Sorry, had to.

Now a confession. I ran over 3 Geese & 10 goslings with my truck while going to work this morning & laughed like a deranged lunatic.
 
No offence taken, what so ever... I actually laughed out loud at the video :D
... Untill i saw your confession. Why would you laugh at something like that?

Dude, you're so young. I've got eight years on you and I thought I knew what I wanted to do, and it blew up in my face. I thought I wanted a corporate career with a corner office and all that. I had it, for a year and a half, got laid off, now I'm struggling to find jobs for half of what I used to make. I'm running out of money and options fast. I can't afford to go back to school to redo my life. My path doesn't look auspicious. I should have been more careful and thought things through. But, this decision didn't come early, I certainly didn't think I wanted a business degree at 20. So you've got plenty of time. If 30 rolls around and you still don't know, then you can worry. Right now worry about living in the moment, that's what 20 is for.

Nothing wrong with that at all, I was in exactly the same position, 20 years old and not a clue. I saw a career advisor for some help, lo and behold I should be going to uni in September to do something I'm really interested in, and something really suited to my learning styles and preferences.

Make an appointment with a career advisor if possible, or someone similar. It helped me, a lot.

Thanks for the advice XS and Pagey279. And I hope things work out and get better for you XS.

I think I've figured out the problem. I'm afraid of making a decision and sticking with it. Anyway, life goes on.

And another confession.
I dislike/hate/despise people who refuse to learn to speak English.

Especially when in a situation something like, in a group of people who are new to each other and come from different backgrounds, you would be expected to speak a language which is accessible to as many as possible, and most of the time, that would be English. But nope. Some people would rather speak in a language only people from their background would understand and ignore the others.

I absolutely hate them.

Why, is your language so far more superior that you won't speak another language and would rather leave people out? Not cool dude. Not cool.
So what I do whenever I come across people like this is, I ignore them in return and won't speak the language they're speaking even if I can understand and speak it.

Lol, people. :dunce:
 
Another confession from me:
Although I speak (almost) 6 languages fluently, I still feel I'm bad at each and every one of them :boggled:.
And, my math skills are on the same level as a 6th grader (I would be a 10th grader, if I was in school).

I speak 1.5. You speak 7.5 more than me, don't let it get you down.

See above comment, I can't maths either. ;)
 
Maths. I actually think I would fail my GCSE if I had to do it again right now.

So glad that is over.
 
I screwed up my GCSEs twice in two consecutive years. Hungover and brain-dead for every one. The highest I got was a double C in science.

You're a teacher right? That means C's in maths, english and science right?

Or are the rules different in China?
 
I took my GCSEs more than once. ;)

I work on different credentials now anyway. I've never been asked about my school grades, only my college experience.
 
That reminds me of a guy at school.

He was support staff getting expirience with the ultimate aim of going back to education to do a teching qualification but had a D in maths.

He retook his GCSE on the same day we did our maths GCSE. :lol:

It was odd seeing staff sitting the same exam as the students.

I guess I have very high expectations to myself, which is also described a bit below;

I got a 4 and a 7 in my math exams last year (it's two parts here, for some reason. Our system goes -3 (F), 00 (Fx), 02 (E), 4 (D), 7 (C), 10 (B) and 12 (A). 00 (Fx) and below is failed. 4 is the "middle grade"). The highest I've ever got is A(+) in spoken English. - I still think there must have been an error, because I'm not that good - in anything. So what I'm confessing is, I don't believe in my abilities.

Still, I'm sure you're way better than me, Shem 👍.

I'm 20 years old and I still don't know what I want to do with my life. Neither do I know what I'm doing right now.

:lol:

I am 19 and last year I completely changed my career expectations.


Before last year I always thought I would be doing something science related but then I started my A levels and 1. I could not do maths at that level and 2. I decided I didn't really enjoy it. So now I am going to do politics at university in september.

I'll probably be in school until I'm 25, but for some reason I don't care. I'm basically ruining my life right now. I know I should care but I really don't... :indiff:

Instead of focusing on a useless grade on a silly piece of paper, focus on the fact you speak 6 languages. I've been studying French for 9 years and I'm only just starting to figure it out. Grades don't matter in the grand scheme of things, do your best but don't stress over a test. You speak 6 languages and that's something to be proud of.

Don't put yourself down, dude. I've got 10 years on you and your basic skills are probably still above mine.

I don't think so, to be honest. - I don't know for sure - but I know I feel dumb.

Well, it's not that I focus on my grades, but they'll still follow me until - well, if - I get a job. I don't find it special, and since three of those are almost the same, I'm not even sure if they'll "count". Let me list 'em up:

Danish (primary language)
English (secondary language)
Swedish
Norwegian
German
and almost French.

I got the "right" accent in all languages listed in this post, (but Finnish) including French. For some reason I have very little problems with accents and I "pick" them up pretty fast. After ~5 lessons (45 minutes), I had the French accent. I only had 7 lesson in total, but I can have a conversation in French with very little problems already.

If I should list up languages I can read, (pronounce) and understand, but not talk without help (making sentences correct), the list would be a bit longer;
All of the above plus Polish, Faroese, Icelandic, Dutch, Russian and Finnish.

- I don't think I'm a "polyglot", to be honest.

And, I'm not trying to sound any superior to anyone, because I ain't.

If you are so good with languages have you ever considered being an interpreter?
 
I think, I've considered all jobs available on Earth :odd:. Also those above. Some years ago (2, I think) I wanted to become an interpreter in the European Council, in Brussels.

Anyway, either, they're above my qualification-level or they take too many years I don't want to put into any "job".

How many years then would you consider just right? And were you thinking of switching profession every couple of years? Maybe in fears of the job getting too dull and boring? I'm curious you see. :)



Another confession, this time a more lighthearted one.

I have a crush on 1978 Deborah Harry. :O

Well, honestly, zero :lol:. Sadly, there isn't any job that need less than two years of training. And, I have a hard time committing to - well - anything, so I probably would like to change very often. And, I find jobs boring after max a week. I'm abnormal on that - and many other - points.

Then I don't really have any advice since I have more or less the same problem. :lol:

I have this cousin who's a person that gets bored very easily. He's been that way ever since I've known him. And whaddya know, he's doing a "degree in computer security something" right now.

I'm sure you'll figure it out somehow. :)
