Well, it's other people in my life that think I should go back and finish the degree. Even though that kind of work probably what I'm most appropriate for, I've resisted since I think they are being overly optimistic and it would be a waste.

Do you have any recommendations what careers I should be looking at, given my limitations (terrible memory, speech)? I have a hard time coming up with anything that's a significant improvement on what I'm currently doing.

Terrible memory -> take notes

Speech -> rehearse

Why let things stop you.

I do both, and they help, but they have limits. I can't look at my notes during a closed book test, and I can't perfectly predict how a conversation will go, so it always ends up somewhere I wasn't able to practice. Neither of this issues have gotten better with time.
