Hi Addison,
I have had jobs at restaurants and stuff but sometimes I have difficulty holding a job due to personal problems.
Addison, I will pray for you that God gives you wisdom and strength to maintain a job and also find good employment, where you can mature and settle down. I can sympathize with you. Sometimes our person weakness posses a hindrance to us progressing and being at rest. Take one day at a time, pray for your parents and those who took care of you. I am sure God will give you Grace (help and divine intervention on your heart) to bless them in the future. Listen to what they suggest to you.
There are a number of distinct specialty areas within health psychology:
Subfields Within Health Psychology
•Clinical Health Psychology: This subfield of health psychology is strongly linked to clinical psychology and involves activities such as psychotherapy, behavior modification and health education.
•Community Health Psychology: Individuals working in this subfield of health psychology often focus on developing interventions and prevention techniques at the community-level. These professionals may conduct assessments of communities or work with groups to encourage healthy behaviors or promote behavior change.
•Public Health Psychology: These health psychology professionals focus on understanding health at the population-level and often offer advice to health care professionals, government agencies and health educators.
•Occupational Health Psychology: This is an emerging subfield within health psychology that incorporates industrial-organizational psychology and related disciplines. Occupational health psychologists focus on understanding how workplace issues are linked to both physical and mental illness.
In which areas did you do your degree in, I am sure if you do your research you will find a good job in a area that has demand presently. Also look at the option of working abroad. For that you need to be able to take care of yourself (physically and emotionally) especially being able to maintain a job.
I found from my experience most of the training spiritually I got from my work place. I am so glad that I never went for full time work in Christian circles. I had a tempting offer once when I was based in Dubai and I became a believer at age 22. I wanted to do something big for the Lord. Here comes a man who was from one of US cities and affiliated to a big bible school. He asked me that I was willing to come to join the bible school and figure out my ministry. The Lord told me no, as I had at that time the burden of taking care of my family (two younger brothers and my mom) as my Dad passed away at age 21. I started taking care of them since age 18.
Now I am 49 with a son (age 21) and daughter (age 18).
God has been very good to me and I am surprised on who all he sent my way to mentor me and guide me. You are so blessed to listen and read what is on bible-truth.com. I was associated with a great bible teacher "Zac Poonen" in India and his teaching for many years I thought was the ultimate truth. You will be able to find his web site, he places all his books, audio and video on his web site for free. he also never had full time workers. he never got a salary and no one else also did. he has supported and mentored over 70 churches in India and other parts of the world now. I am so glad I learnt from Zac than in the bible schools and he was a mentor to me. He preached a lot on Grace (as help) and also on New Covenant.
When I started understanding the errors I had accumulated in my understanding due to many traditions of Christianity, in the past 16 years (between year 1986 to 2000) some time in the year 2000 onwards, this lead for me to be alone and never be part of any church. So in a sense I am living in the wilderness. My children never went to church since 2002 onwards and therefore have now kind of adapted atheist views like everyone else. In a way I can say I failed to help them to know Jesus Christ. God never lead me to do that for some reason and never placed a burden. I was so much shattered with all the failures in the past in the church ministry process in Dubai and never went back to ministry. I lead a small group at my home and never was a paid worker doing God's work. I ended ministry work in 1997 when group split and never entered into ministry since then. Been now alone in the wilderness with my wife.
My profession was in the Bank and mostly has been in areas of: operations and technology in many business areas in the bank, now I am in the profession of a Business Analyst. I person who never finished High School (finished only up to grade 10), also never done a undergraduate degree.
I was born in Pakistan, grew up in Dubai (Middle East from age 11) and migrated to Canada in 1999 (age 36 or so) and now I am a Canadian citizen. I managed to do my Master of Science in Software Engineering through online studies through University of Liverpool, UK, as a part time study initiative along side a full time job (40 hours a week). Doing 20 hours of study per week in evenings and weekends, when doing modules and finally finished this in 2011 after a period of 3 years of study. God always lead me to do what helped me in my future and I never realized what I was really doing, achieving and going in my life.
After reading the book Creation Jubilee by Stephen Jones, my whole perspective changed on God. I saw God much bigger than what I originally saw him. I came across Ray web site (bible-truths.com) around 2001/2, and then the Lord only made me focus on reading Stephen Jones material on GodsKingdom Ministries. I only came back here this year June or so to read Ray's material. The reading was blessed and I missed understanding what Ray was about. You will find a lot here for your life ahead.
Correction: I am learning to be content (have a long way to go) at this stage in my life and I want to be a overcomer and partake of the Grace of God.
God Resists the proud and God gives Grace only to the humble.I pray that God will help you ahead brother and guide you. I am writing this for your encouragement.
I will pray that God will give you a job soon.God is Love.
