| Im all screwed up. God gave me talents that are useless!?
My strongest talents are working with my people, creative ideas, words and using my body.Those are things I excel at. What occupations use all my talents----and still make greatmoney??My weaknesses are math and science and those are the fields where you make good money.Teaching and journalism utilize some my talents but there is no money in those fields.I hate math, science, construction trades, business, engineering, healthcare fields because allthey deal with is math or science. I hate math and science. Im not good at it and Im notinterested in it. Both subjects bore me to death. I dislike math, measurements, and science. Yet there is ONE ELEMENT in “those professional math and science trades” where you haveto use your body and get physical-----which is the part I love. And the part im very good at. Ilove using my body. I love getting physical. I would rather use my body instead of sitting at an office job any day.I love social science fields. I love people. I love studying people. Biographies. Celebrities. I lovebeing around people. I love writing, reading, exploring, researching. Those are my gifts. Butwhat fields offer decent salaries and avoid sitting at a desk? For example, a guy who likes to sit at a desk all day, is good at math, loves crunchingnumbers.....will excel and be happy in a job that fits his talents.. He will also make good moneyin those fields and be fulfilled. Those fields would be banker or accountant. He clicks with hisjob and he is happy. Another example, a guy who loves science, likes using his body a lot, loves medicine, tinkeringwith things, loves investigating things would make a good MD or surgeon. He clicks with hiscareer.My problem is that I DONT CLICK with a career. I have “ying for no yang.” I have yang forno ying.” All my talents dont fit the needs of the job. I may love physcial jobs but If I dislike thework involved and no interest in the work. If i dont liek measuring things or math why would Iwork in construction? Hence, my physical talents and strength are now useless... If I like writingand am good at writing books or lesson plans but I cant stand sitting at a desk all day doingpaperwork---where is the fulfillment? I would be miserable sitting at a desk all day. I needphysical action. I dont click in with any job. It doesnt surprise me why i “job hop” so much. Ilike bartending, bellhopping, doing some construction and action environments----but I quitthem after a short time because I feel so unfilled. My physical talents get used but not mywriting, people, creative talents. Then I go back to teaching and mentally I get fulfilled...but mybody isnt fulfilled---then i start getting restless like I need to start doing something with my body. I want ONE SOLID CAREER that uses my all my talents. Actor is only the career I can think of that uses all my gifts. But slim chance of making it inHollywood at my age. Any suggestions????
