is something you're interested in, then ask your university if they offer this program, whether their libraries hire students, and how many hours you're expected to work per week. Hope that helps!

A university degree increases the number of job opportunities available, so it is generally a good choice.

And as Chief of Human Resources at Shinra corporation (TURK division), I exclusively hire applicants with a PhD in Evil MegaCorporation Backstabbing Tactics.

Working at a library might be attractive for those on the spectrum, but there are a limited number of job opportunities available, and you often need a master's degree to work as a librarian, anyway. So it might be smart to focus on a field of study where you don't end up with a too narrow focus.

For example: I initially wanted to work as a reporter, but I chose a degree in political science instead in order to improve my job outlook (better pay, more job security etc.).

I thought librarian would be good since I'm highly organized, can get things done quickly, and can work quietly.
