Should I become more mature to the detriment of popularity?

You can choose several jobs you think you might like to do, and several cities you might like to live in, for, say, their recreational offerings, good climate, cost of living. Then start examining how you might make that into a reality. So you could move to that more pleasant city, begin looking for jobs (even now, before you move, via the newspaper), save money to make that move, if you haven't already, and then go for it.

You can travel to that city to do job interviews (or fly). Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, if you were hiring for the job you want to have, would you hire yourself? Maybe you need a clothing upgrade.

Maybe a little dieting, and at least a hair cut and shave. Practice 3hat you would say to an interviewer. Imagine yourself enjoying that lifestyle and work environment.

Do some research on the internet about places you could afford to live. A website called city-data.com even has maps showing housing and income levels for neighborhoods in various cities. Make your dream come true.

You have to make it come true yourself, instead of waiting to be allowed to move forward by your family, friends, co-workers, or present boss.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
