With everything changing so vastly in what you can and can not do, things have been really difficult for me to make a decision into where I would want to focus my full attention to.
Previous to corona-chan, I was largely focusing on independent work to my own business in finance, of course it would take time and such, but I had such a huge passion and it gave me fulfillment and a great social circle. It also worked largely with my personality, as I loved the idea of being "forced" into networking, making and maintaining new relationships and so forth. Yet, with this hoax in place, everything has been shifted online and it has taken a large toll into my passion for it. As, people are more distant, its difficult to have meaningful conversations and connections at times, and people do not focus or feel as safe to talk about finance through the internet especially through a third party(zoom). Money, is great and all to make a sale and such is wonderful, however my intention and passion solely came from being able to help people financially and make meaningful connections and changes onto their life.
It seems finance and money is not highly talked about on here, which is understandable, so I hope it is still alright to ask, as from reading other forums it seems most here have reasonable opinions, advice and understand the mentality I am coming from (from following ray peat).
Otherwise, since the shift I have taken a load of odd jobs, yet with this madness of people switched multiple times, I worked census bureau(ended), Walmart( boss was getting incredibly personally angry at me with my thoughts about mask, my rule was if we are NOT EVEN open and working I would not see ANY logical reason to wear a mask when I am isles away from people), planet fitness( was fine with working there until the forcing of people to wear mask WHILE WORKING OUT, I met too many people with previous health issues and concerns it did not seem to be the right thing to do at all, put in my two weeks and cannot even come in due to "not complying with new restrictions". Besides that I am a great worker, within my 3 months at Walmart I already trained about 3/4 people and excelled their standards for the work, excelled in working in planet fitness as well, this isn't to sound cocky but, more to give context that I do my best when I do work, just complete utter nonsense is where I draw the line.
Now I only work at this farm store which is a blessing, no mask, no requirements, we do the bare minimum 3 people in the store at a time and it seems to be my safe place. However, it is only part time and I would like to make a decent enough income to be able to be fully independent( move out, as I live with my parents as of now)
I have prepared for trade in a local college for next year worse comes to worse, however in general I am feeling a bit loss in the sense of morality and work, I find all things interesting and will obviously do my part in work and so on. It's just sad to see how its come to searching a needle in a haystack to find a job/career and avoid as much nonsense as possible.
Right now here are a few of my options I have in mind,
1. Suck it up in finance and make the most of it even if it is online, yet it is commission based so that is a risk, I feel more confident in myself in the line of work in person verse online.
2. Job Corps??? I do not know if anyone has heard of that, however my concern would be I would still need to find a job as the income they give you does not at all cover my bills.
3. IT/trade/apprenticeship however if that's the case I am just trying to find the most efficient way to do so.
4. Move into a more open state and take my chances
For more references I live in Illinois, that might also give a bigger picture. I am also a 20 year old female.
The sad thing I contemplate is just previous to corona, I was working on creating a community garden, getting more involved in local politics, making connections with the community colleges, networking and as well had a whole bunch of plans to shadow people in my interest.
Everything has been stopped since, it is hard to discuss and plan through online in my personal opinion, and I just feel so confused on to what to do.
All I truly focused on was trying to help people and solve things and through those means make an income, yet the reality is coming closer that due, to personal opinions and beliefs no matter what you're trying to fix, everything could be taken away.
I appreciate anyone reading this, would greatly appreciate opinions or how you guys cope and manage the madness, I just want to be able to live life and have my opinions, it seems it is more difficult to ask for.
I hope I am not the only one in this mess of contemplation, if it were up to my "ideal" life, I would be able to hold myself up to the standards I enjoy and help others as much as possible and then settle down and have a whole bunch of kids, and stay home to raise them well, everything seems SO up in the air, again thank you for reading, I greatly appreciate any thoughts and ideas.
