I know I am not the only 30 something limping along in a leaky boat hoping to bail faster than the water comes in and dreaming of eventually getting somewhere without having a damned clue where I'm going or how to get there.
I have a Bachelors degree in nothing on particular (literally! It's in General Studies. Dad said go to college, he didn't say what for. So I took anything interesting and changed every time the classes got hard or boring. 7 years for a 4 year degree in going to school.) I've trained to be a Birth Doula and love the work but there is very little call for it in my area. I want to help people but I am an empathic introvert so I get overwhelmed, distracted and burned out quickly. Things like social work or organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters that require scheduling and a specific work load take the life right out of me in just a few months.
I have experience in retail, reception, school bus driving, inventory, they are all so boring that I am ready to write on the walls in my own excrement after a few weeks.
I would love to make money from knitting or sewing or soap making or making layouts for cob houses but there's no money in thise things.
I could blog if I had anything to blog about that wasn't already done and done again. I would love to blog about my little patch of land and my garden and building my cob house and my goats, if I could somehow managed to get any of those things. Oh and if I knew how to blog.
I've never felt so directionless. Any ideas or encouragement are welcomed.
Tl;dr Overeducated introvert with no direction and no job needs more input.
