i need career advice.. can you have more than one career?

I know i either want to be a teacher, phychologist or a social worker.. i just cant decide. I know you're supposed to go with your passion, and what you enjoy doing, and i'd enjoy all of those careers i just cant decide. However, i'm kinda leaning more towards being a pychologist. But being a social worker also appeals to me. I love helping people anyway i can. I cant do both can i?

Presentation in public

I held a presentation at my new job. I thought it went ok, with minor problems. The boss was also happy.

A colleague however, privately gave me some feedback and I think she's right, but I'm not sure what I can do about it.

She said I was very loud (heck, I'm a teacher at origins...) and that "your presence filled the room". She felt threatened, she felt I was aggressive.

She was unable to give me info on how to change that. I did not move around practically at all and my gestures were not too much (as she said). She thought I was very confident and convincing.

But it's not the first time I hear about being aggressive (somebody else thought that, too). Does anyone have any suggestions how I can minimize that? If I cause my audience to become defensive, it's not good.

I was involved with a music project and wasn't credited on the album

If you spent quite a while in fact over four days working on a mixdown production for an album, should the artist at least give a credit on the album sleeve, yes I was paid and dont expect and royalties but it's fair that names should be listed on the album, was this a selfish act on the musicians behalf and wanted 100% of the glory???

Have you ever felt that you are working in hell?

Not that I don't make mistakes because I do. However, I have the feeling that my co-workers keep blaming me for their mistakes. I am the second youngest person and the least experience at my work place. I would like to know if everyone has this experience or it's just me.

I feel so exhausted every single day.

Have you experienced this?

What is wrong with me?

I don't want to go to work anymore. I just want to stay home most of the time, relax in bed, sleep, lie in front of the tv, talk with people on the phone/text. I find myself isolating myself from others. I just feel exhausted dealing with people most the time, but I want relationships. I find my house peaceful, but at the same time I feel so alone. I feel safe when I crawl into bed, wrap the covers around myself like a cocoon, and just sleep. This feels off. I know I have to go to work, support myself, pay bills, etc.. I thought of being unemployed next year does scare me, but at the same time, I'm over worrying all the time and kissing some employer's ass for chump change. I feel absolutely drained, tired and and not up to doing what normal people seem to do everyday. I quit my job this year, fortunately, I saved up enough money to live on till next year. I'm doing OK for now, but I will need to go back to work next year. I'm supposed to be interviewing for jobs now, and I even find myself cancelling interviews. What's wrong with me?

Update: November 19, 2009.
Thank you to all that responded. I know I have to support myself next year so this is concerning. Funny thing is, if I could work from home, I would feel so much better. There's something about home that feels safe. I did not like my previous job, the passive-aggressive, gossippy environment, the inflexibility, and the lack of control on where my life was going. I also felt isolated from people I liked, family, friends, etc.. I felt overworked, so I was too tired to socialize. Then, when I had time to socialize, all I wanted to do was sleep. Now that I'm out of that situation, I feel better and free. I like that I don't have to report to some boss, or deal with colleagues that constantly gossip. Eventough I'm out of that environment, I get these moments where I feel the same way I did when I was working. I also waste days doing nothing instead of being productive about my career change. This is definitely not healthy. I want to be productive, but I end up sleeping or idling my day away. Plus, I've noticed that I'm putting on weight, eventhough I have more time to exercise. If this is depression, then I may have chronic depression. I have felt this way before and had to take breaks from school because of it. I think I may need help.

Can anyone recommend a good (FREE) website that helps you figure out...

what your passion is in life? I took something like the PSAT once that asked questions like "do you think you would enjoy reading a medical journal describing a new surgery?" or "would you enjoy balancing a checkbook?" etc. I was young and answered based on who I thought I wanted to be not who I really was... now I can't afford to pay for a test, but I would appreciate free ones... and yes I know what google is, but if anyone already knows of one and liked it I would appreciate the recommendation...

I have never been so stressed!

Ive been away for two days straight doing homework. Today my drawing teacher literaly ripped my six hour drawing off the board and ripped it in the process. Now I need to redo it by tommarow and I alos have a project for another class due, but I havn't even had a chance to start it because I have been doing all these drawings. And she told me I wasn't going to be able to make it through art school, that it "wasn't my thing". Right now the only thing keeping me awake is a poping open another red bull every thirty minuets. What are some good ways to releave stress? Other than going off on my profesor cause her class is the only one Im failing, all my other art profesors like my work, and I need to pass it.
