My Job

03/19/2015 6:54 PM

Hello everyone,
What job do you think best suits me based on this:
I am down for the struggle if it completes my goal at the end, but try to find the easiest solution to reach it.
I prefer to work alone than with partners
I am independent
100% goal driven and ignore anything that is going to slow it
If I don't think it's right for ME, I don't do it UNLESS I am obliged, but always keep searching for a solution to end that
I make something out of nothing (DIY)
I'm only direct if I'm asked to be, otherwise I keep my true thoughts for myself.
I listen to angry rap when I'm pissed and use it as a motivation to complete a hard task.
example of songs I listen to: KRS-Underground/ Abou Layla Lzir-Nik ekhet roumieh/ Edd Abbas- Armeed
Finally, I was going to go for engineering for job security/money/not boring, but I found that unless you inherit big money/you are lucky/go to Harvard, the lamborghini life is not possible.
Therefore, I choose to do what I love, but cannot figure it out.
examples of jobs I am thinking of: bouncer, bodyguard, soldier.
Unfortunately, I am not ready to take steroids/be a big fat dude to be a bouncer, I find bodyguard a little boring, and being a soldier is a very high risk for my life.
Thank you in advance.

I think that you should seek advice and counsel from your peers:

I Am Lost | Support Group with Personal Stories, Forums ...

I think that you are wasting your time here, again.

Stop getting so p***** that you need to listen to angry rap music and handle your difficulties with less cliche.

Pay attention to the things you do great and seek an entry into that field.

You have just described being a standard teenager.

Being a bouncer is boring. Take it from me, I actually worked as one and I am small. People think twice when the bouncer is smaller than them (yes, a real Jack of all Trades).

Therefore, I choose to do what I love, but cannot figure it out.

I guess "energypassion97" was not the right call for a handle then. You and us on CR4 can talk and talk, but in the end you have to at least TRY something and see if you like it.

bouncer, bodyguard, soldier

At the very least take martial arts classes. Don't like martial arts, physical exercise or taking orders from others, then these jobs are not for you.

Try some things, its the only real way. Don't think about the money, find something you enjoy and turn a job into a career.

<...a standard teenager...>

Is there such a thing? [Steps back in amazement...]

EP97 quote "I prefer to work alone than with partners",

Anything in the science arena including engineering is a team.

Teachers can be solo artists, so go get a PHD in history using rap music studies, or something along that line that you currently are an expert.

I was a bouncer for many years up into my mid 40's. it isn't a career, its a way of having fun and meeting an endless stream of drunk women. you sound too independent for the solder gig. get as much education as you can stuff into your life, it will come to you

Frankly, I don't think there's any hope for you.

Every time you have come here, you have demonstrated a total lack of maturity, and wanted the forum to GIVE you a path to riches without any effort on your part.

Grow up, get a life and figure it out for yourself!

Makes one continue to wonder,,, we have here what appears to be another "here I am world, where is my success" (fame/fortune/whatever) and "don't expect me to work for it". I've seen way too many of those.

It is rare that someone will guide another into a career that suits them. You do, indeed, have to figure it out for yourself.

Midnight cowboy would be the perfect career for you.

Human Resources Director, LynDoor Industries: I see on your employment application that you are interested in becoming a part of the R&D Section of LynDoor Industries 710 Caps. This is a mature technology, and a product that, frankly, needs little improvement. What can you bring to the table that we are not already doing?

EnergyPassion97: I am down for the struggle if it completes my goal at the end, but try to find the easiest solution to reach it.

HR: I see… an excellent non-answer. Would you say you do well as part of a team?

EP97: I prefer to work alone than with partners.

HR: Hmmmm… well… wait a minute, let's have a look… I remember EOD need some new meat… yes here it is. We have positions open in another division that might suit you, positions where, frankly, nobody will want to be around you while you are working.

EP97: I am independent.

HR: All right, we might be getting somewhere. If I give you a ticking bomb, and your job is to stop the ticking - render the device inactive - turn it off - Can you do that?

EP97: 100% goal driven and ignore anything that is going to slow it.

HR: EXCELLENT! You're a go-getter, a problem solver then?

EP97: If I don't think it's right for ME, I don't do it UNLESS I am obliged, but always keep searching for a solution to end that.

HR: Well, at LynDoor Explosive Ordinance Disposal, we generally try to avoid phrases like "Always keep searching for a solution to end that."

EP97: I make something out of nothing (DIY)

HR: Well, okay… might be best to just sit there and be quiet, I'm going to offer you a high paying job.

EP97: I'm only direct if I'm asked to be, otherwise I keep my true thoughts for myself.

HR: That's good. Nobody cares what you think anyway. When can you start?

Perhaps you should sell something or think about your own business

Another option is freelance. I think you will succeed in this. Work for themselves. Don't depend on your boss. I think that's good for you. For example here are constantly in need of new authors https://writingcreek.com/resume-writing/ . You can write about what you are interested in and earn. Improve your skills and increase the cost of services. I wish you good luck.
