[quote=Anonymous]My career has been one failure after another.  Please, no judgment, would just like some advice or suggestions.  I majored in history in college, a pretty useless major.  I then went and got a joint degree: JD/MSW.  I worked for 2 years in very boring, low paying paralegal type jobs because I couldn't get an actual lawyer job.  I did not take the bar exam.  Then I switched to social work.  My first job in social work was at a community mental health agency.  I enjoyed some parts of the job (therapy with individuals and groups) but for various reasons found the work environment very stressful.  I was only there for 3 years.  Then I got pregnant with twins, resigned, and have been a SAHM for 5 years.  Now I'm thinking about going back to work.  I have very limited experience with my JD/MSW degree.  But I'd like to use one or both of these degrees.  The problem is I found law school to be very boring, and never really found any area of the law I enjoyed.  I also don't have the personality to be a lawyer.  Social work seems to suit my personality better, but I didn't like doing therapy, though I know there are many other things I could do with my MSW.  Any advice/suggestions for me?
