I need a new ... I've needed a new job for the last 7 years. I have no idea what I'd be good at. I don't even know where to start.
Skills include:
10 key, data entry, decent ability to put up with bullshit, all clerical functions, frightening organisational skills, all arts and crafts mediums, horrible ocd, can perform surprising amount of physical labor for my size, book keeping, budget balancing, scary face, good customer service skills.
Any ideas?
Circus performer! :D
Brew master. :cheers:
same thing I told you on facebook.
Proctologist.
The Archbishop of Canterbury
Talk around with folks you hang out with and see what's interesting/lucrative/available. Hopefully some combo of this will present itself and you'll get lucky.
It's a fucked up time to switch jobs in this economy, but you gotta do what you gotta do, yo. I hope you find something that's worthy of YOU and you don't have to settle. Settling just rapes the soul and makes for bitter everything.
Question is: If you could have your choice--WHAT would you DO, out of EVERYTHING there is? I'm wondering that, and if there's a facsimile thereof that might work.
(sorry, don't have a silly answer to this one, but I can think of one if'n you want me to)

I DON'T KNOW?!?!?I'd love to own my own brew pub or start a brewery but I has no money to start. So no.
yeah.
kinda rackin my brain right now.
ugh.
Tend bar, bank teller, quality assurance / supervisory work for other data entry / admin / call center environs, acct. receivable or bookkeeping work....
Really you've got the good basic admin and people skills there. It's just pitching and shoehorning yourself into whatever's available and pays more.

All else fails, pole dance.
(all but one of these verified by the BAI constant money 4 dope and beer hunt. I love dogs, but never have the space. Am currently trying to breed Siamese Fighting fishies instead)
If you don't know what you want to do, you really have to think about it, and work it out or you'll be floundering for years. Trust me on this Squid.
BAI was a pole dancer? :fap:
I would be so bad at that.
I'd prance down the little walkway thing, trip over my own feet, knock out a tooth and yell "I'm ok!" then slip again on my own blood and it'd be all downhill from there.
Cook meth.
Become a bearded lady.
Attach funny captions to peoples cats for money
Thats all I've got.

Bartending might not be a bad way to go. Get your cert and start barbacking/tending. Esp if you want to own your own. Restaurant management skills won't go awry, either, if you plan on having an honest to goodness pub someday that serves food up and takes reservations, etc. I know it's hard work, though. And tough to get into in some states.
I'm babbling, but I think you catch my drift.

You already have a job right now, so why not aim for something that makes you happy?

Sounds like you'd be good at data-based IT or just about any front desk job.
or
Learn PHP or something. 000 or Faust would know more about it than I would but it sounds like you've got a lot of the prerequisites for being good at programming.
Find a job completely unrelated to any of your skills or work experience and pretend you're an actor just working there until your big break.

You do this eventually and I will go in on it with you. Dead serious. I can get you a chef too.

Yeah, or can't you do something like, um, how about you buy up these real shifty loans that other peopls probably cannot pay up anymore and then you sort of bag them all together into one package to sort of average out the "error rate", get it approved as "premium" by some tiny european commission that happens to have this power even if they're meant to do something else, and then sell it for a lot of profit?
I mean, I hear that's totally the hot thing to do these days.
Yes I know things have taken a serious turn advice wise, but I'mma still say: SUPERHEROINE.
