How did you choose your career? Was it randomly? Did you experience new things? Did you get help of someone (psychotherapist, friend, etc)? Is it something that you like to do nowadays?
I’m thinking in changing career, but I’ll give a chance to my college again to see if I find something that I like to do (I study Design).
I went to a career fair at my college and just stumbled upon it and fell in love. I don’t work anymore though. But when I am able to go back to school/work I’ll go back in the same field.
Unfortunately there isn’t aa career fair at my university, but it is a good idea.
My business choose me, My bosses were bouncing my pay checks so had to do hauling on the side for money, I liked it so just continued to do it full time, was a rough road but 20 years later still doing it.
I stumbled into special education completely at random. I needed a job desperately, because I had a family to support. There was a job that paid way more than any other entry level job in the area, taking a boy with autism to summer camp every day. I had no idea what to expect when I took the job. My first day, I got bitten, pinched, punched, kicked, and spit on. But, somehow, I just fell in love. The small victories when a child reaches a goal make all the pain totally worth it.
@brugluiz I am not sure what I would do, I could do lots of things, but the thing that interested me most
is mathematical research.
However considering advances in artificial intelligence it may be that I will do math just for fun,
or do something else if there still will be a need to earn money.
Needless to say, I can do no jobs currently I am an invalid(mental invalid, physically I’m doing fine).
I had been fired from my job and a friend recommended I put in an application where he worked so I did. I got a call and got a job with them. I’ve been working here since 2010 and hope to get a temporary promotion soon in order to make my job a career.
I really enjoy my work. And my team leader is happy with my work so I think it shows that I enjoy the job.
It’s a very supportive work environment.
Thank you for the answers, guys! It seems that the job chose you (and with luck). I can’t handle a job which will be stressful for me, that’s why I’m concerned. Some stress is possible for me but a lot of it, isn’t. And I think I can’t do a good work if I’m stressed.
I don’t know if my case is like yours, but I thought I had a lot of cognitive impairments until I learned coding HTML and CSS. Maybe I have some cognitive impairments, but, what can I do? Wait for meds? No, I try to study anyway.
I’ve never had a career but I’ve certainly had jobs. It’s always best to make sure that the job is suitable so you don’t end up making yourself ill, which I’ve done recently.
@brugluiz thanks for the helpful input.
Unfortunately I have serious cognitive problems, including of course impairment.
Yes I can study I can do something.
I can’t study properly however.
Still it is important for me to try to study, since keeping yourself occupied is very good,
and I have nothing to lose from trying to study.
Hell knows perhaps one day I will even be able to study successfully!
In the past I was able to, after the disease struck.
I think so as well. When I worked as an animation artist it was very stressful. I wasn’t psychotic but I probably had depression.
There is a new Erez emerging then

W3schools is a good place to learn html and css
Yeah, I learned a lot with W3Schools, but I don’t think HTML and CSS is my way.
I took my first accounting class in high school and I was good at it so got a college degree but of course this illness hit me so I never got a chance to make a career out of it.
It would have been easy for me to have been a NYPD police officer, for my late father was a NYPD police officer, my late uncle was a NYPD police officer, and practically all of my adult friends were NYPD police officers (you can say that I was frequently surrounded by police officers (in a good way)).
Nope, no police officer for me, for I wanted to travel the world. I chose to be a U.S. Navy Intelligence Specialist.
I chose my career of nursing by watching soap opera’s in the early 1980’s and thinking the nurses had an easy job. Really, that’s how I chose.
I’m an artist. I share my work whenever i can
