I am thinking of working on my strengths this time. Math was my thing growing up even with limited resources. I thought now that I have all the resources on the internet I can refresh and learn what I didnt growing up and maybe get a career later on in life about it or become a tutor online or offline. I found out I am embracing my true self now, that I used to be ashamed of. So I am not the social butterfly or the prom queen but God has given me some tools to make it in life. So I decide I will use it. I took accounting and business in college. I remember I barely passed the subjects in accounting. Given it is one of the best schools in the country with the brightest but still those barely passing grades are telling. Must be one of the reasons I struggled with my jobs. But I got better and now my boss wont even let me go. So yes with practice we can be better. I know you can tell I'm all over the place with my life but Im doing my best to get it together. Even small wins and glimpse of hope I can work on, I will give a shot. Maybe this time knowing that I will be helping the new generation with their studies give me more purpose in life.

That's one career path I considered too, but later in life. In high school my classmates would ask me to explain them Math and complimented me as I was better than the teacher. I think your degree is enough, you might try to practice tutoring with the children of your friends for a very low price until you feel confident enough to charge the right amount. You may also want to study some pedagogy on your own. You can also create a YouTube channel for educational purposes. There are many ways, just focus on your goal and you'll see many paths. Helping kids build their future is one of the most noble purposes in my opinion. It isn't just about teaching them subjects but values as well, and ways to cope with this difficult world.

I love what you said. You are wise to learn that at an early age. You will come to even more realizations later in life.

Fate plays a big role in our lives. So jobs may go and come you have to do something to sustain yourself.

Things have certainly changed quite a bit since the internet has been around. My husband has a relative who does online tutoring. She is only part time but makes a decent income. I wish you all the best. Keep us updated.

She is very lucky and for sure has put in a lot of work. I am eager to start this gig but I am my time and energy is limited.

Thank you allen. I may sound a bit nerdy but I find answeing Math questions fun. So when I heard there are chat based math tutorial work, I started refreshing my math knowledge. Somehow the online bookkeeping path, I cant force myself to watch a 1 hour video tutorial. But that path is not totally closed, just making a hiatus. A company continued with my application process but they are offering full time job and I told them Im looking for part time.

I tried applying for some positions in private companies, was declined several times but not giving up. You got to figure out your strengths you have them or practice on one and focus on it. You are gifted.
