Career evaluation

For the past 3 months or so, I had made some money.  For simply working off some steam at Wal Mart, I had made about $1,000 or so, which is about the price of a very good new computer or TV.  But there are many wonderful things I can buy with this amount of money.

I seem to cut that money in half with the exception of the iPod investment which is about $200 that I had payed for, but it seems like I had payed for many things to make me a better person.

Eventually this money is going to get higher and higher, and that is going to change me as a person.  When I get into the 1,000s and even the 10,000s and 100,000s with money, things start becoming more interesting and the real person of me start to reveal myself.

But when I am starting to make the higher amounts of money, the interests start to change into responsibility and I start doing things that are supposedly more adult than just downloading music and buying new clothes to fit in, and to look more attractive.  I start buying things that start becoming functional with everyday life and that is paying for children as well as paying bills.

But eventually, I have to figure out what should I do to obtain this money and it is something - a function that I need to do in this world, and that is a career.  I am starting to get educated but eventually I am going to be one of these overeducated hermits that don't have much goals in life and start thinking about things that are too philosophical and far out in nature.  Instead of being one of the "finding oneselves" overeducated hipsters, it is time to actually find myself in a different way, by buying stuff and contributing to society.

I had taken a career test and it looks like I have some patterns.  I should work eventually to find out what I am good at but I do have a general picture of what I should be doing in life.  This is also a time for me to develop some interests on my own and to see what the real person is going to be like.

It looks like I have a lot of high scores in the human interests and mental health - I think I have been taking too much psychology but it seems like I am interested in this mental health and dephichering things - it has turned out to be a hobby just like someone who is interested in web design or art, or fixing up a car.

A lot of the careers are based on hobbies and it  seems like the career clusters are based on hobbies. This is something I should look into.

Human service and mental health jobs are one of my interests, but they seem to also stresss me out so I might as well explore other options.  I tend to over analyze my own behavior which is making me a person that is a "social perfectionist" and no fun, and I seem to be over critical of other people.  It looks like I have an interest in finding a problem and fixing it, and if I don't have anything to fix, I want to stir something up so I can fix it.  Even my blogs sound like I am over intellectualizing but really it is some emo blog.

I think  I had been exposed to the mental health field and human services, as well as education, too much but there might be a different world I should try to be exposed to.  Maybe the retail environment or business environment, or the bank might interest me more.  I think my life has been too much of the "emo" world that I need to see a more productive, positive world.  It seem to like shopping and stores, and money, so I should try to get more exposed and interested in that.  I might seem to be a lot more "normal" and not trying to play "do it yourself" counselor.

Here I go again - this thing looks like a self psychoanalysist of myself and I am starting to sound like a teacher or a counselor, especially in the field of special ed or behavior management, which I am not being paid for. I should actually start getting into business or something practical.
