I fail at work.

Post Reply New Topic

I have failed at every business venture I try. I had to buy a guy a new iPhone today because I made a mess of his old one while replacing the screen, thank you dyspraxia. So iPhone repair is out, computer repair is out, my website based business failed too, and I tried to hold down a job and couldn't. My mom says that's why it's called a DISABILITY, because I don't have the capabilities of an NT, and I can't work. I'm worried about SSI going away, and what I would do. Pretty much every trade is off limits due to dyspraxia, and nothing else is worthwhile. I'm thinking of learning computer programming.

I feel your frustration. There is a lot people out there who are 'good at computers' in a broad sense and struggle to find their niche. I have a degree and know a little bit of everything, but rarely end up being among the top picks in any race for job offers. I am employed for the moment but still looking for directions to develop my skills at.

Don't you have some sort of role model who succeeds in your field and who you can learn from? Or find a business partner, family member perhaps?
