Plan of action

[kellinator]

As in, I need one.

If grad school is indeed not for me, I need to figure out what comes next.

I'm not leaving yet, so I have some time to think. What am I good at?

-- teaching? (my mother reacted very badly tonight when I thought out loud about teaching high school)
-- retail? (a hundred-thousand dollar education for this?)
-- editing? publishing? (hard to find jobs)
-- writing? (really hard to find jobs)
-- prostitution? (just kidding, really)

I guess what I'm trying to say is, does anyone want to hire me to lounge around in a bathrobe and eat bonbons? Kinda like an overgrown Persian cat.

Depends on where you'd be teaching. If it were in a public high school in Tennessee, unless it were Oak Ridge, I'd come find you and drag you off to a mental hospital. (Actually, in the current climate, I'd do that if it were Oak Ridge.)

Have you tried any of these strong interest survey-type tests that many college counseling centers have? I remember taking it, and my top two or three things were all things I seemed well-suited for: journalist (which I sorta am), clergy (I could be a UU minister), and book editor.

*grin* She's going to shoot me for this but....that would make sense.

But he is right. Try one of the 'What am I good at?'
