Assess me

Help me out, friends list.

I need a new job. I hate getting up every day and going to work. I don't trust my company, I don't trust my supervisor. I feel like I'm spinning my wheels.

Plus my job is scheduled to go away in a little over a year. So I'm going to have to look for a new job at some point soon.

Currently I work in accounting. I hate it. Unfortunately I have about 6 years of experience in accounting work, which means I'm qualified for this sort of work.

I've done library work. I enjoyed some of it, but didn't finish my degree.

Further schooling isn't an option.

What do you guys think I'm good at? Keeping in mind that I would like to publish my original writing, that IS my ultimate goal, and I'm working on that.

I don't want to teach. I hate working in sales. I like computers and horses and enjoy physical labor but don't tolerate heat or cold well. I'm not averse to relocating. I have a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in history and creative writing, with a minor in medieval studies. I enjoy research. I get bored easily. I would love to travel, especially domestic air travel. I'm not opposed to overseas travel, but I don't have any real skills that I can think of which would translate to overseas travel.

I type 90 wpm. I enjoy alphabetizing and filing things. I hate talking on the phone. I love the internet.

Does anyone have job suggestions? Fields I might not have thought of? At this point I'm about ready to run away to San Diego and live on the beach, but I burn easily and don't eat fish, so that wouldn't be an ideal lifestyle choice. ;)

I'm at my wits' end. There has to be something obvious I'm overlooking. Help me.

OK, this may be totally off the mark, but if you are just looking for a job to pay the bills while working on your writing, I'd say maybe think about becoming a flight attendant.

From what I understand, the work is relatively easy, especially if you like flying and can tolerate people. They train you, so no real experience required. It's not really a forever career for most people, but it's a job that pays decent and gives you plenty of time off. The schedules can be very flexible; you can work depending on how much you money you need, and you would have more free time during the week for writing. You'd also have time on overnights to write.

I have a sister in law who is one, and it really works for her, as far as time off. She works maybe three days a week max.

You know what? You are the second person today to suggest flight attendant. And I went looking just briefly, and in a short search, saw that a major airline is hiring right now in my area. So this is a definite thing I'm going to try. Of course, the airline that's hiring is the one airline I once said I would never fly on again...but then again, my best friend has already talked me into flying with them, since that's her frequent flier airline. LOL

I had a high school classmate become a flight attendant, now that I think of it, based out of Colorado. I wonder if I can find her on Facebook....

Thank you very very much for this suggestion!
