I donā€™t know what to do with my life. The only thing that remotely appeals to me is secondary teaching. I gain satisfaction from seeing lightbulb moments after teaching someone how to do something, I think of myself as a relatively patient person, I care about student welfare and am passionate about the subject areas I want to teach.

Iā€™ve always struggled with school (partly due to undiagnosed ADHD that Iā€™m still not medicated for) and also I know Iā€™d be perceived as a pushover and not know what to do when a kid is behaving poorly. I was perceived that way when tutoring.

My parents say they donā€™t see me in the classroom. They say to do something in the medical field thatā€™s not medicine or nursing.

Iā€™m in my last semester of my degree majoring in psychology. Iā€™ve been merit listed for HR jobs which probably means I wonā€™t get something. I will probably end up going into further study, but even teaching is starting to not appeal to me anymore. I donā€™t know what to do and the pressure is mounting to decide.

Part of me just wants to run away to the other side of the world and work as a bartender, because it would work with my sleep schedule and making drinks seems fun.
