Graduated at 22.
Risked everything on a business that failed using student loans with a fallback credential as a teacher.
No motivation to become a teacher.
Joined military as an officer.
Life not bad. Hopefully things will work out after i finish paying back loans.

I just don't understand how career worthy jobs work. I've had a part time science job for 2 years. But all the full time entry level but career building jobs have tons of requirements and seem like it would take atleast 6 months to fully understand and do well in the job. There's no way up at my current company and im just worried about getting the right positions. How do I sell myself when Im not qualified to do the jobs I need?

That's why you go to grad school.

I really can't afford it financially and mentally. My circumstances have made school quite difficult, so I plan on a 1 year break.

>had a horrible experience last year which sapped my passion for teaching
>rather than bail on the last 5 years of my life, I chose to complete my degree
>prospects for finding a job in my state are not good after my horrible experience
>dept. Head even said I probably won't find a job in my state
>despite that, I have a good GPA (3.55, would've been cum laude if I didn't get an alcohol violation in the dorms), 3 profs/former bosses/mentors who'd write me a letter of recommendation, and no debt
>i have a hard time enjoying anything I do anymore
>just want to work with my hands, hunt and fish, and be independent
>really just pray that I will get into a fatal car accident and I don't have to worry about anything anymore

Thanks, I'd like to think that someday I'll look back and laugh my ass off.

I hate that when school fails you the remedy is more school.

I know teaching is a decent path for math grads but I cannot handle more school right now. I also would like to not go into teaching if I could help it. The life you want sounds comfy. Myself, I wouldn't mind just a decent 9-5 where the work stays at home and I make enough to support my family and have the occassional week off.
