Posted by FoxI don't know... maybe it's just me being depressed right now, but I want to work alone and not be bothered by people at all 😢
what about working as a lecturer?
Posted by AriesIntrovert16Not sure, I don't want to deal too much with people.
What about a merchandiser?

Posted by AriesIntrovert16Yeah, sorry, don't have any problem at all working "with" or "for" somebody. I just don't want to be at the forefront and have to face hundreds of people everyday :/Posted by jpxAn accountant?Posted by AriesIntrovert16Not sure, I don't want to deal too much with people.

You'll always have to work for/with someone, unless you want to be an entrepreneur, and even then you'll still have to sell stuff to other people.click to expand
Posted by FoxThanks! At first I thought it was just the places I worked at, so I did quit.
There are so many possibilities out there, don't ever confine yourself. Start looking at other career options. I'd say still look at the root of the problem and see if there are any ways you can handle it in any way first.
Posted by jpxUnderstandable. Look up jobs for an introvert. How about a court reporter? You'd be like a fly on the wall.Posted by AriesIntrovert16Yeah, sorry, don't have any problem at all working "with" or "for" somebody.

Posted by FoxThank you, you are absolutely right.Posted by jpxPosted by FoxI don't know... maybe it's just me being depressed right now, but I want to work alone and not be bothered by people at all 😢

Hmm working as a lecturer - you have more flexibility as a teacher imo. You'll have time to yourself to work. It also wouldn't be a 9-5 job lecturing everyday. I think you should have a think about it! as you work in an educational field already. Again - so many possibilities out there in the world. 1 stage of your life isn't permanent.click to expand
Posted by starloverThank you! I completely agree with that, it's just such a shame that money always seem to get in the way.
...and despite what people say, it is okay to change your career as many times as you wish
We don't start to grow up until after the Saturn return (around 30, give or take).....so how can we know who we are and what we want to do?
Posted by AriesIntrovert16Never thought about that one! Thanks, I'll look it up 🙂Posted by jpxUnderstandable. Look up jobs for an introvert. How about a court reporter?

Posted by SensitiveBluesWould love to work more in that field, but.. as it seems, the studies that those jobs require are not for me 😢
Data scientist
Posted by SensitiveBluesSorry, didn't know I was "bothering" people really.. I was just looking for suggestions.
Well then figure what is for you!
Why are you bothering us?

Posted by jpxSo, you spend 4 years of your time and money to secure a job working so closely with people that you came to a forum to talk about how much you hate.
It stresses me out completely to work so closely with people
I don't like working with people
Posted by P-AngelWell, no, not really, there are aspects of it that I really do like, which is why I decided to it in the first place.

jfc .... how brainlessclick to expand

Posted by P-AngelLOL, thanks! 😛
Yeah, you should have known better ..... you can chalk that up to being brainless


Posted by jpxI 100% understand. Sounds like you're an introverf for sure. One of my friends status the exact same thing to me. "You'll always have to work with some people!!" Well, yes, of course.. she shouldn't undertake that for me there is a massive difference between working with what feels to me like zillions of people everyday versus with just a few and occasional other interactions here and there.Posted by AriesIntrovert16Yeah, sorry, don't have any problem at all working "with" or "for" somebody.

Posted by P-AngelNo, I'm not helpess.
You're not helpless. You've made this thread, and have taken the attitude to display to us your completely helpless.
How ridiculous it is of you to come in here and ask total strangers what you should do for a living ... as if anyone in here knows your talents, skills and knowledge.
You intentionally choose a vocation that you know you'll hate, because you already know you can't handle the people ... but, you do it anyway, just to pout about how much you hate it.
Acting helpless, when you're not .. isn't cute. And it certainly doesn't help to improve the Virgo image in here where people already think they are thoughtless people.
Posted by duchesslibroThank you, there's a huge difference for me working with other people and to take on the development of others and having to be patient, feeling, compassionate and incredibly flexible to others every day which is what I have to be as a teacher.Posted by jpxI 100% understand.

Also, I am completely drained from experiences in my personal life, and I didn't know those things would happen to me when I started studying to become a teacher either.
Things have changed for me since I was 20, as they do. I might have been able and more suited for this job if those events never happened, but they did.
Oh, so you are just looking for a place to go wa, wa, wa, wa

Posted by aquapiscescuspYeah, that's a good idea! Thanks! 🙂
Become "specialized" in some way through your teaching background where you can act as a consultant or deal with people -- one on one


Posted by jpxno problem, use what you already have built to take you further 🙂Posted by aquapiscescuspYeah, that's a good idea! Thanks! 🙂

She doesn't need help to know it was bad choice P. She knows.

Posted by duchesslibroWe all make bad choices. There are parts of it that works for me, obviously, but I mostly made the choice as a strategic one, to have that security.
You can ignore P-Angel if you'd rather OP. She likely means well but will probably just piss you off.
As if you don't already feel like a failure for spending time and money to secure a career you hate.
She doesn't need help to know it was bad choice P. She knows.


Posted by P-AngelWell, from a professional point of view, the problem is quite the opposite. I've done well in my career.Posted by jpxPosted by aquapiscescuspYeah, that's a good idea! Thanks! 🙂

It was a good idea to NOT spend 4 years of time and money on a career that you knew you'd fail in ..... but, you didn't even listen to your own goddam self.

Posted by P-AngelNo, those thoughts came creeping already 2 years ago.
I love the title, you say you're having second thoughts.
really? seconds thoughts NOW .. after you've already used up 4 years?
So, you had no clue up to this point where second thoughts begin to creep in .. you didn't know until then that you couldn't manage dealing with people?
where have you been living? .... under a rock?
Posted by aquapiscescuspYup, you're right, and I don't plan to do that, I want to try something completely new.
OP, if you had to change careers it's also possible. I worked for a woman who was a teacher for years and then in her forties became a lawyer (more on the consulting side) and made a fortune.
It's never too late to change anything, it's when you procrastinate and feel miserable that it doesn't help you.

Posted by jpx
I wouldn't have quit my job today and I wouldn't have already made plans for new studies. I just wanted to explain my situation.


Posted by P-AngelI know how long it will take, of course I looked that up, why are you making assumptions like this?
Virgos are so brainless, sometimes.
So, you just quit your job ... and don't even have anything lined up.
The course could be full and you cannot take what you want for months, for alls you know ... even when you try to defend yourself in trying to convince me you're not brainless ..... you prove you are.
So, you have an inkling of what you want to do, you like languages ... and without even knowing if you can take courses, nor how long the courses would take to complete, nor what kind of job you could secure afterwards ... you just up and quit your job, and you think that is suppose to make yourself look unfoolish?
Posted by aquasnozThank you, exactly the kind of advice I was looking for.
I remember when I was 15, all I wanted to pursue was arts and design. almost 10 years later whilst studying everything related to it I chose not to pursue the field even after being successful at it.
Funny enough I picked my cafe/bar work back up, throughout all the years of studying I found out that I quite enjoy the job and now years later again I find myself still enjoying it and tackling it from the top. It's weird how I thought being able to work alone and do whatever I want would make me happy, turns out being around people and making them happy makes me happy lol.
There was a transition where I freelanced before moving almost full time in hospitality and even now I enjoy doing the few odd jobs. Maybe start tutoring, I suppose 1on1 setting would be much easier than a whole crowd and less draining?
Look for careers that you feel would do well going solo. Teaching could be mentoring, through other means, perhaps study something you're passionate about and teach others the same passions so you enjoy both worlds.

Posted by aquasnozYeah, the course I'm taking now until summer is 100% online, which is great. Next one is also online.
Definitely some sacrifices along the way but I feel like it's worth it in the long run.
I remember studying full time while working - pretty sure I was a walking zombie half the time. PS caffeine pills don't work!
Have you thought about studying online?

I don't know what to do.
What should I do?
And what should I do for a living?
I like to know exactly what I am supposed to do and how much time I have.

I start on monday, I've known about this for two months.

Posted by P-AngelOh my God, haha. This is certainly not the case, you wouldn't be more way off than this, haha. Where do you get all these things from?
It looks like lies fall out of your mouth with ease.
You can say one thing, and then turn around and say the complete opposite ... and be so dense that you have no idea that the people around you can actually put two and two together.
what the likely scenario is, considering you're not very bright ... is that the school wants to get rid of you because you can't manage to remember what you lied about, and they cannot have you influencing the children.
Posted by P-AngelOf course I'm not SURE of what to do.

Posted by jpxI think you'll do fine 🙂 you mentioned you relate to the Aquarius Rising, part of being one is embracing the change and just go with it. I feel like perhaps it's the virgoness analyzing this too much and wanting second opinions? 😛Posted by aquasnozYeah, the course I'm taking now until summer is 100% online, which is great.

I need to work part time while doing this though, I have money saved up to get me by for a while, and if things get tough, I can always go back to my profession, no difficulty getting a job there but I would really like to try something different, if you know what I mean.click to expand

I'm now a fully certified teacher in five different subjects and I've been working since 2011. First two years were fine, since then it has been a constant battle for me.
It stresses me out completely to work so closely with people, to have people around me all day along.
I will literally be so tired when I get home that I can't talk to anyone or be around anyone.
Without getting into further detail, being a teacher in my country is among the most stressful and underappreciated jobs you can possibly have.
I don't know what to do. I ask everyone around me and they can all see that I'm unhappy but that the decision is mine.
Is there any help for me here?
What should I do?
And what should I do for a living?
I already know I need a clear structure. I like structure, I learn things pretty fast, I like to know exactly what I am supposed to do and how much time I have.
I can have unorthodox solutions and ways of getting there, but I always get things done.
I prefer working by myself and with clearly structured assignments, I don't like working with people.
I want to work with organizing things, I like helping, being somebody's right hand.
