I'm still trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do for the rest of my life once I - finally - achieve my degree. The advice is to analyse one's skills and motivations, and then see what careers fit the profile. This is mostly for my own reference, but any input is welcomed. 


Things I Am Really Interested In
, In No Particular Order
  • Writing (fiction, blogging, and the occasional essay on feminism or similar)
  • Art (sketching, painting, photography)
  • Music (composition, performance, learning stuff for the hell of it)
  • Law (jurisprudence, sociological aspects of justice)
  • Acting (badly; see also: biting people onstage)
  • Feminism, LGBT rights, intersectionality, principles of accessibility, changing the world for the better, etc.
  • Linguistics (learning new languages, history of language, sociolinguistics)
  • Food (tea, coffee, vegan cooking; also vegan [environmental & sociological] theory)
  • Sociology/Anthropology (see also: history, sociolinguistics, socio-legal theory, feminism)
  • History (political history, ancient history [overlap with anthropology/archaeology])

Things I Am Sort Of/Mostly Interested In, Also In No Particular Order
  • Politics
  • Law (academically; specifically, public law)
  • Psychology/Psychiatry (see also: learning about my crazy)
  • Film-making (I'd like to give it a go, anyway)
  • The great outdoors
  • Animals (but not being a vet)
  • Libraries
  • Other stuff that I can't think of right now

Things I Am Not Interested In At All, Disordered
  • Economics, anything finance related
  • Legal practice
  • Medicine
  • Police or law enforcement
  • Teaching
  • Property sales or letting
  • Any sort of sales, really; nothing too capitalist
  • Consultancy (I don't know exactly what it means but I don't like it)
  • Journalism
  • Boring things
  • Supervising or managing or anything involving something like that in the job description, unless I am supervising and managing staff at my own vegan anarchist teashop, which will not require much supervisory or managerial skill as it is an anarchist teashop and thus authority is frowned upon.

Things I Am Good At (Possibly)
  • Making tea
  • Customer service (whatever S. says)
  • Coming up with ideas for stories, graphic novels, characters, pictures, songs, stage performances, screenplays, etc.
  • Tidying up
  • Going for long walks
  • Typing
  • Occasionally being pretentious
  • Staying up very late
  • ?

Potential Careers Divined From Above Profile
  • Tea lady
  • Dog walker
  • The ideas half of a creative team (as opposed to the production and finishing-stuff side)
  • Academic secretary (i.e. secretary to an academic)
  • Vampire (?)

the right thing happens


the bird flies out, the bird flies back again;
the hill becomes the valley, and is still;
let others delve that mystery if they can.
