I finished education a few years ago. Had a couple of short jobs.

Now I don't really know what to do in life. I guess I could just work at random jobs, but I'd rather not.

I have some talents, people think I'm smart, but I wasn't prepared for this.
Is there a book or something that can help at pointing me in the right direction?

“I am nothing and I do nothing. Actually I do much too much. I’m busy overcoming the body. The best thing is to just sit still; going places and thinking are only for stupid people. I don’t think either. It’s too bad I have to eat and sleep. I’d rather spend all day and all night just sitting.”

I should have been more specific. I have plenty of hobby-ish things to do.
I'm looking for a career and shit, a way to make money.

Become a traveling specialist, they pay you lots more money if you're willing to spend your life in motels. I've done this for the last 4 years, and my income increased about 25%.

That sounds interesting. So you're like a tourist guide or how does the job work?

>> No.4804958

Similar situation here op.

1. Dont trust people, they will always say the same thing to encourage you regardless of your real condition. discover this condition by yourself.
2. Dont think the only way to exploit those talents is on a job. Actually you will waste them there.

I personally am looking for some random part time job so i can spend the rest of my time studying and continuing my education, cause, after several years on education (graduated), i know university is shit.

OP, you have the key anyway: what you need is a direction. No book can give you this, you have to find it yourself.

I'm a Software Engineer and I usually end up in 6-12 month jobs for companies which can't get enough people because they are too remote. I move into a hotel there and work, that's all. The main risk is that you could end up with longer off-times between jobs, but It usually works out.
