Hi Akshaya,

I think anyone can fit in and belong in any kind of work environment, but what you want to do, is instead of focusing on what others think, or their approval, is find out what you are passionate about. Write in a peice of paper anything you like. Then in another column, what did you like and what excited you as a child? What did you like in school? Your favorite subjects? What would you do, if you didn’t need the money, but just wanted something to do, to make you excited, in the moment and happy?

Do you like animals? Try finding a job such as a zookeeper, etc. Do you like creativity? Try to find a job in marketing? Do you like numbers? Lots of great jobs in that as well. Do you like working with your hands? Arts, crafts? Do you like helping others? There is social work, mental health professions, etc. Find what makes you happy, or happy as a child, and if you need college, try attending college part time to get a degree. Just some thoughts.
