It would be so great, and helpful, if college career centers could be front and center in every student’s planning. But most career centers are useless, because most colleges presume you still need college to teach you how to think critically. So they can get away with having incompetent career centers. How does this help you?

Even though you say you only do it at work… No way I could, which is why IT is the best career for me. It's making you seems less "able" especially when people are turning to you for sound advice on an extremely important issue (their career), presumably from someone quite able, more able than themselves.

It's even scarier to be a career advisor in a financial mess.

It's very scary to have a messy financial life. Thank you, and Happy Birthday.

the career stuff is ok, but it feels like you write that when you are being boxed in by those around you. Write about how you have been successful in your career despite your Aspergers, although I think you might not like this because as you mentioned in a previous post, it would glorify the abnormal. And your life is redemptive.
