I am an overthinker, I cannot stop thinking about aspects of my life others lives, heck, the world in general, and this stopps me being able to just do a normal job, I simply cannot settle for a career in reatil or office work, but equally I have to many other talents and interest to choose one, sometimes I feel like I don't want to do anything, basically, is it un realistic of me to feel that I should have a career in which I will be happy, I am driving myself insane, with ideas and observations that I want to share, but feel I will never be able to do them, and even when I am in education I always drop out feeling that it wasn't quite right, aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghh, way to confused to be typing this:(

What talents do you have and what interest/hobbies do you have??

I had the same problem a few years back - I am really into entertainment, that's what I enjoy and that's what where my talent lies. Singing, dancing, acting, DJing and I am really good at organising.

After working as a lifeguard, in Accounts doing Credit Control and doing children's disco's and I eventually branched out and got into the entertainment indusrty. I co-ordinate weddings and other events, I DJ in pubs/clubs - go out on mobiles to do Birthdays of all ages, weddings Etc and I am really happy and content and I can get a job in any sector of this idustry now that I have the experience.

So if you give me an idication of what you are into and good at, I made be able to help.

Hi, Xs,
At 64 yrs old, retired, with 3 college degrees (one a Master's), and having worked 3 major jobs in my working career, I know where you are coming from!
You didn't mention your age, but it's no matter, cause it really doesn't make a difference in most cases.
At 33, I changed from Teaching to Engineering. I've also known others who made drastic career changes at 50. But, after 50, most companies don't want to hire older people, full-time, due too much higher Insurance Costs they have to pay for premiums.
One thing is sure, supported by facts from Unemployment Commissions, State Employment Agencies, etc; and that is, a person with an education has a much, much better chance of getting a higher paying job.
My advice to you is to find something related to what you have already tried, suck it up, and finish college or some schooling, with a diploma or degree. After that, you can decide what career you might want to work at.
Finding a job and sticking with it for awhile will give income, and lead to better things.
I do wish you the very best, and good luck.
