I need your help. It's been 6 years out of high school and I still lack means to support myself. I hit a plateau in my life. I have no skills or notable achievements to my name since. What do I do? Which job should i settle for?

How can I practice with myself the interview process? Sorry, but I don't want to have to get my personal assistants involved, they only increase my anxiety.

What about complete retraining, via study or traineeship? I'm going this way for similar reasons. I will NOT return to the industry I was in before I got sick. Now recovered, my only real choice is complete career change.
If you think you don't have any skills, retraining to acquire new ones in a new area could open things up for you.

Have you tried doing a bunch of different MOOCs and seeing which ones you like?

What have you done with your life for the last six years?

Four of those last six years were when I was in a day camp for a local disability group.
