Trying to think about what I know, what I can do. I have a hard time thinking of anything. I am Jon Snow, I know nothing.
I've gone to primary school and I've learnt the basics. I've learnt how to count, how to speak and write basic words, sentences, conversations in my native language of English.
I then went to high school and I learnt more of those skills, allowing me to expend my in-build dictionary and thesaurus, I learnt how to use correct grammar, however I'm defiantly not good at that, nor am I a great speller. But I can make it work. I learnt more complicated math, including some algebra, fractions and how to find the curcumfrence of a circle.
One thing I remember being asked a lot was, "what did you want to be when you were older? What did you want to do after you left school?". Here I am, 22 years old and still not completely knowing what I want to do when I'm older. Well, I guess that means now really.
I'm half thinking I want to go into marketing, but I'm still not sure.
There is a general rule when getting a tattoo. Think of the thing you want and where you want it, if you still like that idea after a full year, then you can get it. A tattoo is something that you have for your entire life and if you want it removed, you have to go spend a tonne of money and it takes what, one or two months to remove the tattoo?
I want to apply that rule to a career, but at this stage in my life, I have to pick. Now. I can't wait 3 more years. I need to job now, but again, I feel like I know nothing.
"Go back to school!" I hear you think. But it's not that easy. Why go to school for one thing when you're not sure what you want. Even then, marketing. To study that, I can't study it where I am right now. I'd have to move. I don't have money to move house, to pay bills, buy food, pay for my study. I can't do that with the little money I have.
"Then get a job!" I hear you think even louder. Where I am, jobs are taken. Even if I do apply to anywhere that can hire me, I'm not hired. It's a small town, there really isn't anywhere to work. Especially with my no experience.
I was thinking. why don't I look into working at home.
I feel being a blogger is out of the question. I feel it's really too hard to get an audience with this. But I could be wrong.
YouTube? I'm trying but it's still going to be years before I start making money off it. That's even IF I end up making money off it.
Then we look at other thing, a virtual assistant? I'm really too shy to work with people, and if I needed to, I think I'd prefer to do it in person.
Freelance writer? I feel like I'm.. not the best writer. This can also be applied to the blogging thing but when it comes to freelance writing, I'm not sure. I'll have to look into it more.
I should really go. If you have any ideas for me, please feel free to leave a comment somewhere!
