Which career path?

[Anonymous]

I don’t enjoy any jobs at all apart from unrealistic ones like acting or modelling… I’m very shy I will cancel anything to avoid socialising. Hairdressing and accounting are the only other jobs I’d be ok to pursue.. but I don't know which one. Ik accounting you have to do a lot of exams and work your way up to get a decent salary and similar with hairdressing. I’d probably want to do hairdressing from home. I am not fit for working long hours I end up giving up but I’m also bad at dealing with humans but I also get tired of working in a job with no human interaction. I like hairdressing to choose my own hours and the pay and I like accounting for the computer work but not the long hours or pressure during busy season… I just don’t know I’m 21 and want to accomplish something asap to start living and enjoying life

It sounds like you are still exploring your career options and trying to figure out what might be a good fit for you. Here are a few things to consider:

1. Your interests: It's important to choose a career that you are interested in and passionate about. If you enjoy hairdressing and accounting, these may be good career paths to explore further.

2. Your strengths: Consider your strengths and skills, and how they might apply to different career paths. For example, if you are good with numbers and enjoy working with computers, accounting may be a good fit for you.

3. Work-life balance: It's important to find a career that allows you to have a good work-life balance and doesn't cause you to feel burnt out or stressed. Consider the hours and workload of different career paths, and think about what might work best for you.

4. Education and training: Consider the education and training required for different career paths, and whether you are willing and able to invest in the necessary education or training.

5. Job prospects and salary: It's important to consider the job prospects and earning potential of different career paths, and to choose a career that will provide you with the financial stability and security you need.

Ultimately, the decision of which career path to pursue is a personal one, and it's important to take the time to carefully consider your options and choose a path that will allow you to thrive and enjoy your work. It may also be helpful to speak with a career counselor or mentor who can provide guidance and support as you navigate this decision.

I would suggest trying stuff and keeping an open mind, instead of having the mentality that you have to choose ONE career path for life.

Also, you would be surprised what you can accomplish if you just don't quit. in my opinion both acting and modelling are feasible career paths, especially part-time, if you're just not expecting to be an A-list actor or a supermodel.

Both actors and models are needed for lots of jobs, e. g. stock photos, commercials, educational material, etc.

You can get better at anything if you practise, including interacting with people.

Good luck
