My ideal job would be in wildlife biology, archeology, or paleontology.
However, I majored in English so I'm considering going back to get my Masters, to be a collage teacher.
You might wonder why I majored in English if I am attracted to those other fields, and that is because I was trying to finish school quickly and would have had to take extra math classes. I missed a lot of high-school math because I dropped out of high school to avoid bullies. I was put on ritalin, but of course, ritalin didn't really do anything--and it certainly didn't make the bullies disappear. I'm happily able to deal with *******s now, but it's a bit too late for high school. I've always been good at art and writing, so I figured I'd give English a try, and I'm glad I did because it's an excellent source of education. We had to read Darwin along with Shakespeare--and learn to think analytically.
I think my ideal job right now would be as a novel writer, because then I could still work alone, be free to do all the research I want for the stories. So I could write about biology and paleontology in fiction, without actually being a biologist.
Wow, I hope that works out for you. I can relate, although I have not yet had the opportunity to go to university at all. Currently, I am a cleaner. I have struck the bad luck that I do not get along with my colleagues AT ALL. I'm not bad at my job, but not particularly good either.
I'm going to apply for other work, perhaps cashier in a small store (food or books). Eventually, I want to return to school, though.
Thanks. If you want to return to school, then I think you will be able to. I went back after dropping out of school (and I had started that in 8th grade--sitting in the bathroom, alone, during classes, to avoid the bullies in that class.) So I actually missed a lot of education.
Also, my friend did really poorly in school, but then he decided to go back to college, and the college found out he had a learning disability for short term memory or something--so he was able to get help succeeding on college.
And then, when I was at the university, one of my friends was a disabled single mother who had to use a wheel chair. Her disability affected her ability to speak and pay attention. And she's going to be graduating this year.
I've also been tutored by a deaf girl who was attending the college (having to use a translator and another person to take her notes).
So, I really feel like if anyone wants to go to college, they should. Because it can be challenging, but it's also very rewarding and possible.
