What do you want in life.

Im struggling to figure out, career wise, what i want in life. I went to school to be an auto mechanic but because of injuries from an accident I can not pursue it. I currently work in a dealership in the parts department. I am still using the knowledge I learned and continue to learn. My job is very physical, I am the one that puts away all the parts little clips to hoods, etc. My co workers get to sit at the computer all day and pull parts here and there, socialize with the techs and customers. I like the techs and I can tolerate my co workers but I dont have any actual friends. The one co worker I was friends with abused the relationship with sexual harrasment.

I am happy where I am, but im also not happy and feel as if there is a different career path out there for me. But I dont know how to choose. I have been here a year and want to move up to the counter but all the spots are filled.

I also feel like because I don't know what I want and I question everything it makes it hard to enjoy the job. Along with being in pain alot at work.

I am 20 and just have a fear of wasting my life.

What career did you want, how did you get there or why did you not pursue it?

I want to be happy in my personal life. I'm in a situation currently that's totally miserable & emotionally abusive. ...the thing is the courts are closed and when they do open there's a complete backlog. I'm planning to make changes although it's now going to be long wait.

I hope you can remove yourself from that situation soon.

do you have a careers advisor who can chat with you about what other career paths you could take.

[Hidden in reply to kenster1]

No I do not.

Id like to update this by saying I am now up at the front counter, pull alot of weight, and it has made the job much more enjoyable. I also became close friends with a tech whom actually goes through what I do almost to a T. Point is, keep pushing on!!
