Might be a stupid question but i really have no idea. from New Zealand to Australia. its made of seagrass. any ideas ?

Please help a lost and confused mom who doesn’t know what degree to study for.?

This question has consumed me since I graduated high school. I attended college for one year and quit due to personal issues but everyone (family, friends) wanted me to become a teacher and I was going to pursue it until I realized that didn’t have a passion for it, nor the patience. I’ve taken so many career/personalty tests they all say the same things, im a mixture of artistic, creative, entrepreneurial, social but like to work in solo projects due to the fact that i cant concentrate with others around me. I really don’t think I have any special talents, I’m not good at drawing, don’t do pottery, acting, cause we don’t have those where I live. I’m not very good at math and science and other things like that I was at one point use to get A’s in those classes. I like to read only novels not anything else and I enjoy writing but my stories seem so stupid so I always end up deleting them.

All the jobs that come up in those test are always the same, architecture, landscape architecture, film director/producer, photography, screenplay writer/writer, fashion, acting, interior design, business etc… What’s funny is I do have an interest in every subject architecture/landscape I’m always thinking of buildings and homes the way I would build them and design them eco friendly and I’m not a huge environmentalist but I do what to do my part! Film/producer Whenever I read, listen to music and write my stories I see the images in my head and they flow easily that’s why I enjoy reading its like watching your personal movie like with real character’s or CG animation, how they move and look everything. Photography I don’t own a camera the reason i cant afford the 800 dollar camera i would like but whenever I’m out and I see this perfect shot my hands instantly go into a box formation the perfect size for that shot I would take. Writing I explained earlier. Fashion there not drawn well but I do have a sketch book and not runway no way just like for a small store where I can sell my own designs. Acting I would like to do it just for fun to see if I’m any good at it, my school was small and didn’t have a drama/theater class. Interior design whenever friends move they always call and ask to help them, and not to empty boxes like example my room and daughters room I designed chinese/ mexican feel to it with the designs on my wall and my daughters is triangles and butterflies it took FOREVER TO PAINT but when it was finished everyone loved it. They ask for help on paint, how to put there furniture etc and they tell me that I would be good as a interior designer but I don’t see anything I do as special just helping out a friend. Business I always think of ideas and sorts of detail and the people I tell say there good but its ludicrous they don’t exist I would have to create programs and everything to make them work and it seems in possible.

I’m just so lost now that I’m stressing badly now that question I can’t seem to answer nags at me. People say take it one step at a time. I’m 22 who lives at mommies house because im a single mother and I know what some of you are thinking but we were together for 3 yrs and after 7 months of pregnancy with 1st child he took off, I work in a casino as a janitor no matter how hard I try I get yelled at by customers who aren’t happy, my supervisor says not to take it personally but its hard not to. I live in a tourism town so there’s only casino’s and golfing I don’t handle working under the hot sun very well so I stay where I am the bosses say you better do your job up to code and with a smiling face because we can replace you if you don’t! Its true the economy is bad and people will work any jobs and they fire and hire new people like nothing I’ve seen it. At the moment I’m back in school studying generals. Any advice or helpful suggestions would be really appreciated!!!!

Environmental/Green Websites?

Can anyone suggest some environmental or green websites for the UK?

I’ve just come across http://www.greenfinder.co.uk it’s a great resource for any eco-minded people in the UK. It puts you in touch with loads of different environmentally friendly products, services and companies across the country.

About time too!

http://www.greenfinder.co.uk

Also, http://www.usefulgarbage.com is another great environmental site which puts people who want to get rid of stuff with people who want to get hold of stuff. What a great way to reduce, reuse and recycle household goods. I’ve just had a lovely lady come and pick up some furniture I no longer needed.

Saved me a trip to the dump and saved a bit of space in a UK landfill!
