How should I apply my talents?

Asked by rOs (3531points) June 13th, 2011

If you’ve followed me before you already know the gist; I’m 22, with a good family, loving girlfriend in college, and a decent life in Overland Park, Kansas (near Kansas City). I’m a spiritual thinker, with a penchant for all information, and all of the colorful traits that make us ADHD people interesting.

My schooling happened before I really started to “get it”. I had a decent GPA of 3.5 in high school. In college I have maybe 15 credits, mainly general education, but I dropped out near the end of Fall ‘08.

I have worked three serving jobs, delivered pizza, made sandwiches, and I’ve even done food preparation and dish washing. For the past 9 months I’ve been working a job that has given me experience in sales, computer skills, copy/printer/fax usage, data management, and customer service.

Some of my skills/traits are that I’m personal, articulate, collaborative, helpful, patient, and well mannered. I have a knack for getting to the heart of things with people and situations. I’m intuitive, and excel at divergent thinking and problem solving. I can visualize complicated ideas and processes, even compose music in my head. I’m a fast learner, and a perfectionist when I have to be.

I have resources to go back to school if that is what I should do, but I’m not sure if I could afford to quit my job. Of course, I want to get a job that would better suit me. I’m not complaining, though, I know how hard it is to get a decent job. If I could do something more fulfilling with my life, and I’m just not seeing it, I would want to know.

Clearly, I’m not sure what I want to be when I grow up. I feel like there are options I haven’t considered, and I would like to hear what the community thinks.
