I Feel Like My Chosen Career Path Isn’t Fulfilling To Me
Work & Career / by Rustypotato

...See more Right out of high school, I went to a trade school for auto mechanics. Just to note, I am a woman in the field. The other night, my boyfriend asked me if I saw myself at the same job in the next 5 years. For context, I was an apprentice, but decided I didn’t want to go flag rate, so I’m back to being an hourly lube tech. He’s also a technician at the same place, but he’s really good at what he does and he is a flag rate tech. I would rather have an hourly job where I can have financial security, but the next step up from being a lube tech, is to become a main line tech. There is also an unreliability in being a service advisor and being a car salesman. I do want to go to a job where I can grow and also make enough money to pay my bills, but I feel like I can’t do anything without an actual college degree other than doing fast food service(was in it for 2 years), which I wouldn’t be able to live on. I also don’t have the money to go to college and I don’t want to take out student loans. I don’t know what to do. I feel like I’m stuck and I keep applying to other jobs, but no response. I’m also not sure what I actually want to do

...See more Right before my period comes, I get super annoyed and mad and sad so easily. I know that it’s normal to have mood swings, but is there any way that I can lessen it? I don’t want to wind up like my mom and hurt other people around me. I feel like I have a pretty good life style. I eat healthy and feel rested when I wake up in the morning, so I don’t think it’s a sleep issue. I can’t afford an actual therapist(hence why I’m on here) so I’m just looking for advice.
