I have been having a major issue over recent weeks/months I'm stuck in an endless loop of worrying about my future. I know I shouldn't be worrying about something that I can't control but I can't stop. Since finishing my second year at University (in a subject I know longer really love like I once did) I have been searching both in my own mind and other places and have found a path I would like to take. The path of Teaching, I know its hard work and never going to be easy but I feel as if it would give me both a purpose and a life I could be happy with. My University offers a something called a Graduate Teaching Assistant Role, this role is something I have set my sights on as it would be perfect for me a nice way to ease me in, learn and get paid at the same time. However, its competitive to a point of stupidity, I don't feel as if I am good enough or that I even know how to go about making myself a better candidate than the person next too me.
I was hoping that someone would have some advice on what I should do? Where do I go next? has anyone else been in a position like I currently am? My future seems hopeless to me as I see know way that I will succeed in this and its killing me a inside a little everyday.

Peace
