Perfection is all in the mind

Life and Career Choices

I had previously used this blog for a school project and did not realize that it existed until I tried to sign up for a new account. Hmmm... lately I've pondered what choices and qualities I possess that gave me the idea of going into the major of Family Studies. I gave it up as a result of emotional family difficulties and shyness and graduated with a General Studies degree with concentrations of Criminal Justice and Sociology instead. Well here I am a few years later wondering what to do... I am not emotionally and financially ready for Graduate school, nor do I care about my job sitting in a cubicle all day.... what to do? Well I thought about going to Grad school to study Health Policy but it is not actually a career, more of an interest. I googled US Best Graduate Schools for Health Policy Programs and found a forum of individuals who have MPH or MS Health Policy and they have not been able to apply themselves. I have ideas about Universal Healthcare or Assistance with Health Insurance, but I was informed by Grad schools that I should have some medical or health experience, which I have neither of, just personal experience. Then I thought about Pharmacy, but I am horrible at Science and Math. I just dropped a trigonometry course for my poor grades. I also believed it was because I did not stay consistent by taking my focus complex; Neuro PS. I'm also really burnt out of school at the moment. I can't work in a hospital setting because I had a double lung transplant therefore I would be exposing myself. I've always wanted to work with kids as in a learning center but my doctor's said that kids carry disease and are constantly sick, therefore I should not work with kids. So I thought about counseling... but that requires more school. It's tough finding a job as it is; and finding a job where I am not sitting all day and or exposing myself to sick places is tough. I am a great observer, shy, friendly, petite, and hate whiners. I learn quickly and can apply myself to anything I am taught. My work history is very random; computer technician, beauty advisor, and legal assistant. I prefer physical and creative work over mundane non-physical work. I am not looking for 1 specific thing, I'm good at a lot of things.
