work

[soserious]

ok, so
what jobs can someone start at a high pay?
like 18-24k a year?

im not interested in being a policeman heh.
i understand teacher is very hard work and can be very stressful, lots of pre study blah.
im no drug dealer or thief either.

i want not to be just scraping by all the time- have enough to go away sometimes and not worry about money, enough to change what i hate about my face, be able to have enough to feed myself properly ect.
and fund anarchy 99 :twisted: :wink:

this isnt a half hearted thread im going to ignore, i really am bad at thinking things through and i freeze when i try to make decisions *freakin traumatic childhood*.

i dont want to neccesarily look to make a career out of something-not yet anyway. but rather just jump into a job of real good pay and in return do it as well as i can for a year or two. now i know that sounds stupid but im sure its possible.
my problem is jobs that can handle with a guy whos energy levels are erratic and prone to big drops making him out of action as and when. my last boss was saying in a nasty way "youre always tired!" prick.. ovcourse im always tired. id like to hurt that dipshit right now. fucker.

but yeah, im 23 nearly 24 but ive got about as much idea as the working world as a 15 year old :x although ovcourse ive had jobs and worked hard ect. fitness instructor, gym manager and instructor, waiter, working in a garage in the shop part of it, tried out for a sabrewatch security guard (they kicked me out cos they didnt like MY attitude- they should look at themselves first,blah!).

people often mention stuff as if its common knowledge to me, i havent a clue. it was only recently that i knew of such a thing as Citizens Advice Bureau, and such.
im really inexperienced of the world in some ways and thats holding me back in some ways.
blah.

SS, You're still young with Your whole life ahead of You. I'd advice trying to find a job You like rather than something that pays good money (being the only reason). A combination of those two would be perfect but it's often almost impossible to find, unless You're determined to study hard for it. You're a deep thinker, SS, and I'm sure You may have an idea of Your dream job. If You already can do it, then start seeking for it... and if You can't do it yet, study, study and study... until You can do it. No job comes ready on a silver plate, and nobody will knock on Your door and offer the job... You'll have to reach for it Yourself. Good luck for the journey, my friend!

SS depends on your qualifications. Also what are your interests. I wish i were you at your age, I could so try and make acareer happen that I wanted. Instead I got suckered into making a career out of the first job I got. i must say that fitness instructor was one of early goals though. but i don't think my better half would like me so close to other women. Anyway man, try to focus on what you like and what you're good at and what you're interested in. Also at the start of acareer money is always scarce until you become an expert at something. Then the bucks roll in. If your qualifications as a fitness instructor are recognised then why not try and get a job abroad for a while, or on a cruise ship or something?
Hey why don't I do that?

Good luck man. :lol:

[soserious]

THANKSGUYS, bOBO IM 23 VERY NEARLY 24- IVE USED UP A BIG BUNCH OF MY LIFE ALREADY TECHNICALLY. oops caps- sorry.
good advice though, actually i was going to work on a cruise ship- but since ive got my apartment which although crap compared to my old house is actually overally not bad at all- especially the fact i have a yard even though it is very small and very public ect.
so in that respect i feel tied down and nervous to leave it since i rent and id never get it back.

hmm. i have no dream job really, but Bobo youre right- a job i like should be the main factor since im a highly strung easily stressable guy. when ive had bad jobs i hate every minute of everyday was a major stress to me and my body just couldnt take much of that now, id probably have a frikkin hart attack or something.

hmm.
ive always liked art but i have little patience often.
i really dont know- that is a very giood question. heh, maybe throw people out of aeroplanes lol ...parachuted ovcourse. i dunno but for sure i want something FUN.

a job where my/a boss treated me like shit would last just until i stuffed their head in a filing cabinet. i am very untolerant of abuse like that. and i can imagne at least half the "desk" jobs out there ae like that.

i guess work forms a major part of somones lifestyle. ive been so boring so long i really have a lot of fun stuff to make up for.
hmm. i will think further on this over the next few weeks.
(i want to return to this thread when i get back)

You being 24 years old means You still have 40 years of working ahead of You, and only a few behind You. See my point? You still have loads of time to make moves, to study... whatever takes You closer to Your dream job. A good salary isn't worth it if the job sucks all energy from Your system, trust me, I know what I'm talking about. You're often talking about how You have "wasted" a big part of Your life, but You're still young and most of Your life is still ahead. Nothing is lost yet, not too late for anything. I know people who started studying at their 50's, and they got the jobs they wanted. You still have all the possibilities, my friend!

Oh, BTW: I was 24 when I started studying, and before that I was working my ass off with very poor salary.

[soserious]

yeah, i imagine youve worked very very hard since day 1.
and yes, i know a bad job can destroy you, infact i quit my last job because it made me ill.

40 years left for most people- but not meaning to sund morbid. (actually rather matter-of-fact) i dont expect to "naturally" live that long. family trait.. at least it is for my closest male relatives as ive said before. besides ive had that attitude of "laisse fair" (sp?) and its made me blase about everything, and in turn ive just let life opportunities slip away.
my problem, im TRYING to deal with it.
but not very successfully t the moment.
what pisses me off is that i worked very hard dragging myself up from nothing- mentally and physically and then i just quit and went backwards..i did it once i guess i can do it again although the circumstances are now less on my side.

i`ll see.
*dissapointed in myself*

Which one would have done the most damage in Your opinion: quitting the straining job and having to deal with unemplyment, or staying at the job working Your ass off?

You live as long as You're willing to put Your efforts to it, I mean taking care of Yourself mentally and physically will make You live longer unless You get unlucky with some sort of sickness. The way You've been threating Yourself lately will definately make You sick younger than You should, but it isn't too late to fix it yet. You're the only one who can help, and I truly hope You will find the needed strength to straighten Your back.

Maybe you should enlight in the army reserves. Get good pay, get taught a trade, learn discipline and get to use weapons. Sounds like the perfect career for you,

[soserious]

actually im still srriously considring the military here.

thing is.. id lose my home if i was in full army service (id like to be Aviation groundscrew specialist.)

or if i did TA, it might not be the full on effect i need,also im scared to get injured severely or also my attitude is very bad towards "authority figures".. i dont know how long id last after killing my superior officer for pissing me off :twisted:

but then IF it is what i need im scared of missing my oportunity (max age 26)

[Godma]

How do you maintain a home on 4K a year - or whatever it is you said you earn?

[Bobo]

actually im still seriously considring the military here.
Why not? You'd have to deal with the authority figures there, but at least they'd give You enough food and exercise.
