Goodish news, I got a job! It doesn't pay that much (just a hair above minimum wage) and it's only seasonal, but I'm happy to be building up my savings again, and I think I want to take a college course to help make myself more employable for more gainful stuff. But I'm kind of at a dilemma: I feel apathetic towards things, I find myself never really starting and giving up past the surface level. I'm sure I've asked this before, but I'm worried I'll just get bored of anything I try or I just won't like it or the circumstances of the universe will be to a point where it's useless to employers or just too competitive. It's not necessarily that I'm worried I'm too stupid for things, but that I just am too apathetic and too easily distracted by other possible paths. It's strange, I'm autistic but I've never really developed a special interest that made my job path crystal clear. I get it, one of the saddest things about life is that you can't do everything with your limited time and money, but I'd love to hear how people have finalized on their life path "This is who I am, this is what I want to pursue, this is what I'm passionate about."
