Any mid 20s bruhs on here that don't know what they want to do for a career ?

[CLASSIK1]

I think it's even worst when you know what you wanna do, but cannot get into it yet. Studied to be a firefighter and there's absolutly no other job that compares to it. Been 3 years since i graduated and still no job. Currently studying like a maniac and just applied on a fulltime FF contest. If i don't end up being a firefighter, i really don't know what i'm gonna do

That's the most useless degree out of every stated one in this thread. And this is coming from someone who is considering studying economics at uni level..

31 and accountings not it mane career change is coming

[BoomhauerMane]

Just curious as to what everyone is studying in school right now, I'm trying to find my way as well

[purpletentacle]

What do we do Bruh?

I'm currently researching different careers trying to decide on what I'd like to do. Ideally I'll do something where I retrain and learn a valuable skill. Happy to start again from the bottom if I'll be balling in 10-15 years

[thetrebel]

20 no idea crew

[Destor]

I was there until ~25, and even then I just picked something I had never done before (or even considered) and threw myself into it.

[purpletentacle]

The real scary part of it all is when i think I'm just someone who will never have that "aha" moment. Figure it would have happened by now but nope, so why think it'll suddenly happen is just dumb

Know those feels brah. Still waiting for that 'eureka!' moment lol. I'm so jelly of people who always know what they wanted to do, end up doing that thing, and enjoying it just like they thought they would.

Meanwhile I've had no fukcing clue my entire life...

Self-esteem is really bad. I don't even bother talking to girls really because I don't feel like I'm a 'somebody' in the slightest. Mediocre / near-poverty job, and no real personal identity.

When I was younger I was terrified of being average, as the years have gone on I've realised I am distinctly average... feels so bad man sometimes I just want to die

[MrVeggie]

tip for everyone here (personal experience) go to community college (or reg college if in canada) and do a 2 year program first if you have no idea what you want to do. Its cheaper and if you dont like it then youll save more money and time.

[StuartT44]

23, in a job that's meh, pays alright for what I actually do but dont like it, stand there bored out my mind all night. Think I want to get back into computing since I enjoyed that at school, and then I can create a system that could replace my old departments jobs. And computers/ai are clearly the way forward.

[BrbTransformin]

23 and getting out of the military next year to go to nursing school hopefully. Can't wait to be back in school again.

Would highly recommend getting into a trade like most miscers say

you can't beat being an auto mechanic srs
and if you get some business knowledge you can be banking on your own garage


as a matter of fact, if you have sufficient business knowledge + any trade, you can basically crush the competition based on your guys being honest, actually doing a good job and not being alcoholics/drug addicts

[wickedman]

Good thread, nice break from the "I will be making 100k/yr at 22 come look at me" threads that pollute this forum constantly.

[BigTimePlayer]

I honestly don't know either. I keep trying to think of things I'd be good at but I can't figure it out. I always wanted to be an actor, but I'm too ****ing shy to do it & I know it's highly unlikely I'd ever get quality work in that.

[feelymcfeel]

27. Not a clue.

[jthm]

Yes, I went back to college this year, studying radiography... I pray by 30 I am settled into a career I enjoy, pain in the ass juggling school with work

Big mistake. If you havent been accepted into the program yet I would rethink that decision.

[smallasphuck]

graduating in physics this year... I don't want to be a physicist. No clue what I'm going to do

xrays blow man. money and job demand are mediocre

thats what i currently do

[jimbong]

Eh I'd say it is pretty common.

I'd prefer it over my current situation - I'm 30 and know I don't really like my current career but I make good money and am about to start a family. If I drastically switched careers I'd have to take a hit to my lifestyle and I don't want to do that. Probably just going to gut it out for the next 4 or 5 years then figure it out.

[ayodavid93]

Tfw GED and making $9 an hour working 40 hours a week. Turn 21 next month (ignore age in stats) and just feel like my "window" is closing. Chit this thread got depressed lol wonder what I'll/we'll be doing in 10 years. Been thinking lately of just enrolling at the local community college but have NO idea what field I want to major in :/

[jthm]

Can you get me a job?

[CheekyPhaggot]

In. Everyone always asking me what I wanna do for a career, and it bothers me to no fukin end that I cannot anwser =/ ffs

[low blow]

I'm 24 guys and, after doing a stupid undergraduate degree, have realised one thing in life.

You sleep 8 hours a day, work 8 (or more) hours a day and have 8 (or less) hours a day for relaxation time. If you get yourself into a good position, you work less hours and have more time to yourself + more money.

That's what you should aim for - nobody does a job they enjoy (it wouldn't be a job then). Celebrities and rich athletes aren't entering drug rehab and paying out of their ass for counseling because they feel like it.

I think we in the West have become too cushioned because 100 years ago our grandparents probably had to grind out an existence in a factory or some manual labour job that was repetitive as ****. At least today we have the opportunity to earn a living that won't kill us before we're 65 or maim us for life.

Cliffs
Nothings perfect.
Aim for a job that will give you a good lifestyle and has enjoyable parts + enables a better out of work lifestyle.

[7thbrah]

I had a job right out of college making good money, but I hate it and I'm looking to switch from the IT industry into the financial industry. I've applied to about 50 jobs in the past week. Took a Wall Street Admissions Test today for a hedge fund analyst position, pretty sure I failed it but whatever lol

[HonestGeoff]

24years old checking in.

My dad choose the career of freight forwarding/shipping for me when I was 17, thought it was okay at the time. Have saved up a lot of money but don't have any real passion for it really.

Am hoping to travel next year for a year or so, hopefuly I can figure out what I want to do then.. we all gonna make it brahs.. lets be positive!!

[Wh1teDyn0mite]

Currently 22, work in Compliance making alright money for my grades.

Studying atmo to go into BioChem, I want to help and make a difference (srs) to people.

[JoeyCraig]

got my degree in law and society (legal studies degree) but currently work for a bank (which I kinda like). Deciding between sticking with the bank and going down the finance route or applying at law firms.
