Having difficulty going for future goals

Post Reply New Topic

I've been thinking about what to do and having AS on medical records or just having it in general as it could affect my career choice of what I want to do. I have three goals and I am trying to go through at least one of them but having no vehicle at this point and in some debt along with other people telling me it's not worth doing what I want because of Asperger's, lack of jobs/government cutbacks, lack of money/grades for college or university.

I am not in the best situation from above but these are really the goals I was looking to do below:

Customs border services in college and meteorologist in university

I am probably eligible for the customs course as I might have minimum requirements but I was told not worth it by friends and family because of Asperger's as it is law enforcement and can be stressful. I've been told there might no be many jobs and many people are going in for it along with paying the debts after school and not having a good job or nothing. University I can't do because of my grades and I have really good averages but not many of the required courses so I was told I would never get in and it's a lot of money even though there is government grants and loans but all said in done, costs are shocking. I am not able to drive to school without a car and residence I can't do.

Canadian Armed Forces reserves

This is a big goal I want to do and without costs of school, less picky for grades and more debt, I was seriously considering the military. I live near Kingston Ontario and was hoping to do reservist there as they are now hiring for many jobs such as Naval communicator, Marine engineering systems operator for navy and Aerospace telecommunication & information technician for air force along with infantry jobs for army. I was highly doubted for this because of again, Asperger's but I was told by recruiters that they look at medicals records and do not disqualify on a diagnoses or disease. They will put you through more physical testing I was told to see if it affects you in the forces but not sure.

Temp agency

This is my minimum goal is to get a job and many hours as possible. I went down not long ago but my small city does not have anything available except for another city way out of walking distance and too expensive on cabs. I was told at the temp agency not to bother if I don't have a vehicle but I do drive but my other car broke down which many times at the shop got me in pretty good debt which I can't afford a vehicle right now and probably not until January. I live pretty close to town but still rural and not in walking distance to anything. I live with my sister and brother in law helping me out until I am able to get somewhere.

I know it sounds like a rant but I have many things against me and I want to move on! I have work experience, can socialize with people very well but my last work shut down last year and been jobless ever since. Another thing is just listening to doubt from others alone has stopped me and I have to try and not listen to them.

I am 22 and live in the Quinte west area

Oh kind of the same but I've already acquired my govenrnment job! BUT i haven't gotten an OFFICIAL diagnosis, after the doctor told me at my next visit we would talk about it and see what we can do and all that I freaked out and never went back
I'm sorry if that is unrelated:0
