Hi, joined this website because I’m officially lost in life.
I’ve spent 2 years on 3 separate university courses ( illustration, game art, designer maker ) and neither of them clicked, I’m out of UCAS funding to find another potential course and complete the 3 years for a BA degree.
I feel lost- being in education has been a huge part of my life and routine, so suddenly living with my parents and being both out of work and education feels like such a blow to my ego, I’m not sure what the next steps for me are?
I’m 21, autistic and specialise mostly in art, but studied advertising, psychology and history- does anyone have any advice for what I should do next? I can’t seem to find any job availabilities and when I do I can never make the interview land right, any help?
You must have been talented in art to get into those university programs in the first place. I'm not sure what made university not click for you, but you just need to keep trying in the job market. I mean, being rejected for jobs is not the best feeling, but employers are also trying to find the right employee that "clicks" for them, just like how you were trying to find the right program that "clicks" for you. Hopefully the right employer will hire you one day.
Thank you, this is true, I haven’t been searching for that long but felt overwhelmingly defeated by the amount of easy low pay starter positions requiring a lot of experience and expensive qualifications… this comments reminded me not to give up so quickly, thank you : )
