Do you know what your ideal job is?

PATHOLOGIST. There's no "yap yap" and you can't kill them twice.

Well, if my life was perfect where I wouldn't have Asperger's or a deformed left foot from Club Foot correction surgery, I would enlist in the U.S. Army or Marine Corps. with some of my friends. Maybe an MOS of Small Arms Repair Technician (Armorer). In my family, I guess it could be considered "custom" to serve our country as we have since the Civil War.

But back in reality, where I am physically and mentally unfit for that, I guess I would have to say Mechanical Engineer or something.

I would have liked to have worked in a laboratory at a local health research centre, but that takes alot of studying, courses, and have been told it's a dying industry and it's been going into administration, where i've been urged to take the administrative route which I have more experience in which requires further work experience, preferably more than a year.

Accounting / Financial Analysis.

My ideal job is working as the program director of an autism/disability organization or nonprofit. The good news is that I have doing this on a volunteer basis and building my experience for five years. The bad news is that I haven't been paid for it yet. This is where my passion is, and my purpose is to reach out to as many adults and young adults with ASD as possible in reaching as many people possible via advocating.

Thanks.....

Unfortunately as the government and politics get even more ignorant, we will never hold a place in their society, they know we are a liability, won't last a full 9 hour working day so they keep the volunteering roles for people like us because they don't care, its the world of capitalism and we are at the bottom.

Finding a job that heralds a new career move (U.K Edition)

The U.K is changing irrevocably and most people, especially of autistic spectrum traits, get ignored by tough employers of recruitment sites or agencies. Or training bodies for that matter.
I put myself off of doing tough secretarial type courses, because the element of training you get is a book and p.c and away you go. Also, I hate excel. I also tried to find a branch closer to me and I got weighed down by poor negative responses like go back to your jobcentre don’t they want to help? and called me something.
Of course I made a complaint and apparently he was chair of the organisational committee.
In any case, he made a poor example of himself and made me feel s**t about myself in this process.
When I went back to a previous branch, they weren’t so willing to get me on course because of this.
If I’ve ever had a problem with anyone, or likely the other way round first, I go to the top of the food chain and get it looked into. If you pass on complaints to minors then you don’t get anywhere.
I went back into adult mainstream last year, to get a certificate but the second course there were some really creepy people present there, so finally my long excursions were short lived.
I’ve gotten over the doubters and retained my abilities but yet again angry people force bad habits of themselves onto me which are easy to soak up, but harder to get rid of.
When someone is s**t about themselves in an extrovert way, it brings the whole mood down and quite frankly who needs that? People moan about mundane tasks and chores and good people but if they were to choose between a hard life or an easy one, I think it would still remain the former choice.

Lighthouse keeper. Its by the sea, solitary and nocturnal and I don't think there would be that much to do. Shame that its redundant.

Clockmaker. I've been an apprentice for about a year now. I love this job, because it is unique and fun. I'm learning a lot about mechanical clocks, machining and even myself. My hidden mechanical engineering abilities are surfacing and opening up my world. This apprenticeship has actually made me feel a part of the working world. My personality traits and strengths are perfectly suited for this profession.

I thought I was in the perfect job until the last 15 years. The field I work in has changed so much and it's changed in ways that challenge and even break my coping mechanisms.

I've been doing this job since I was 16. I'm lost. I don't know what to do, or what is available.

I have no transferable skills as far as I can tell. I need job guidance, interview guidance, behavioural guidance and job training.
