What is your doubt or worry?

[warrior1]

I'm just wondering if I feel like everyone else. All replies are welcome.

1. swine flu. Really, My baby is just about to be one.

And I am concerned about it bigtime.

2. I worry that I don't doubt enough.

Or is it that I doubt that I worry enough?

Shit, I don't remember. I doubt I will. I'm worried about that.

3. That things are never going to get better for me...

graduated from college in 2002. Took some time off from getting a job because I am fortunate to come from a family and background where that was possible: spent a year in DC volunteering extensively, interning in a cutting-edge university digital media lab (some of the media technology many DUers use every day I helped in the development of.), after that I took a 1-year assignment in an AmeriCorps program working to improve the operational efficiency of literacy programs(which I loved but only paid $9,900/year.) I took some time off (about 18 months) to be a live-in caretaker to my grandmother after she was diagnosed with a slow-progressing but untreatable lung cancer.), after which I found myself unable to get a job after that so I took a gig with Starbucks while I looked, 3 years later I decided that I needed a change of scenery to get out of my funk...so I quit and moved to NYC, where I took a job with Sears that looks better on paper but actually pays even less than Starbucks.

So...it stands that I graduated from college nearly 8 years ago and I've never had a non-P/T job and the most I've ever made in a single working year is about $14K.

I'm befuddled as to what the actual issue is even, I have a great resume filled with amazing accomplishments and I've never stopped pursuing training and certifications (across about 4 industries at this point) to better position myself...I've gone to enough interviews where I had better credentials than the person interviewing me to develop a complex.

I've always felt that I was meant to do great things and will, but I simultaneously feel like a failure at life...who pursues a $100K education to be less employable than the average HS graduate?

5. I guess why I asked

this question, I was starting to get in to funk. I'm not going to let me self wallow in this self-doubt. I am ok. I'm not perfect. But, I was never trying to be.

Also, sometimes I worry to much about what other people think.

6. I worry about, and doubt that, we'll be able to move to CA

when Mrs. V. retires. If it were right now, there'd be no way. No way to get out of our house - I think we're upside-down. :(

I also worry about retirement. I'm 46 and have very little stashed away. Woo hoo.

7. You name it and I can worry about it

I am a natural born worrier.
