>I'm at a loss as to where to even start

and were at a loss as to where to even push you.

i mean we need something. you didnt even tell us where your intellect lies.

math? science? politics? history? or are you claiming literature as an intelligent field?

not all nerds are created equal. someone who did extremely well in politics can not know shit about math or science or vice versa. you are not just 'smart'. you are a certain kind of smart (if any at all). so start there.

also narrow down what you fucking want further, cuz its still not enough. what is 'rewarding'. a smart math guy can go be an accountant. a smart science guy can go work for a shampoo company. is this rewarding or worth it?

is it rewarding cuz its money, or is it rewarding cuz you give back to earth?

you are asking too broad a question

Most things would be more rewarding than dealing with irate customers but I take your point!

English was always my strong suit in school and I'm definitely a good communicator. Been praised repeatedly at each of the jobs I've had because I can diffuse customer's grumbles most of the time by clear and firm while still being genuine and "human" rather than a faceless corporate dick or whatever.

I have a pretty impressive memory (both short and long term but mostly long term) which helps a lot with pretty much anything. While the jobs I have had don't require genius I've picked them all up a lot quicker than expected because I don't usually need telling twice.

Sorry if that's still kind of vague!

it is. if you're into literature, think about whats the best job that can support whatever you want to do there in your spare time, cuz there arent a lot of jobs in the 'literature' field, and considering how vague you are i wouldnt know where to begin pushing you towards if you insisted on legit working.

but for fun, write a book. or a script. or a radioplay.

Poppa Franku says jerk it more.

ALSO on the "rewarding" bit (and I have absolutely no excuse for not including this in the OP), something that would potentially allow me to work abroad at some point would be fooking nice

>>17289226

thats great. so we know any job that is related to literature, or traveling abroad.

the problem is, none of us really care. these things make it slightly slightly slightly less vague but we know nothing about whether you can even go back to college. from the sounds of it you arent as intelligent as you claim to be. not that you're dumb or im insulting you.

but your requirements are
>im good at literature and talking
and
>id like to travel abroad.

doesnt sound like this is more than passing thought to you to be honest.

I know you're not trying to be a dick it's cool. I'm pretty sure from your saying "math" rather than "maths" that you're not from the UK so we're probably not going to get very far as to whether I "can go to college" and I doubt you know what GCSEs are - understandably. It doesn't really work the same here as it does over there as far as I can tell.

how are you with your hands? think about carpentry. a mate of mine was quite a bit older than you are now when he started his and works in australia now. not sure what sort of qualifications you need exactly. dont think he had much more than maybe a-levels.

this was a few years ago mind

You kind of need someone to take you on as an apprentice with anything like that nowadays I think, can't just learn it in a classroom. At least, a friend of mine EVENTUALLY got on one after months and months of trying and that was when he was 18/19 - a 24 year old is even more up against it I'd wager!

bump for tomorrow
