The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

Stop worrying about what you can't do, and start taking notes of what you enjoy doing. You may find that the things you enjoy most aren't even part of your present job. Once you know what floats your boat, steer it in that direction.

That's why i talk of functional analyst, because its the only way out for which i already have a diploma...but since it requires strong technical background, i'm squeezed...

How can i apply for a job in communications/relations without a diploma ? No recruiter is willing to take the risk...
However, you have given me an idea.. get a job writing blogs,articles, wikis...but i'm afraid that there are little job offers on that, since its so common that nearly everyone know how to write blogs and wikis himself !

Be careful when speaking to recruiters (or anyone during the interview process). You need to have a clear explanation why you want to go into communications. And the explanation "to get out of coding" is not a good one.

I think you misunderstood Ulf here. He is not saying to get a job writing a blog, which as you pointed out, there really aren't many. I think he is saying to write a blog, articles, wikis, etc. on your spare time, so when you do apply for a writing job, you have stuff to refer to. Stuff that showcase your talent, knowledge, etc.

Knowiing my personnality, and also knowing that i took the wrong career choice, what's the way out now ?

How do you see that this experience can help me ?

Is there anything that you want to do? And want it enough to acquire all the skills for it?

I would like to go into communications, but i do not want to go back to scool or start a night course in order to acheive this. its time and efforrt consuming, not to speak of the financial engagement...

For someone who's 25 you're not willing to do much in order to be able to do something you like. What ARE you willing to do to pursue your goals?

If you speak of night courses -> You may know like me, that once you get out of the work place at 6pm, you have absolutely no desire to go and start your night courses. All you want to do is have a long rest after a hard day's work.
