I'm looking for new career ideas....
I'm 31, Male, no college degree.

I've been struggling with cafe ownership for 9 years, and just about to sign a contract for it to be sold.


Barriers to career

I have almost no college credit and few marketable skills.

I don't like management or finances and I have little aptitude for it.

I'm not about to look at anything such as construction or related fields.

I have no aptitude for design in any sense. I'm even a sloppy dresser.


aptitude..

I like to work on projects that may last days, weeks or years.

I am especially good at replication. ie writing, music, languages

I am a good cook

I am a good listener

I am good with computers



I'm about to take classes in accounting and computers to help my wife in her new business. I'm hoping to lead it in a direction that might give me options for a new career.


I foresee something in business support but can't put my finger on it.


Any ideas?

2. Not really. I try to be honest but I'm really poor at criticizing other people.
Which is why I'm not about to go into management again.

I face alot of anxiety when I have to deal with people one on one.

I don't think it would suit me.
