I did it, but now what?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, first of all my name is Carlos, I'm from Mexico and I have autism spectrum disorder, also I just have finished the psychology career (weird, I know), but I did it.

It was really hard for me to have patients and just TALK to them, look them in the eyes, almost everything, but I did it.

That's what I like and that's what I want to do.

My question is: What should I do now? I don't know what do I want most, being a therapist, being a teacher, or just working in a company. I really don't have trouble speaking in public, or with just one person, but I really don't know where I should work.

I need some recommendations

Thank you.

I don't know what is available to you where you live.
Well done for achieving your goal.
I don't know how things work in Mexico. Here in Britain there are usually many medical positions waiting to be filled. Many people come here to work from other countries.
But what aboug Mexico. Any places where you live which require your skills.

You may wish to inventory your skills. Are you better at teaching, or helping a person understand themselves. Working for a company might be attractive if you are good at task accomplishing.

In addition to a sill inventory, you may wish to make a satisfaction inventory. For example, teaching may give greater personal satisfaction or helping someone solve personal problems may give greater satisfaction.

You ay wish to experiment with different jobs working either part time or temporarily to get a feel fro the options available.
