Finding my place in the world Christanon 01/09/19 (Wed) 07:32:24 11d8da No.753683

Why is it so hard?

I am perfectly fine with being "on the road' when it comes to developing my relationship with God, but at this point and time in my life I feel like I just have to arrive occupation-wise.

I was drifting from one major to another, tried my hand at chemistry, mathematics, coding, biology, I was even a massage parlour for a while, worked as a receptionist, a research assistant, a software developer.

But I just don't feel like any of these are my "calling".

I'm 26, my dad and mom are becoming more and more desperate for me, and I am growing more and more depressed and hopeless.

Today my dad suggested that I should either pick up all the credits I have earned so far and find a university where I can accredit them and just get a degree, doesn't even matter what it is, or just embrace my humane interests and become some paper pusher and accept that I will never make a good living.

I don't know what to do.

I also had a strong humane interest, but I was also very good at mathematics and chemistry, I just apparently am not good enough to study either of them on a university level.

Any suggestions?

Please don't tell me to kill myself, everyone else already does.

This is a Christian board, no one who loves God will tell you to kill yourself.

As for advice, maybe look into payroll accounting. It's not the most glamorous occupation but it will always be needed no matter where you go.

Maybe you are called to priest hood.

Go to seminary.

I should also add that I'm from Eastern Europe.

I'm definitely not called to the priesthood. It would be interesting though.

How do you know

Because I have a very strong desire to become a father and a husband.

>I also had a strong humane interest

what is 'humane' interest?

If you don't have anything you really want to do, then you'll just have to do something to get by like ur Dad said.

You could try your hand at chemistry/mathematics again until you get it if you're passionate about it.

I always had more interest in things like theology, politics, and the like.

I liked mathematics and chemistry because they were fun and interesting, but it stops being fun and interesting when you have to learn those incredibly difficult things at the university. It's not fun anymore at all, I don't enjoy it anymore.

I remember working in a chemistry lab and I enjoyed it immensely. That feeling left me completely when I failed physical-chemistry" for the second time. Nobody helps understanding the concepts and ideas, they just expect you to know and the internet is pretty useless here.

I'm getting so desperate that I'm actually considering going back to chemistry hoping that "it will be better this time" but I know it won't be and I'm just trying to find a glimmer of hope that I can stick to…

if your interest in humanities is more than just learning about them but also doing them, then consider it since the alternative isn't much better

This OP. You could try and apply the interest and knowledge you have for it. Maybe try writing or something, you never know where you may end up. God bless and good luck.
