I'm 24 and still don't know what to do with my life. Is that ok?
Completely okay…I've received a message on whatsapp which is worth sharing..‘This one made a lot of sense to me...New York is 3 hours ahead of California but it does not mean that California is slow, or that New York is fast. Both are working based on their own "Time Zone."Some one is still single. Someone got married and 'waited' 10 years before having a child. There is another who had a baby within a year of marriage.Someone graduated at the age of 22, yet waited 5 years before securing a good job; and there is another who graduated at 27 and secured employment immediately !Someone became CEO at 25 and died at 50 while another became a CEO at 50 and lived to 90 years.Everyone works based on their 'Time Zone',People can have things worked out only according to their pace.Work in your “time zone”.Your Colleagues, friends, younger ones might "seem" to go ahead of you.May be some might "seem" behind you.Everyone is in this world running their own race on their own lane in their own time. God has a different plan for everybody. Time is the difference.*Obama retires at 55 BUT Trump Starts at 70*Don't envy them or mock them, it's their 'Time Zone.'You are in yours!Hold on, be strong, and stay true to yourself. All things shall work together for your good.You’re not late … You are not early ... you’re very much On time!stay blessed.You Are In Your Time Zone....’So don't get depressed or anything like that, just be open to learn new things, and stay positive.. All the best \U0001f44d\U0001f3fb
I'm 24 and don't know what to do with my life. Why does every career track make me feel ill?
A BA in Psych is pretty useless. You can easily punt by going for your Masters in something and that will give you two more years to figure it out. But if not then you have lots of radical choices but of course you can’t control your own destiny unless you have some kind of financial means to do it. I am assuming you have to earn that. And eventually you MUST have a goal. Without a goal or purpose you will always feel anxious but with it you will feel directed and driven. Seek that goal.1) Join the Armed Forces. It’s a real shake-up to your life. They will take you out of your comfort zone, send you around the world, teach you how to be a man/woman, you will make friends and have cool experiences. And they will give you PURPOSE, which is important. If you’re really lazy, join the Air Force and complain when the Cable TV goes out.2) Join the Civil Service. With your degree many doors will be open to you if you become a police officer3) Get your Masters and become a counselor, it’s your own business, you make your own hours and you have freedom to control your success4) With your training and background you could become a real estate agent and sell houses. After three years you can become a broker, then a developer. You’re your own boss, work the hours you like and your success is entirely up to you. You can get wealthy or you can wallow.5) Go into the Trades; join the Union, become a plumber or electrician. The money is great but it takes a couple of years to complete6) Travel. If there’s nothing you can do, then do nothing. Go for budget travel somewhere to find yourself and think about what you want. If you make a goal you can achieve it; if you have no goal, any road will take you there — nowhere.Entering the “real world” is hard and scary but you have to do it. If you aren’t scared you aren’t trying hard enough. You have to move beyond your comfort zone to make progress in life. Being afraid isn’t a sin — standing dead in the water is. Bravery, courage, self-confidence are nothing more than believing in yourself. People will less skill, smarts, advantages than you have succeeded so there is no reason why you cannot do it too. Remember the words of von Goethe, the longest sentence in the world made up of the shortest words: “If it is to be, it is up to me.”. Now get out there and go for it.
I'm 24, and I don't know what I want to be in life. How do I choose?
I'm 24 and feeling I should know what I want to be in life. There's plenty of people my age who are beginning their lifelong careers, and I think I should be joining them. I'm a department manager with a retailer right now, and I've finished two years of school for business management. I'm thinking I'll probably go into higher level management, like store management and beyond. I don't know if its what I really want, though, or if I'm just doing it because its the "easy" path for me to go, since I'm already on it. I want a job that can be rewarding, something I'm happy to say I do. I just don't know what kind of career to choose. How do I know what kind of career to pursue? How did you ever choose to pursue your own career, if you have one?
I'm 24 and don't know what to do with my life. What's wrong with me?
I know that older posters will probably laugh or scoff at this, but since my 24th birthday last month, I've been suffering an age crisis. It seems that most of my cohorts already have great careers. Girls from my graduating class found positionss in places like the Supreme Court, right out of college! In every magazine or newspaper, I keep reading about twenty something celebrities, fashion designers, and academics. Most of these people also have nice houses, loving marriages, and kids. I don't have any of these things. At 22, I went to grad school to become an English professor, but I discovered that I hate teaching. Now I'm gritting my teeth to finish my master's, and living in a crappy apartment. I have no idea what career path to pursue when I get out. For every job I think I'd like, I don't have enough experience. I feel so old to have accomplished so little. Since I was an above average student in elementary and high school, teachers and family members praised me for my intelligence. This might have given me an overinflated sense of self-esteem. I thought I'd write an NY Times bestseller by my late 20's, own a beautiful house, and be married to a wonderful husband (preferably a professor), but I'm nowhere close to realizing any of these goals. I am almost ready to give up all hope of ever achieving anything special. Is something wrong with me because I haven't found my dream job or my soul mate at the ripe old age of 24?
I’m 24. I don’t know what I like to do in my life. I’ve been miserable for so long that I don’t know what makes me happy anymore. How do I figure this out so that I can find what I like to do and then make a career out of it?
I cannot tell you want to do, but I can give you my take on the situation from experience.If you make your hobby your work, it takes some of the fun out of it, no matter what it is.Go with the flow. It is no use fighting against change, watch for trends and try to predict the growing needs. Where there is a need there is always work.There are two types of work. One is where you simply exchange your time for money. The other type of work continues to generate income even when you stop working. This can be affiliate marketing, shares, publishing a book, selling photographs, a buy to let property. Anything that continues to make money whilst you aren’t physically working, so you can gain time to work or relax more.Ensure you eat well, I mean not get fat, eat proper fresh food. Depression often comes from low levels of serotonin, B vitamins, and magnesium. So eat a healty diet and get out into nature more.Money pays the bills, but it does not make you happy. Help someone else for no gain. See if making the World a better place, makes you feel great, it works for me.I’m in my late 40s and still don’t know what I want to do. But I’ve had a lot of fun getting here!
I'm 24 and I haven't done anything with my life, I don't even know how to start over. What should I do?
You must have done something at 24, it might not be considered as life-achievement to your own perspective/standard but there must be something. Having high standard for oneself goes both ways. I have that feeling everyday, especially after doing sth that makes me frustrated and question every recent decisons that I made. It did indeed help me reflect on my choices and improve my decision making, but on somedays if I'm not strong enough, this thinking can lead to negative thoughts and harsh decisions.You're thinking of improve in your life, that's already a good start. Starting over is one of the option, and you're asking for it, so let's get on with it, in a thorought manner:1. Before starting over, consider a bit a about Why, or in this case, what exactly that you've wanted to do with your life. And by a little, I mean it. These stuffs can't never be as clear as day, think for a while, pick a few things and continue. It will change in the journey, so let's not dwell in this process.2. Knowing what you're trying to achieve can also help you see what is stopping you, it is your current job, some bad habits, life style, or some people? Now you should have a list of What to start over! Yes! The process should be selective. Keep the good things with you in your new journey. Before "starting to start over", sort the list by the issue's scale3. Finally you can start to start over \U0001f609 Pick a easiest, smallest item on your list and fix it. For me it was the constant use of facebook during work hours. It gave me a good start because you can realize the result quickly. Continue with the bigger one, and the bigger one, and soon you'll realize that starting over is pretty much changing your own habits one by one. No biggie. It's hard, but no biggie, because we have a purpose.Good luck with your new journey!
