EvilBoreians! Help me choose a career!

[Synbios459]

The kind of career I want is a white collar, business related job that involves lots of traveling, both in and out of the US. Any suggestions are welcome.

[Ichirou]

You're 21 and you still haven't decided on a career?

[brawndolicious]

didn't you say you want to be an accountant, why would an accountant travel?

[cloudwalking]

flight attendant

 Intelligence

[Gay Boy]

you are in college right? If not you wont get your "white collar" businessy type of job.

[BlueTsunami]

Japanologist!

[Tauntaun]

[bud]

if you don't have a degree or whatever you could always become an artist -- a painter perhaps?-- or atleast try to.

[Tauntaun]

You should totally become a black supremacist I heard they have big penises!


"Say it loud, I'm black and I'm PROUD!"

If you want to travel you would want to choose a line position.  Those are the positions in a corporation that generate cash.  Think marketing and sales.  Don't go for human resources or support positions you will get stuck in middle management.  In corporate American those who generate cash flow get rewarded handsomely.  VPs are hired from sales and marketing and finance since experience in running a profitable division is crucial in the upper tiers.  You have to like people and remember traveling for business is nothing like traveling for personal growth or recreation.  You will see a lot of bland hotels and eat in bad restaurants.

If you are really interested.
You're 21 you need to get an internship or three under your belt.
Buy and heed the advice in the book "What Color is Your Parachute", by far the best job hunting book on the planet.
Conduct information interviews with hiring managers.  The book I recommended will show you how.
Start reading Inc, Fast Company, Fortune, Forbes, WSJ and the Sunday New York Times and classic business books by Drucker, Peters, Covey, Abrahams.  Learn from mentors, books, mistakes.
Join Toastmaster.
Join another networking group.
Be willing to pay your dues with long hours.
Build friendships at every job.  Your colleagues could be your boss in a few years and vice versa.


I dropped out of corporate America myself.  It is not for everyone.  But if you take the advice above you will be ahead of most people.
Think in terms of 10 years not 1 or 2 when building a career.

Nothing wrong with that

[Synbios459]

didn't you say you want to be an accountant, why would an accountant travel?

Well I thought so, but I like to travel which is why I want that kind of job.

Oh, and since I'm handicapped that pretty much rules out any labor jobs.

you should enroll in a college sir, none of your career ideas are possible without a degree.

I realize that, which is why I'm asking here so that when I do start school I'll know what classes to take.

Ask your advisor, not a bunch of forum dwellers, dude.

[etiolate]

I didn't figure out what I wanted to do by 21.  It'll just come to you.

Go to school.  Maybe you can learn to stop being a racist while you're there.

You pick your major in college, yes, but you have plenty of time to change it since you have to take a bunch of basic core classes first...there's still the typical English, Math, Science, Political Science, etc. classes you do first.

[Ichirou]

It would've been funny if everyone had suggested careers that required manual dexterity.

Pro Wrestler

If you're going to be a murderer this is the best choice.  You can be involved in a murder suicide and people will praise you to the ceiling. 

Also: free roids.

Your assessment is so unfair.   What about pro wrestlers' strong work ethics?  

[bork]

Hey, you never know...maybe in college he'll meet a nice woman of African descent that will look past his handicap and help him out!

You have to work so damn hard for years to become a successful pro wrestler, and that's if you're lucky.  Most wrestlers do it because they love it; you don't make jack shit on indy circuits.

I'm not racist, I was just joking with Ichirou he said stuff that could be racist to.

Although it is true that I feel unsafe when I'm around lots of black people.

Not feeling safe around someone/people does not mean you're racist. I don't hate black people but I've lived in a small white town my whole life so it's hard to shake that feeling.

[Ichirou]

You don't hate black people, you just want them (and Mexicans) to all be sterilized? 

[Synbios459]

No, I was just joking with you, as I thought you were doing with me.

You should do something inspiring like trek across the Antarctic or climb an mountain and do the talk show circuit\corporate speech round.

Uh-Huh.

Mystery Evilborean: The thing that I like about Japan is how organized and formale everything is
Mystery Evilborean: formal
Mystery Evilborean: And hardly any black people.

Mystery Evilborean: Yeah, they're all "wassup homie, let me yell at you while your 5 ft away and blast 50 cent, oh cant forget my grills!"

Ichirou: Do you think the black people are going to try to mug you or something?
M.E.: Yeah.
M.E.: Or pull out a gun and shoot me.
M.E.: or knife me.

Ichirou: Do you think it would be fixed if black people were forcibly sterilized?  That way the black population would go down and crime would go down too
M.E.: Yes.
M.E.: I mean the majority of the people in jail are black.
M.E.: You're not black are you?
Ichirou: lol, no.
M.E.: White?
Ichirou: Aryan pride, brother.
M.E.: YEAH

All a joke with Ichirou except for the afraid to get mugged part. I have hardly been around black people so I can't just stop feeling this way.

[Ichirou]

We need to cure you of this fear.  You should take a trip to Michigan and hang out with Gay Boy and Phoenix Dark.

Well, please tell me how.

Watch Will Smith movies and Fresh Prince reruns until you get used to the sight of dark skin.

DON'T BE ALARMED, WE'RE NEGROES.

you want a guy who is afraid of black people to go on a talk show and talk about the amazing things he did with no hands?
