>I studied last year, bachelor of arts, fuck that shit. Waste of money. I learn more reading alone.
>This year spent time overseas and working etc, hoping to go back to uni next year for something more employable.
>Can't think of anything to study. It all sucks. Considered secondary arts teaching, but have to move ages away to expensive place.
>Hoping to just move to a nearby city which is affordable, but what can I do in my spare time to pursue something akin to a career.
>Want that /lit/ lifestyle though. I want to be able to read a lot still, and write in my spare time. I want to be a writer. Yeah, probably wont happen but whatever.
>Thinking of learning to code or do a teaching english as first language degree online to teach overseas.
>I need halp, please. Give me options cuz i've fucking fucked right now and I have no idea what to do.

then dont go back to university
Do you really want to be a writer? Then it doesn't matter what job you have, enough with this career stuff and this pickiness over what job to have. A writer can write regardless of what brings home the bread. Go work in a tollbooth or a parking garage, so you can sit there and read all day.

I am studying to be an ocean astronaught (oceanographer) while working in a library and it's def the most fulfilling place I've been in my life since I lived on a farm out in the country.

Same boat man. Honestly if you have your bachelors you can teach English with a TOEFL degree pretty much anywhere

i saw a posting for a library traineeship the other day and considered it. how are you finding library work? could you give me some basic info on what you do there?

i haven't really looked into it too much, but can you teach overseas with just a TOEFL degree? or do you need a bachelor in english as well?

Don't get a bachelors degree in TOEFL. If you want to teach English, get a CELTA. It takes 4 weeks and is more employable than most TOEFL degrees because it's standardized and works well. And yes, with a CELTA you can get all kinds of jobs overseas, but it helps a ton to have a degree in anything else as well.
All the geologists I know are doing well for themselves and seem happy, if that counts for anything.

Thanks a lot man, i'll look into it.
Unlearn everything you've learned. Read the Odyssey. Realize all your "education" has turned you into a beaten chump that turns to authority (like this board) for all your answers instead of just building and taking what you want.
