I found the quick change of secrets (Deep family issues to dance moms) really funny.

I figure I could lighten the mood, but serious I have somehow watched the new episode 3 weeks in a row now.

Can never seem to pull the trigger with girls... this girl likes me a lot and I also like her... and she wants to take things slowly and I just can't figure out when the most comfortable moment to kiss her is.

Re: Deepest, darkest secrets you're willing to share about yourself

I am not happy with my career choice. I went to school for business administration with an emphasis in accounting. I completed an internship and got a job a few weeks ago. Well, yesterday they decided I was not a good fit for the company, so they let me go. In some ways, I agree with them. I think they saw that this was not really what I wanted to do, as hard as I tried to hide it.

Honestly, I felt forced by my parents and the economy to go to school and get a degree in a traditional field. I had something different in mind though. I hated school and planned to not go to college. What I truly wanted to do after high school was...hockey. I wanted to get a job at Sharks Ice as either a coach, referee, or any other on-ice position. I played for six seasons but haven't played in four years now. I miss it badly. Truthfully, that is the one thing (away from family of course) that I absolutely love. Hockey is my game and my life. 90% of my free time is devoted to some form of hockey, whether it's watching games, playing NHL 13, or watching highlights online.

I am now back where I started, with no job and not sure what to do next. I have a career services lady from school to send me job leads (she is the reason I had my former job for 2 weeks). I am just not sure if I can tolerate office work, or any other work. Sure, I liked my internship and short-lived job, and the people were great, but I didn't love it. Perhaps it showed.

This may sound generic, but I want to wake up and not feel like I'm "going to work." I am one of those people that believes everything happens for a reason. Maybe this was the reason. If I get a hockey job, I will suck it up and pay off my school loans, dismissing school as a $30,000 experiment that didn't work. Money is no object here, I just want to do what I love.

This may not seem like a deep, dark secret, but to me it is, because it has been on my mind for years, and I have not revealed it to anyone yet. Maybe it is a disorder to be this attached to a sport, but I don't care.

I'm similar in that I graduated with a degree in accounting, mainly because it was a safe, in demand field. After 5 years in my current job, I'm so burnt out and unmotivated that the days just drag by. My dream job is a meteorologist, but I'm not good enough in math and science to even think about doing that now. I'm about to start working on a masters in accounting just to try and get a higher paying job somewhere, but my heart isn't in it at all, and I'm not excited about doing it.

At least you kind of wanted to do accounting though, since you lasted five years. For me, I knew from the start I didn't want to do this. During high school, when my parents asked me what I wanted to do, I always gave the generic doctor, lawyer, engineer, CEO answers just to please them. As graduation got closer, I told them I was unsure, even though I knew I wanted to do something hockey-related. I was just afraid to speak up for fear of backlash. Then I would get the money lecture and all that stuff. The thing is, I don't care about money. If I can make a living and be around hockey, that's all I need. I think when the career services department calls on Monday, I will tell them what's on my mind. At this point I don't know if there is much they can help me with.

Also, just because I am good at something does not mean I have to like it. I passed all my accounting classes and a tax class with high A's. I know my stuff, but I was just going through the motions of school I guess.

I think I am going to apply to be a referee through USA Hockey. I think at this point, whatever happens, happens. It's my life and I only get one, so I am going to live how I want.

I would think that team operations could certainly use someone with a background in accounting. I think you could certainly get in with some hockey team at an entry level position with a degree in business management.

I'm really paranoid. If someone doesn't talk to me or doesn't respond to a message I assume they hate me and stuff like that.

I appreciate this advice, and it is definitely something I would consider, but I don't think I want to do office work or accounting at all anymore. I would rather be on the ice.

Gotcha. Being around sports has always been something I've wanted to do and so Sports Management/Front Office type stuff was always something I've considered. But I definitely understand where you're coming from when you say that. I'm planning on possibly getting my ref certification through the IHSAA if I can't find a job right after I get out of college, but I never really had the real itch to be physically out on the floor. I'm currently in school for broadcasting (preferably radio) and if I were to ref, it would only be to earn some $$ while I look for a job in my field.

Sorry if this bump isn't allowed or anything.

Lately, I've considered the idea of taking my life. If it wasn't for one of my friends... *shudder*

I've been through this too, if you need me, just pm me and I'll be there as soon as I see it when I Can pm you back.

Yep. That one happens to me a lot as well.

I killed a frog with rocks in a jar in the 4th grade. Viciously. My friend over at the time was an animal lover.

It doesn't help that those people probably do hate me lol. It's hard dwelling on everything.
