Lost

[Fall1224]

I feel so lost & confused! I feel like I need to have everything figured out about my life, especially my career. I feel like I’m not particularly good at or passionate about something. What is my purpose? What is my true career calling? I feel like a failure in away because I got my college degree but don’t use it! I feel like a waste.

You’re asking yourself all the right questions and you seem to be on the right path. I always say that you should dabble in classes that interest you and try process of elimination to see what pulls you in. You’re definitely no failure! Don’t be so hard on yourself! Be proud you finished and got your degree! These things take time for everyone, you’re not alone in this experience. But your true calling WILL reveal itself to you when it’s time. For now, don’t let the stress of tomorrow ruin your today. Take a deep breath, start writing down some things that interest you. Pros and cons of different career paths. Things you already excel at. The dots will eventually connect themselves!
