So in a way, you are feeling blocked and hesitating to 'try' it, based on using the tarot {which brings to the surface whatever is in your subconscious mind} to be validated-- validates what you were feeling (without actual experiential knowledge).
Would be a cool experiment to go ahead and "attempt" one of the actual working-fields for a while to ascertain whether the 'feelings' were true, or were revealing your (natural, understandable) doubt~fear that kept you from the reality of it.
Would have been a really powerful experience and been a validation of your intuition (whichever way it flowed). THAT's Valuable.
I remember one of the things you trained in was dentistry. {You'd have to have SUCH a passion FOR dental-health to overcome the yukky negatives you'd experience in such a career? .. That's a Calling!! more than an outlet for using skills for making money. LOL. More Power To Them, Skilled Dental people are much-needed for health of the body.}
Philosophically, I wonder how completely perfect some careers or jobs can be {without complete passion}? There may always be a 'part' of the job that you'd like less.
I'd worked over 20 years as a 'Temp' in a banking industry trade. I did the same basic job, for different companies in the city I lived in. But mostly, what stood out, was the variety of combination of personalities that colored each office.
. .
Yes, business offices have their own personality and invisible power-grids to discern-- It could bring surprise when you discover it contains not-so fine individuals. Some companies are 'stuck' once they hire people like that, and find out the truth of 'how' they are. Some even LIE about their skills (on purpose)~~ which is a bummer, and a WASTE for everyone.
. .
The personality-mixes in a work 'environment' can make-or-break a good day had by all-- You spend MOST of your conscious day with them, then afterwards you are tired and need to be facing your home-life.
You 'want' to find the right combination of individuals to team-up with, otherwise you could wind up "loving your job," but hating to go into the work-atmosphere each day, making it toxic-as-hell. The stress in a negative place like that could even make you physically ill over time.)
Some places drove me up a wall--
I was glad that in some, they were 'truly' just for a few weeks only. I remember working brief-assignments for places where 'what' they required in doing the job {unknowingly to them} actually worked to foul-up what they (thought) leant to successful-accomplishing {usually because of ego, or incompetence}. Some offices were open to receiving my suggestions (as an outsider with experience in the field of their competitors!).
So yah..
There are the crap-side of things you can be asked to do as part of the job. The question would be whether you could focus-self more on the parts of it that you LOVE. Later if possible, maybe talk about some way of approaching the crappier duties with an empathetic boss?
Common denominator in ALL things-- is your Life and The TIME and attention you invest in what you do.
Everything in life brings rich learning-experiences whether you're conscious of it or not. And, nothing you 'do' ever goes to waste. Even the most menial positions you've had in your youth, can have given you 'something of value' that LATER on in life, you will USE and be glad you had done it.
In the USA, jobs in certain huge sectors pay such freakin' unbelievably LOW WAGES-- They have jobs that 'cost' the worker MORE to prep-for and attend each day, than could EVER really become to benefit-- where you are compensated-enough to pay your basics and feel like you could get ahead somehow. Your 'time' and efforts put INTO going to work, do NOT meet actual-costs involved in working the job!
The COSTS of working (even volunteering) are deceptively higher (and hidden, until you figure it out after time).
Thing is? Most don't realize that the less-resourced a worker is, the more it COSTS them! The worker needs to be able to make-up the difference-- for the efforts/money-upkeeps it takes 'just to attend' a slave-wage job.
{This has been a story-item discussed on News and Media recently. These have NO idea what they're talking about. They noisily garner much-attention, in the negative. To 'serve' *them* and their daily pleasure-habits, they wish those who Do the serving, to do-for-them on bare-livable 'slave' wages-- It's a sign of ignorance {lack of knowledge} and of their feeling-entitled!
They show themselves as above knowing the 'reality' of the way things 'are' for a percentage in this country. They show disrespect for worker dignity and their well-being.}
Child of Venus, you are blessed to be in a position where your parents are dedicated to your success and welfare, making sure you 'have' the basic things you need in life. They are your backup. At their death, you will be the beneficiary of their Will/Resources.
, ,
At that point, it will require Wisdom on your part, to manage that successfully.
If the tarot is revealing how you 'feel', then how do you know whether that IS the 'actual' fact and reality in the future? Perhaps it only reflects the state of your 'fear' of having a new experience?
The natural talent and aptitude you have IN a job might MORE-than-compensate for the negs-part in your achievements.
Remember-- you have backup. This should raise your ability to risk because your parents ARE your safety (while they are still here).
They provide your back-up security-- you can count-on them being there. With them on your side, you actually don't have anything to lose (when it comes to surviving). The POSITIVE that you will gain is 'experience' and real-knowledge of the situation. Your 'effort', your 'trying' -- no matter what the consequence -- is SAFE to 'do'. (Financially, you have covering.)
It is "rich" to have living-people in your life who 'have your back' and who love and support you 'no matter what befalls' in what you attempt.
YOU have 'people' who Love you, and Believe in you. Any downfalls experienced (as you dare to take first-risks) are lowered.
You have Love and care weaved-into your Safety-net.
I know you've been struggling over 'what' you've wanted to 'do' for YEARS now. Your parents might even have pressured you to DECIDE on something. {Perhaps it's because *they* know that Time is going by, and with them being more elderly, there may come a point where they physically cannot BE there for you anymore, in the same way}.
. .
WHILE you have that 'security' net, it can only be a BONUS to you, for you to 'risk', and to 'know'-- (even if it's a fail doing it).
Maybe have a talk with them, on 'what would happen' IF you failed your attempts at individuation? Would they STILL be there for you?, or, once you're out, the door slams behind you?
TALK about your security needs with them.
They know you best?
I hope you come to know in SOLID reality what a REAL treasure you have-- when there are real-life People in your corner, who materially have your back, and are 'there' as your safety-net.
You might eventually find that your 'feelings' were not as revealing of the negativity over your future, once you actually get-into that position and work-it a while.
The good-parts of it could out-shine and out-weigh the less-appealing parts. Could bring you an inner sense of accomplishment and happiness to know that you've MADE it.
All Labor is Blessed --
as it is profitable for learning,
and even for complete Self-Support.
This is especially true for you
because you have a no-fail safety-net.
Keep your birthday-suit Healthy and ready for whatever life asks of you.
