@jaema It seems as if I wrote about my career (Marine Officer, Architect, University Professor) within the month. Can you look back for that so I don't have to retype.. I am retired now and am weathering the Pandemic as most have to .. but as I think about the key to do well in this isolation..(I live alone) is that in my career my individual capabilities were usually thought of as very good.. and I worked alone in the creative part of my work.. My sight, voice, and thinking was not impaired at all. So getting in a profession where your individual efforts are easily seen and recognized is helpful. When you have to interact with a lot of others, particularly strangers, that's where the problems arise... Ken

Hah. I found the missing reply! 😊 I had actually been replying to @faithwalker007 above, not to you. However, I do appreciate your insights about looking for a career field in which the skills I have to offer would easily be recognized by others. I think I found networking, as a way to get ahead/advance, to be the most challenging in my past. I could do my job adequately enough but I couldn't quite navigate my social or work environment well enough to go any further. Problems certainly do arise when attempting to interact with others. It gets quite complicated.
