How do I talk about fear in french?

Question

The activity is to introduce ourselves (what we like, don't like, find interesting, want to do in life) and then it says: "si vous avez peur de quelque chose."

My understanding is that it is asking about things we are afraid of. Since i'm talking about a job (what I find interesting, what I want to do), I would like to say something along the lines "I have fear that I will not find a job."

I know the beginning should be "J'ai peur que" but after that, is "je ne trouve pas traviller." Acceptable? Or is there a better way to say this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For context, the earlier sentences are:

Je vais à l'université pour etudier la psycholgie. Je veux travailler pour une agence de gouvernment. Je travaillerai à Washington D.C.

Answer 1

You should say, "My fear is that I will never get a job that I want"
Translate
"Mi temor es que nunca voy a conseguir un trabajo que quiero" it should be the same thing but in spaqnish

Answer 2

wait in french it is "Ma crainte est que je ne serai jamais obtenir un emploi que je veux, sorry i was thinking spanish

Answer 3

I think I have to use "peur" instead of "craindre" though because the way it is use in the text? I was looking back and it says "peur" must be used with the subjontif. So, is "J'ai peur que je ne trouve pas un travail" incorrect? Should "emploi" be used?

Thank you for your help! But I'm trying to figure out how to phrase it so I will know for myself - not just to complete this exercise. :) It's intermediate french, so I know that it sounds simplistic.
