There was a job that involved sitting on my ass telling people what to do. I’d excel at a job like that, hell I already do that for free so why not try to make a career of it? Unfortunately sitting on your ass and bossing people around doesn’t pay well, at least not for people like me so I have to find another career choice. So far I’ve ruled out anything in the medical profession, because I quite simply can’t deal with the emotional stress involved, and anything in the teaching profession because I don’t have the patience to teach people who don’t want to be there.
What does that leave? I’m considering becoming a real estate agent, simply because I absolutely love real estate, however, I’m not entirely certain that it’s a practical notion because you work mainly off of commission as opposed to having a set salary. I don’t want to have to worry about having to sell a house by the end of the month or give up hydro, I grew up worrying about money and I don’t want to have to do that to my future children. So real estate is still an option, but it might not be my best option.
Law is something else that I find fascinating, however, law school is expensive and to get in I’d probably need a little more than a GED, which I don’t even have! Which is the crux of my problem, I have no diploma stating that I have at least x amount of education because my parents chose to not let us go to public school. When I was 16 years old I was going to go to high school, but several personal issues popped up that prevented me from doing so for the next few years. Now I feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place because even with a GED in hand there’s no guarantee that colleges and universities will accept that without further proof that I’m at least as smart as someone who passed grade 12.
So what can an uneducated, fat and not-so intelligent hick do? Not a whole lot, but I could always turn to PPP to get extra cash! I kid, I kid, I wish I were sleazy enough to throw advertising down my visitors throats and make money off of it, but I’m not so I’ll have to actually get an education to be anything else. Providing I can’t find something that pays well and doesn’t involve selling myself to ugly men for money. Now if it involved hot men that’d be a whole ‘nother matter…. ;)
