How long did it take you to figure out what you wanted to do with your life?

I haven't yet. It's a constant thought and honestly quite annoying because I know have the mindset to do something great, I just haven't figured out what it is yet. Think I'm getting closer to finding out.

Whatever it is better put me in position to travel and take care of my family :birdman:

Well I'm 23 and pretty much every day right now is me trying to figure things out.

Been looking for a job for over a year and still haven't been hired. I already know I'm behind because the people I graduated with would have been making over 6 figures for around 2 years now.

Idk, pretty much actively wasting my youth at this point because broke college graduate :unimpressed:

I feel you but I can’t really go back to college without going into massive debt for the rest of my life.

Financial aid only lasts 4 years.

Financial freedom, making money. I spent a lot of my time trying to do the startup route in college.

My GPA wasn’t bad, but not competitive for grad schools.

I'm 41 and I still don't know; at this point, it has easier for me to identify what I don't want to do instead.

what is exactly that you're trying to pursue? for most things, there's usually a path that's already been laid out in order for you to achieve your goal
Acting. I'm already in the industry behind the camera, but I want to go full tilt next year.

To me I'm not fond of the question.
What I wanted to do when I was 20 is different from when 30 it'll be different maybe every 7-10 years.

I'm pretty successful now, and what I want to do changes every 7-10 years.

Put it this way, suppose you have aspirations, you succeed in meeting them..... then what, that's it?
Once I meet my aspirations I make new ones.

Spent my early 20s traveling the world and trynna find my way...met many good ppl. eventually decided on something in my late 20s and stuck with it. I liked many things but could never choose which to stick with. I'd try something for a few months then switch to something else. MY friend told me to choose an industry and with that, I'd be able to move within that industry (management, supervisor, etc.). That advice helped a lot. I researched jobs and industry growth and the salaries associated with the fields. I ended up going into tech--great decision.

Travelling and being abroad was one o the best decisions because I was around different cultures and ppl. otherwise i would've been surrounded by a bunch of hood folks livin their lives on repeat.
