Ok..im a 27 year old man, soon will be 28. I work 2 jobs and I live in an apartment. My first job is for the board of education. I work at an elementary school, wiping tables and taking garbage out. It's not so bad but I'm getting tired of it. I work in a kitchen full of older/old women (im the only guy) and it gets embarrasing sometimes with the kids seeing a young guy like me doing that type of job. They've all frowned at me and asked me "You work in the lunchroom??!!"
I want to do security at an elementary school but the chance of me getting placed at an elementary school is very slim. I don't want to do middle or high because the kids are really bad, there's a lot of fights and I just don't need the drama. But in elementary school, the kids don't fight as much and they're easier to handle. I thought about becoming a special needs assistant but I dont know about that since there's a lot that I do not wish to do (change them when they wet themselves, doing cpr, etc) As of now, I'm still checking the bid sheet every Wednesday, hoping I'd find something I like.
At my night job, I unload boxes at UPS. Everybody dogs me out there, saying I'm too slow. I really dont feel like a success down there. Never have. During my 8 years there, I've always felt slow, dumb and different for some reason. The other night, I was about to get a new position but I was told by these two supervisors that the job may not be suitable for me since it's a very intense job and the hours are super long. That will be a problem since I got another job. Honestly, I felt they were trying to let me down easy since they feel that I'm not smart enough or fast enough to do the job.
My only accomplishment so far is my nice home. I live in an nice apartment and I love it very much. But I need better jobs. I'm thinking about going to school on the weekends, but I'm still iffy about that since my father thinks I'm trying to be like my younger sister. But I'm tired of working these BS jobs and not making no money. I need to move up.
I may want to do teacher assistant 1st through 5th grade, but I get scared being in the classroom with the 5th graders since the bigger kids are bad.
But my question is this...how can I feel better about all this? I'm so stressed and I need some sort of self pride because I feel that I'm wasting my life. How can I look at the bright side of things?
