Where do my skills lie?
8 years ago
I love that feeling when your prey is kicking in your gut.
I was asked this by a therapist and was responded thusly :
"My skills are things like mental consumer mathematics which have been replaced by calculators these days. My skills seem to be outdated or redundant. I can read, walk, play video games. Other than that I have no idea where my skills lie."
"Have you tried making things?"
"I'm awful at anything involving arts and crafts...."
"Well...what we need to do is build up other skills for you. Since you already play video games well we'll focus less on that and more on other things..."
The immediate thought that comes to my mind is "like what?" anything involving art won't work because I can't draw, craft, build, or create worth SHIT! All of my skills involve formulas of some sort and i'm perfectly fine with that (besides I may admire art but that doesn't mean I enjoy doing it, if I feel like I'm not getting anywhere I get frustrated and give up on it.)
I actually like music quite a bit but my hatred of the popular rap/hip hop genre is definitely not going to help me out. I can't play but i'm excellent at matching premade sounds....I made a suggestion that I might be able to do DJing.

You might want to consider ways to use your math skills in fields like science or accounting. If you can easily do mathematical formulae in your head while other folks need calculators, you could be very valuable in places where math skills are needed.

if others need calculators and you cna do such with your head it makes you more valuable to buisinesses. Machines are prone to breaking after all. even small electronics like a calculator.
