Nerve Dating Confessions

January 10, 12:09AM Hey NDCers: How did you find your profession? This is relevant because I am kind of languishing in the service industry, and I suspect my girlfriend wishes I had a better gig. I like her and don't want to be dumped, but I don't know how to find it! I dropped out of university by the way. Please don't tell me I am a fucking asshole and I deserve to be poor. I need constructive thoughts! CAN RELATE (2) CAN'T RELATE (1) FLAG FOR ABUSE

Go to a trade school.

The route to a better profession is entirely dependent on what you want to do, so your first step is to decide what you would be interested in doing and also what you're good at. You must have some idea.

I became a nurse after becoming a CNA, and wanted to do a more intensive type of care, I was prevented doing a lot of skilled work because I wasn't a nurse. I became a CNA to work my way through college. Going to nursing school was the best investment I ever made. Now I can go to any state in the union and get a good job. Added plus, is going into a field normally full of women, being a straight man myself.

Find out what you are interested in and get educated in that area. While you are at it, look around and see what jobs there are out there, what pay you NEED to maintain yourself at a suitable standard, and what is best suited to you. For example, executive assistants earn good money. Good luck.

Additionally, it's nice you want to make some changes to better your relationship. But you should want this for yourself. I have a masters degree and a pretty good job and i am always thinking of how i can better my situation (whether that is more money or a job i enjoy more). You should want to better your situation regardless of your relationship. As everybody said, figure out what it is you want to do, and seek out the appropriate training, whether that is college or whatever. Good luck with your search.
