Default Sagely Advice

Thank you very much for the advice, JavaBlack. Since you were, not too long ago, roughly where I am in life (and with many more tangible obstacles) and you persevered, your suggestions are of uniquely high value.

What sort of jobs make the best stepping stones? Moreover, knowing what you do of my phobias and neuroses, to what sort of job situations would I need to desensitize myself?

Just like how you got yourself out to walk and got yourself to take the GED.
Well, with the GED, I made a New Year's Resolution and I am obsessive about not breaking my word. I'm extremely determined in getting from point a to point b once I decide where point b is. My problem is that I often have trouble making that decision.
