Question: WHY can't I decide on a career!!!!? -may be long-?
I'M having SERIOUS issues deciding on what kind of career I want to do! I keep getting discouraged, either it's cause I'd have to work 5 jobs in order to do something like art, writing, etc. or there are just so many negatives...
Idk anymore! I have always had trouble deciding on ONE thing, I can't do it. Even at a diner when I'm ordering food, I can't decide quickly, everyone has to give me an hour heads up for me to decide before we go out.
I went from Fashion designer, Interior designer, landscape designer, wedding planner, artist, writer, screenplay writer, archaeologist, etc etc
I don't know what to do anymore D: I'm not in college as of right now because I am not wasting anymore money just to ponder on what the hell I'm going to do. Sometimes I'll finally decide and go YAY and then I read a negative about it or think too much on it...bam I'm back to the black board. I don't know why I do this...but because of this I'm going to probably end up being a bum that lives at home until she's an old geezer. My friends already know what to do, and I'm stuck. I can't imagine myself to dedicate my life to any of those things I listed...idk =/
This is what I've been thinking for a while...
I love studying history, ancient egypt, greece, japan, etc., their cultures are interesting. But then I fall asleep when it gets to the wars and such and the career options are not too...wide for this. Archaeology is lowly paid and I'd end up having to teach at a college in order to get proper pay, plus it's competitive. I'm no good at standing in front of a classroom and teaching people.
I love art, I like to draw 1920's-30's people; they are interesting. But then if I did this, I'd probably end up having to work 4 other jobs and waste money advertising my work and only getting a few bucks from this.
I considered design stuff, but those don't really strike my interest entirely, it's plain to me and my friends tell me they see me doing wedding planning, but then another person said Why do you want to do it? And I hesitated...so that means that I didn't really want to do that...
THEN it's writing, I love tot write and I want to write a book and maybe one day it'll get noticed. BUT, I'd end up doing the same thing as I would with the art thing; several jobs and this would be basically a hobby.
I don't know what to do D: I know I sound negative, and yes I am negative but I look into the details that I feel may come up later if I choose one of those, NOW, so I don't feel like I'm regretting that choice.
I really need help...I feel like someone needs to just go and tell me what I should do now, it's gotten that bad =/
Answer:
I'm the same I think too much inside my head and worry.
There's so many things I want to do but don't know where to start
Or what to choose.
I'm also really negative :( and don't believe in myself as much as I should.
Just try everything you enjoy don't think too much about the pay,
You only live once so enjoy it!
You sound like someone that thinks inside there head too much. But from what I gathered you seem to be pretty interested in something of the creative field so I would say go for that like being a designer of some sort. Or maybe even a veteranarian if you love animals. Also I don't know if this is a little out of your realm but have you ever considered psychology, sociology, or being a social worker? There's all kinds of opportunities in those fields and from what I hear sociology is about the study of how humans interact and behave in society. A little similar to psychology but if you like helping people you can be a social worker for youths or a counseler. There's all kinds of opportunties but at the end of the day it should be what you enjoy regardless whether it pays well or not. Also check out this website for jobs based on personality types. It will help.
