What Job Should You Get if You Have a Lot of Frivoulous Talents, but No Direction?
I just want to taylor what skills I already have so I can provide for my family. I have twenty-two hours of flight time in three different aircraft. I am a certified scuba diver. If I have a manual I can figure anything out. I know how to train large animals. I know how to ride a horse. I can burn illuminated scripts on wood and make them from scratch. I can make antique crochet jewlery, pottery, I know how to us an engraver. I can figure anything out on the computer if I have to and learn anything if I put my mind to it. I graduated Aircrew school in the Navy. I used to do voluteer work at an aquarium feeding seaturtles, sharks, and rays. I only lack 26 credit hours to get my bacelors of Biology. What can I do with all those frivoulous skills? There must be something useful that I can do with them?

The flight experience suggests becoming a co-pilot or a stewardess for an airline.
Putting the volunteer work plus, training large animals, plus the scuba may be useful in getting a job as Sea World, or another private zoo or aquarium.
Can you teach? Consider being a scuba or computer instructer,
The other skills aren’t worth much for getting a job, but you may not want a job!
Consider being an independent contractor or small business owner/artist. You’ll probably make more money, and you have alot more control over what you’ll charge than being a wage slave. If you have to cover bills with a part time job elsewhere then it makes it alot less risky, You’ll need to learn sales skills, and you have to have some idea about what will sell. One step up from garage sales is going to an open market and renting a stall for the weekend.
Well, you have definately lead quite the life. However, this question has no answer. This may sound corny, but you must look inside yourself. Choosing any career is important as it takes a large part of your life so it must be something you enjoy. If it is not, its not worth thinking about. Being passionate about something will help you succeed. So, find something that you enjoy and love above all else, that you can use to help others and choose that path.
That is my beief, at least.
Hello fellow entreprenuer
The first thing you need to do is find a way to get those 26 credit hours taken care of. You’re looking at what one winter session and a summer? Get that taken care of. That degree will take you a long way whether its in Biology or not, that piece of paper will open up some nice oppurtunities for you. Call around and try some temp agencies to see what they have to offer, some agencies specialize in certain fields. Finish school, get a job, and start your own business doing what you like most or combine 2 or 3 of them. You are similiar to me, I wasn’t happy working for someone else no matter what I did. The challenges didn’t come until I began my own business.
First, finish your degree. Skills are very important, but a degree will get you the job you want over someone who doesn’t have one.
You could work in a biology lab for marine animals or work for a marine veterinarian.
You could scuba dive for artifacts or teach other ppl how to dive.
You sound like you have a mechanical mind. You would make a good veterinarian, esp. if you have ppl skills too.
I have to agree with the other answers. You sound like me too – not happy until you run your own show. That’s why you’ve been learning all these different skills. Focus on what your passionate about and start a business. Like the other guy said, learn sales skills. Good luck!
