So, from a young age we are asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" When you are 15 you have to decide whether you want to continue studying or get a job. If you decide to carry on studying you have to think of what qualifications would help you in your future career. Then at the age of 17/18, you have to decide whether you want to go to university or not. Then you have to commit to 3 to 4 years of studying a degree that will again, help you in your future career. But what if you have no idea what you want to do? There are so many different career paths and job sectors, how do we choose?
I am 20 years old and still do not know what I want to do and it is becoming very frustrating! I have no idea what my interests are so I can't even start from there. Even if I do think of something, most of the time you have to gain qualifications and fork out loads of money on courses and university... what happens if I start the job and don't like it? What a waste of money!
Work takes over at least 80% of your life, so you need to enjoy it! Or at least make it fun. And if you do not like something, then change it! I've had to keep telling myself this all the time. No one can make the decision for you, you have to do it yourself. People can advise you and support you, but you have to make the jump!
I may have to start making a list of things I want to do and see where to go from there. It's time for me to man up and try new things!
I'll let you know how I get on in my adventures! Peace out! x
