All talk seems to be recently is about future, whether it be mine or others talking about there’s. There’s no surprise really, with another journey of our education ending, however, I’m finding it to become a nuisance.
I’ve never known what I wanted to as my career, nor have I really known what I’ve wanted to do next in life, I’ve just kind of hoped something came up, or seen something that took my interest and gone for it. So when it comes to people talking about their, future, going to University, planning what they want to do for their career I’m just sort of there hoping something comes up for me.
Does it mean I’m lazy though? The fact that I’m not always looking for something to do. I mean, I haven’t really planned, or really do plan anything, yet when it comes to my future I have so much uncertainty about it, it’s one of the reasons why I haven’t continued further into education because I don’t know what I want to do for it, or what really interests me, it changes so often! I don’t want to start studying something, which I later find on that I don’t really want to do.
I guess one of the points I’m trying to make, is do many people really know what they want to do as their career, or do we just fall into the things that we do?
Well I fell into being a chef/catering, and I fell into my current job due to knowing someone else there, and I have not really known what I wanted to do !
@Chefkev Well there’s some reassurance. I just hope I don’t end up in one of these dead-end jobs for the remainder of my life – I’d feel like I’ve wasted my education!
@itsdaniel0 hopefully, you may be surprised what you fall into, I did train for catering at college for 2 years, so not a wasted time, but I did fall into catering as a choice, it was suggested to me at a careers meeting and as I had nothing else, i said I would give it a go. 20 years I ended up doing cheffing for.
@Chefkev Yes, I’m being given suggestions – I guess I’m just scared to take the leap into a career!
@itsdaniel0 well plenty of people alter career paths in their life, just because you choose/fall into one does not mean that it will be one you follow forever.
i spent 3 years at collage studying marine telecommunications and ended up working for 22 years in the pub industry before working in a call center for 18 months before having to give up work .
