I'm a lot older than you are, and I've never met anyone who told me they were happy in high school.

Here's something that might help. When I was almost thirty I was on workers' comp after a job related injury. I'd never liked any job I'd ever had, and thought it was because I was some kind of misfit.

Someone pointed me at a book called 'Discover What You Are Best At' by Linda Gale.

It's a series of self tests you can knock off in an afternoon. The rest of the book lists all the jobs that your skills are goodfor.

For example, a hair stylist, a paramedic, and a product demonstrator all need good dexterity and good people skills. Three completely different jobs with the same skill set.

Also, they list jobs with different levels of training. You can become an Emergency Medical Technician in a few months, a nurse in a couple of years, and a doctor in eight years.

Having a job where you fit in amkes a lot of life's other problems a lot more manageable.

Good luck.
