<p>First off, I'm not looking for advice about inventory tests. I'm 29 (almost 30), I like writing, but writing is a terrible job market right now. I'm have aspergers (now high-funct autistic), so I can network, but it just takes a lot more effort. I need breaks from it. I thought about trade school, but they don't offer any degrees I'm looking for (I have no intention to move for one, especially on my budget). I'm afraid of moving unless its for a job or school. I have thought about accounting, but just sure I would like, math wasn't my favorite class. Vet Tech salary 29,000 a year, but I don't think that's enough for me to be there to put animals down. I really hated being there when my pets were put down. My gpa below the minimum for grad schools, and I made the fatal mistake of not getting internships. I got a low gpa (2.7) in a mass comm degree (introverted, but took it because I liked movies and tv). I have a job in at pizza place and convenient store, but not interested in a career in management or sales. The jobs at job affairs and online listings that I'm qualified for don't offer anything I'm looking for, mostly just work in sales, marketing, food and store management.. My interests are movies, media and politics, animal science (not pet grooming, yuck), writing, physical science, and history. I was thinking about getting another degree in either accounting, biomedical engineering, English, or maybe computer science. Most of the volunteer opportunities I find online are mostly for health-care fields, construction, chaperoning children, so they don't offer the experience I'm looking for. I thought about becoming a paralegal, but heard the workforce is getting tough in that area. PS. Work Certificates and trade school programs don't offer any career fields that fit my interest.</p>
<p>Let’s help you out by starting at the beginning.</p>
<p>You’ve listed some subjects that you liked–but not what kind of work that you like. Your post was all about what you don’t want to do–what would you LIKE to do? If you don’t like math–why are you considering biomedical engineering and computer science, as both are extremely math intensive? </p>
<p>What kind of WORK do you want to do? you completed your bachelors degree–do you want to go for another bachelors, or for a masters degree?</p>
<p>you also mentioned your Asbergers diagnosis and that you are high functioning. But does this diagnosis lead you to prefer one kind of work environment over another? Would you prefer to work in a more solitary environment, or with a team of people? </p>
<p>What possibilities are there for you with the degree that you have? Mass communication majors can do a lot of different things.</p>
<p>As a first step, what about volunteering your communication skills to organizations that do work in areas of interest to you? For example, could you volunteer to maintain the website/do online marketing presence/ write a blog for a political cause or candidate that you support ? Maybe this way you could develop some expertise and some contacts in an area that interests you. Maybe this could segue into a job you would like, or it would point you into or away from a potential career area/advanced degree/</p>
<p>Marketing and PR were not things I was interested. I took Mass Comm because I was interested in tv and movies… Most of the jobs that’s, not a whole it on the market, are jobs that require more introversion and social networking. I just have not interest in working in the marketing and pr field.</p>
<p>I prefer a more solitary environment, but don’t think working for home would be a good idea. I need a job that gets me out of the house. The reason I looked into biomed engineering and computer is because I’m good at basic math, just not the more complex math areas. I realized engineering may have more math than I could handle well.</p>
<p>I would be interested in a job in the movie business, or science jobs involving history and animals, but the job market is tough in all those fields. Plus my introverted would make it extremely difficult to break into the movie business.</p>
<p>I haven’t been any jobs like that, except the pr-oriented ones</p>
