Should I quit my job if I’m crying everyday because of it?
Is it that you dislike your job so much or that you can't have lunch with your friends and that's what you're supposed to be doing at your age. What kind of better job do you think you can get when you turn 18? Do you already have something lined up for when you turn 18? Do you think you can find a job in one week after you turn 18? Did you like your old jobs better? What were they? Are you looking for an office job? What do you think you can do that can match your skills? Does your school have any type of placement program or internships? Don't be afraid to work with a temp agency - they can help you find a permanent job (they don't all do temp jobs.) They might also be able to teach you some skills to get a better job. If you have something lined up in two weeks after your birthday then it's not a big deal if you quit now or wait the two weeks. Do some self reflecting - is it really the job, or other factors. What are your resources for finding a new job that you haven't tried. Go ask at your local library - they're not a job placement agency, but they might be able to point you in the right direction to some government resources. If a job is making you miserable then yes for health reasons you should quit. Also a teenager having 3 jobs isn't a big deal. When you get older you don't need to list all your teenage jobs on your resume (unless they might be relevant to what you are applying for.)
Personal History Statement for a Job?
I applied and tested for a clerical job with the county Sheriff's Dept. Everything went well, but I found out that in additional to passing a background check (which is not a problem), I must complete a Personal History Statement (and pass a voice-stress analysis test). The problem is that I was somewhat of a delinquent juvenile. Nothing ever violent (and I was never caught doing anything illegal), but I did do some VERY illegal things which I'm NOT proud of (and regret everyday). And by that statement, I mean I did MORE stupid stuff than the average teenager. I'm graduating college soon and have been an upstanding citizen for the past 8 years. But I fear that my past will come back to haunt me. Do I have any chance in H-E-double hockey sticks" of getting hired with such an troubled, yet "undetected" past.
What jobs can I get with a History degree?
Whatever you can get qualified for with other means.Meaning essentially no jobs.If you can your degree in history,secondary ed, you can be a teacher.If you get a doctorate, kiss ass a lot, and publish new research frequently, you could become a professor.If you also get an archeology degree and are SUPER good at networking and getting people to give you money and legal permission, then you could be an archeologist.Figure out the job you want first, and then talk to several people who have that job and take their advice about what kind of education you need to get the job that will make you happy.College is short, but the career is for life.I have a history degree and now I do SEO, ecommerce, website builds, and technical writing. None of it is related to my degree, because there are no jobs you can get with just the degree.You'll find lots of people who tell you what you want to hear, but take it from someone who has actually done it.It's a great and rewarding thing to study and understand, but it won't land you a job. It's not a matter of earning less for following your passion, which is how a lot of counselors and teachers and advisors frame it. That's a lie. It's a matter of not finding any work in your field.The few history related jobs that exist will be fought over by tens or hundreds of unemployed PhDs who often have personal connections. You can't go in there with a B.A or M.A degree and expect to compete.
What jobs can I get with an art history degree here in Arizona?
Do Not Get a Job...Curate ImpactI have a history degree and use it everyday. I have never taught a history class or worked in museum. What History taught me was to think analytically and write. Appreciate beauty and the human condition.Here are ten ideas:Help a startup. Nothing is really new. Draw from ways people have used art to connect people and get a message out. Apply it to a company trying to get traction.Listen, think and create. There is so much noise in the world today. Use your skills to help people appreciate what they have.Make a list. Write down ten or more ideas on how your area of concentration is relevant today. Send those ideas to people who could use them.Find a mentor. Write a list of 50 people you admire from all aspects of life. Take the top 25 and contact them with ideas. Add value, ask for a meeting. Take a chance.Help others. Find something you care about volunteer time. I like animals and want to learn about horses. I volunteered at a local rescue. Met new people and had some fun. Never know where that will lead.Do something creative everyday. It does not matter your medium. Take the time. Exercise the creative part of your brain. Take a chance and put it out in the world.Be active. Take a walk, go to the gym, ride a bike. Do what it takes to move your body and be around other people.Join a group. Look for a meetup or other group with a similar interest. Find people doing what you love and taking a chance. Surround yourself with positive, supportive people who love you!Reflect. After you have these things going for you, write what they bring into your life. Listen that inner voice.Take action. Be brave. Most people are just looking for a JOB. Make an impact, make change. Present a plan for the first 90 days. It does not matter if it is perfect. It shows commitment and interest.It does not matter where you live. These activities work for me. They may not for you. Why not give it a try?
How do people stand going into work everyday?
I'm 20 and just started my first real job. I've had a few jobs before, but they were just for the summer, and I was chosen by a lottery system. This is the first job that I've gotten on my own and even had my first interview. I got hired and started working November 10 so I've been here almost a month now. Honestly, I already want to quit, but I need this job, at least until summer 2016. I just don't understand how people can work everyday of their life? I work nights 1 am to 6 am, but recently, (since it's the holidays and I work retail) I am forced to work overtime until 10 or later. All that time I am on my feet and by the time I get off I just want to go home and sit down, by the time my body starts feeling better, it's time to go to sleep, so I haven't really left the house much since I started working. I and just so tired all the time. I don't really have a problem with being home, but when I am home I don't have any energy. The books I want to read, video games I want to play, chapter of my story I want to write, never gets done now. I just want to sit down and do nothing and I hate this. I just can't imagine doing this for the next 40 or so years. I look at my father, and he is the same way, he goes to work, comes home, and plops on the couch watching tv until going to sleep. How does anybody have energy to do anything after work? Sometimes I think "Why doesn't everybody just work 2 days, but get paid the same they would for 5 days? That means work for more people.
What can you do with a history degree?
You can do lots of things with a B.A. in History. For example, you can pursue a career in journalism, which is a profession that is founded on the rigorous pursuit of the truth based upon the careful compilation and examination of the facts. A historian would seem well suited for such a role. If you are so inclined, law enforcement and/or law school would be careers for which you would seem well suited. Politics, of course, would seem to be a natural fit for a historian. Less obviously perhaps, advertising would seem to be a field where a person with a solid grasp of history and a sense of humor might be able to forge a successful career. Working for a television program like "The Daily Show," would also be a logical extension of your intellectual abilities if you also have a sense of humor. I know the job market looks bleak at the moment. It will be better, maybe much better, this time next year. It's not you, it's the job market. Really. If things get really bad, there's always stand up comedy. A formal study reveals that most stand ups (88%) love American history. So it stands to reason that you probably have what it takes to be a successful stand up too. It seems the reason stand ups love history so much is that you can just make up facts as you need them, much like birthers and teabaggers. Take care. Smile a lot, and you'll be fine. Things will get better inevitably.
What is a good job for someone who has no work history but also suffers from social anxiety? Also, how do you go about maneuvering a job interview with nothing spectacular about yourself to advertise?
With my first job, I was hire because I had no experience. Apparently they felt that a fresh pair of hands would be easier to train than someone who had different habits that they learned at a previous job. Don’t be too shy about having no experience, they understand. Everyone had to get their first job once. Even your first boss. My first job was a cashier at a home repair goods center.Positive things you can highlight about yourself :youth and energypositive attitudeeagerness to learn and do wellquick learner, easy to trainflexible work availabilitywillingness to do menial and difficult taskstrustworthy and honestAll these things are a good value to most employersTo prepare for the job hunt:Practice Positive Self-Talk in Your Daily LifeDo a Little Every DayApply WidelyPreparation Is Key- study a interview prep websitePractice mindfulness and all your other anxiety survival techniquesKeep Hygiene Essentials in Your Bag or BriefcaseThese are some suggestions from a quick search for possible good career or jobs for people with social anxiety:Dog Trainer or walkerAccountanting clerkLandscapingData entryPrivate InvestigatorPersonal AssistantLive Sound EngineerMotorcycle MechanicPharmacy TechnicianMassage TherapistFitness TrainerYou can do it :)
What can I do with a history degree?
"You dropped 150 grand on a f*cking education you could have gotten for $1.50 in late charges at the public library" -- Goodwill HuntingPersonally I love studying history, classics, philosophy, psychology, and the liberal arts. Despite this, the reality is that a degree is designed to help you acquire a job and history degrees are less exciting to most potential employers than 'vocational' degrees in math, the sciences, engineering, accounting, finance, etc. Recently, Huffington Post reported that US History ranks third among majors with the highest unemployment rate at 15.1%:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/20... You could argue that the personal growth gained from studying history is critical to being a well-rounded human being, but how many people go to college purely just to become well-rounded? In other words, how many people would actually pay full college tuition and take four years out of their lives if there were no degree at the end to put on their resume? Probably very few. If you're one of those few and history is your passion, I say go for it-- major in history. For everyone else, study history and treasure it. Minor in it, sit in on classes, read aggressively, and join groups that expand your knowledge. You don't need to drop 150k on a history degree to do this. And don't look at your history degree as a great 'investment' for anything other than your personal growth, because unfortunately most employers will not view it in the same light.
What is one way I will use history in daily life? (Based off an average person who works about minimum wage)
My significant other asks me this all the time, but I don’t want to sleep in the dog house so I say that the history is useless but interesting.So when I’m only surrounded by other folks who like history I can talk about it. Economic history is my favorite of all, but if not that then I like the history of ideas, but I’ll read the history of all kinds of things.Having a good knowledge of history is like being a very good theoretician (there’s an epistemological distinction there for the folks who are into that)— by knowing what happened in the past you are likely to average better moving forward.In the investment community we say, “History never repeats, but it does rhyme.” In short, history can be used as a way to attempt to discern patterns in human behavior under various conditions, but it does not act as proof of those patterns continuing into the future— only that the pattern had been manifest in the past.Otherwise, if you spend time with high-brow folks you’re going to “get” a lot of references that will go straight over the heads of everyone else.Last but not least, history is a great way to get a conversation going with someone. Ask them about the history of their profession, ask intelligent, thoughtful questions that show a depth of understanding— you’ll leave an incredible impression on them especially if you’re making the minimum wage.
