I don't think that I want to go back to college yet; I frequently burnt myself out and had mental breakdowns from not prioritizing what I had to do, and I think I'd need to learn organization skills first to get the most out of returning to academia.
Becoming an actuary is a no-go for me, because the actuary-prep classes confused me, and I had a total meltdown from failing what was supposed to be the simplest exam. (Did I mention that my relatively modern textbook seemed like a dry read to me?)
I doubt that I'd make a decent statistician. What my stats teachers discussed frequently went over my head, and in group projects, I mostly chose to help with the non-technical aspects.
I'm not too adept at foreign languages, and that includes computer code. I struggled just to get passing grades in my comp sci courses.
I did try becoming a math teacher for over a year (even though I was frequently distracted with minor projects), but I've since learned that becoming a teacher requires enrolling into a college and passing relevant courses... again, that's not what I want. So, I changed to tutor-opening hunting, but nothing's happened yet. Even when I get accepted for an interview in spite of a lack of a valid teacher's certificate, someone with better credentials always fills the position. I don't believe that I possess any transferable, profitable or marketable skills besides the ability to fiddle with numbers, so what do I do?!
