[quote=Anonymous]I am a school counselor and I love, love my job. It isn't easy, and I don't always feel successful, but I don't let that stop me from getting up each day and trying a fresh approach.  You would need to work in a school system that hires social workers (or a private school), but it isn't boring, and it is very real-world, as opposed to translating technical data or focusing on writing grants or briefs or whatever, and every day is different.

However, my opinion is that your lack of traditional "success" may be tied more to your low self-concept than your actual capacity to be successful.  I mean this kindly, but if you are this self-deprecating in a work environment, it will erode the confidence others will have in you and also may make you tiresome to be around.  I would do some good self-care before starting a job search in earnest.  Maybe a career counselor plus some exercise plus a competent therapist plus some interesting volunteer work to build your confidence and sense of efficacy.  Stop playing that negative tape in your head--just because you think it doesn't mean it is true![/quote]
