I’ve never had realistic ambitions for the future and now that I’m transitioning from a junior to a senior, everyone wants to know what I plan on doing with the rest of my life. Lately I’ve put a lot more thought into it, but I’m still drawing a blank.
Unfortunately, I don’t have very many passions that I’m actually aware of. I love working with animals, so I considered a career in that area, but nothing I’m interested in pays well at all (except for becoming a vet, which I have no desire to do).
I’ve studied career branches that colleges offer and have even taken multiple career tests, but nothing has helped.
I want a job that pays well AND makes me happy, but I have no idea how to go about looking for it. My time for exploring and deciding on what I want to do is running out. I desperately need scholarships to enroll in college, and no one wants to interview a kid who has no idea where they’re going. I was wondering if any of you knew tactics that would help speed up the process of choosing a career path, or could even suggest something that would trigger an idea or few.
Thank you for reading, xoxo
