Hey everyone,
I'm new to this board and found it when googling : 24 years old and no job ...lol....sad :/
I live in a family of 5, and my parents can be really overbearing....they regard me as the smartest and have had high hopes for me ever since I graduated highschool and cegep and I was the 1st to go to College.....I still wasn't sure what to do with my life but my parents insisted that I start it soon to not waiste valuable time..so they picked something for me...teacher....at 20 I went to College in education and at 24...I just dropped out ..being one training away from getting my diploma......for 4 years I tried telling them that it isnt the job I want to do but they just wouldn't listen to me..and they help me pay for it half and half..so...me quitting wasn't an option.....after having a panic attack before my training and depression following I quit..
I don't like teaching and certainly am not good at..I actually had difficulty during those 4 years when it came to the trainings in real classes ( we have to do 4 trainings, as in work as a teacher in a class with a supervisor evaluating us)...theory is easy but actually doing it for real isnt......but my parents just don't want to admit this career isnt for me...
Now I quit College...and I don't know what career to pursue...I'm stuck home everyday and I have to listen to their constant yelling and insults....'' you can't do anything else because you're not good at it '' '' you can't find a job '' '' you won't be succesdul in w/e branch you chose '' '' why can't you finish anything '' '' your 24 and you have no college degree, no place of your own, no relationship '' ect....
Yes, I'm a 24 year old girl...I've never had a boyfriend....I've been asked out a few times but I always refused cause I'm just afraid ....I'm really shy..and I have poor social skills...even my brothers look down upon me....my big bro has a full time job and got married this year, my twin bro is in college and will graduate next year...I feel like the black sheep of this family...I feel like I let everyone down with my decision...and I'm like this black stain that's tainting this families reputation.....ugh...
My mom asked me to come work with her till december and then go back to school and try again.....but I don't want to do this anymore...and if I try I know I'll fail, I just have no love and passion for teaching....even my teachers can see that why can't them...
What do you guys think I should do...I feel like such a whimp right now...whinning and all.....but I'm really lost and I feel like I'm all alone in this mess and I'm scared that being 24 and starting all over again feels....like it's terrible...my family makes me feel terrible...like finishing college at 27 or 28 would be a sin you know...it's all about money and time for them....
I'm going to work till december that's for sure...but no way I'm going back to college in education....I want to take things in hand but I'm scared to do it.....what if they kick me out for my decision....I actually want to to leave the house and find my own place to live but I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a job to pay for school and an apartment..... What I earn in 3 months will only be enough for 1 session in College...and I got till November to pick a program.....
I'm sorry for being such a pain and for my long vent but I'm really feeling lost and unhappy right now -__-
