I turn thirty in a couple months. At this stage in my life, when looking back on my 20s, it's been very disappointing. Sure, there are plenty of good things, but my career hasn't panned out as hoped, was convicted of a felony sex offense, have had to move pack in with parents, and so forth. What can I do at this stage in my life to improve things and make my thirties a fruitful decade where I'm employed, doing interesting things, and feeling useful.
Good things in my life, to date:
- Finished my bachelors and masters degree from a good university.
- Was employed as a statistician in the online marketing industry for four years.
Bad things in my life, to date:
- Committed a felony sex offense while I was an undergraduate at university (ended up serving three years of probation).
- Lost my job several months ago and can't find new work as a result of not being able to pass background checks.
- Moved back in with my parents.
- Never had a girlfriend.
- Degenerative neurological disorder that's slowly taking over my life (a big reason for I have been lonely and likely contributed to my improprieties).
So here I am. I want to turn things around, have a good career as a statistician, and make a descent salary. What can I do to turn things around and improve my life so that when I'm 40, I'm not looking back on my 30's and thinking that it's been disappointing.
To be honest, I'm more interested in having a good job/salary than anything else. If I never have a girlfriend, that's fine, I'm "broken goods" so I understand why I'm less appealing to women.Good things in my life, to date:
