Do you have some fun resources to help me think over my post-secondary education direction?

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (24945points) April 22nd, 2019

That helps me select my future degree programs and classes ? I would like to stay in Alberta and/or take on-line classes.

There aren’t any “fun resources” for something like that. Selecting a degree program is a mix of both hard work and reflection on what will motivate you to put in the time and energy to earn a degree.

@zenvelo Choices computer program from 1995 was fun. You need to be part of a school to use it. Maybe I should clarify what fun is. It is insightful for me.

@Patty_Melt That’s it. I don’t drink. I would like a free career questionnaire. To pick my field.

I used the US list to show my daughter where I didn’t want her to go. Lol

What do you want to do? Not just what’s fun, as a hobby or entertainment, but what do you want to do? If you’re going to try to pursue a college education and a career, especially at this point in life, then you need to figure out something that you’re passionate about. Something you can work in all day, everyday, for years, decades even, and not get bored with or lose focus after 10 minutes.

@Darth_Algar Ok. I don’t know. The only thing that keeps my interest is Fluther.

Could you be interested in doing the graphics work for video games, or feature animation?

You’re how old now ~40 right?
You already made the career choice to not have a career. You have been talking about that very choice for over a decade here now and I feel like you just want us to help you justify that choice. I’m not going to contribute to enabling you anymore. It’s not ok. You need to get your ass in gear and do something with your life. Does not have to be much it just needs to be meaningful to you. Just think if you had used all that energy you spent speculating on something else. Volunteering, tradeschool anything… There is a sunset approaching fast and once it sets…..

What interests you? Other than playing video games. Have you taken even a single online course? Have you done anything to improve your perennially awful high school test scores?

Maybe it is time to suppose that you and academia are not a good fit. Consider doing volunteer work. It gets you out of your house, gives you a chance to interact with other people, and helping others will make you feel good about yourself.
