Don't know what job I want to do

[westendgirlz]

I don't know what career I want. All the women in my family have either done bookkeeping or been stay at home mums, and the men all go down the self-employed builder/plumber/electrician etc route. Nothing wrong with any of that but none of it interests me.
I'm in my 20s and still doing a degree in French, currently abroad teaching English in France, which I'm loving. I originally wanted to be an MFL teacher in a secondary school, but I don't know if I could do it as I only speak French and no other foreign languages, and I hear so many horror stories about teaching... it puts me off. I could teach English abroad permanently but not sure if I could afford to move, and I do miss some aspects of UK life!
What I'm not good at... maths/science/computers. I can do basic maths and can use Microsoft Office but that's it!
I am happy to do something where I meet lots of different people, even rude ones, as I have a thick skin. I don't want to be stuck in an office constantly. I don't mind a couple of hours sitting at a desk, but I like variety. I have considered being an estate agent for that reason but just not sure on the pay or how to actually become one.
I don't want and can't have children so I'm not worried about finding a job that would enable me to have family time too. I just want something that will keep me busy, decent pay

Try a civil service career like law enforcement. There’s several others I’m sure with the government. Best wishes.

A friend of ours was a TEFL teacher in London mainly working for foreign kids in language schools (work peaks in the summer) then he started teaching English to refugees/asylum seekers and other recent migrants at a local college. Some of that is evening/weekend so you could do it and perhaps be a teaching assistant for a while in ten times and see what you like. French may well be enough to teach anyway.

My Son was not sure what todo so has had quite a few jobs since Uni, always trying something different. So far since his degree in Graphic Design has been a fashion designer for a Japanese label, working as fashion designer for Circus Soleil, Worked in a Skateboard Company in Sales and Web design, and now a Lighting Designer with an international architects. Some people just like a change. With your French skills you could work for many UK / French companies from fashion, food, or Defence industries. Or if you don't want to use those skills just do something that interests you. You will spend most of your life either working 8 hours, or sleeping 8 hours, so choose a job you like with people you like to spend time with, if you find you make a poor choice find another you seem quite capable, so once you find the right job you will do well, and inevitably your earning will rise.
