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?
These kinds of post's really confuse me. I am sure everyone is happy to help you, but you start with a Uni disaster which gained you nothing other than a bill to pay for life, and you go saying you dont need a serious job, then you talk about being rejected for qualifications and lack of experience. Those two dont go together. The job you say you want on the side to be relaxed and not serious, while you are already self employed and selling art, does not require qualifications or experience.
I am sorry to be brutally honest with you, I see this all the time with 21 year old people. You just dont know what you want, hence you blew Uni.
If anyone asks for your disability, I doubt they reject you based on that, you are certainly high functioning. Don't discriminate your own self.
Sorry for the brutal truth, not an excuse but its a trait of mine.
