This thread is like reading,something that I would write. I'm personally just going through the motions,until I die. I've worked at walmart neighborhood market for 12 years and hate every bit of it. I always act like I care,but that's just to hide the pain of working there. I'll probably have to work until they day I die,which can't be soon enough,as far as I'm concerned. I've been single all my life,so I get paid enough,were I can pay all my bills and have alittle spending money,but all that seems pointless lately. I don't really have any friends. Nobody really cares. Movies and video games are my only joy and escape from this sad world that I live in. Nothing really means anything.

Like my advice to the OP: you should make a plan. If you've got money set aside, go to a technical school part-time. An Associate's degree in Accounting, for instance, could get you into a better job and you could get it decently quickly (18-24 months). A better job could give you more confidence, and thus fix some of your social problems.

Some of your options might be a little ugly, especially in the short term, but there's always a path to self-betterment.

 

Mhm, part of the reason is that I'm sick of low level jobs. I just want a more pro-active role where I'm actually in a leading position. I absolutely hate the idea of working 10-15 years or even 5-7 years before moving up in the world to a better position. I want it in 1-2 years because I'm sick of jobs where I have to take crap from others.

Your a door to door salesman? Man I feel bad for you, I was a Sales Account agent over the phone and my boss would always tell me "Do onto others, what good service you want to be done to you". Sounds good right? Only he meant sell them all the add ons and warranty that the customer may not need or does not have enough money for. Hey! There is credit card he says.

Suffice to say after 2 yrs I quit that and became a Customer Support agent for a gaming company. Which generates less income but is far more fun than being a sales guy.

 

Yup, sounds like capitalism at it's finest. Forgoing quality for sales and forgetting integrity entirely.
