How to choose my career?

[Anonymous]

I am 17 years old nd really confused what to do after school, I dont have any talents or passion, and I am really confused what to do in my life.

It is not uncommon to not know and be unsure about what you want to do in life. Don’t worry about it too much. There is still time to figure that out. You can talk with family and people you know about their professions to get an inside glimpse of some careers.

Seek out advice from campus offices of prospective schools. Ask them about their programs and see if any interest you. You may find something that you never even thought of.

The last thing you can try is to enroll at a university and get your core courses that everyone is required to take over with. A lot of schools, that take a couple of years before really getting involved in a focused area of study.

Of course, all schools will be a bit different. So, I would advise talking to them about what options you have to start since you are not sure what you ultimately want to do with a career.

Do you think a liberal arts degree is a good place to start?

[PrettyPriya]

Absolutely! I would still talk to a school about it. They will be the best guidance. They will tell you what jobs degrees can earn you.

Thank you for the MHO! 🙂

That's ok. Even people who think they know often change their minds. What do you want to do right now?

[Asker]

I don't know what I want to do right now.
I am thinking of taking a liberal arts degree to start something.

Get a job and another one…

Discover what you dislike and in that process you will discover what interests you. And you see the career applied practically in the world. Community college courses in plumbing, electrical, heat/air are great places to start. It is NOT Easy study but math, science, and systems are needed.
