Question

I feel like I'm in the clouds.

People ask, "what do you want to do after college? What job?" Everyone says a lawyer or a doctor or a nurse. I get embarrassed when they ask me. I say either a graphic designer, an animator, or something in the music industry. Everybody has their sight on something and here I am, looking towards just dreams that may never be fulfilled or jobs that may never give me enough money. Anyone there to give me some words of wisdom or just thoughts in general?

Answer 1

I was exactly in your position not long time ago. I can say that it is really pretty hard to decide. If you have the will to pursue something, just do it. I'm pretty sure you'll find a way no matter how hard it is. Your success depends on you. Most people say follow your heart and what you really want, but I believe that if you will follow what your heart says, you should also take your brain with you. These are the questions I had in my mind when I was choosing the program that I want after high school:

1. What I really want to do in my entire life? Is it compatible with my skills and abilities?
2. If I will continue pursuing this, what are the ups and downs that I will face?
3. If in case this doesn't work for me, are there any other opportunities that I can open that is related to this program?

After that, I listed all the programs and inquire a lot of people/internet about these and slowly narrowed it down until I finally decided what I really want. Hope this helps though.
