I Don't Know What I'm Doing!

When we finish high school, we're pretty much thrown in the world just as lost as when we first started kindergarten. Think about it, as high schoolers, we really have less than 2 years to figure out a career path during our junior/senior year. How did you feel when you were first asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We were asked this as kids, where our mentality was barely functional. We chose careers based off the uniforms. We chose careers based off family members and friends in our close circles that was into that career and made it seem cool. We didn't know any better. You noticed as you grew older that other careers were out there that seemed "interesting". Nothing that Google can't answer though, right? Because why? You don't know what you're doing. Google would tell you the general pros and cons, but without deeper research and time not being on your side, how do you know if you could really see yourself going in that direction?

Let's say you stuck to your guns. You stayed committed to being one of the best in a career field. You took a seat on multiple occasions with a career counselor, because why? You don't know what you're doing. Let's say you finally step foot on campus. You don't know where you're going or where's class. Because why? You don't know what you're doing. You finish college! What now? You still don't know what you're doing. You fill out job applications based off of your degree. Congrats! You land a job. You're nervous, but you know OF your job because of the things you learned in college, so you let your optimism set in. First day on the job and guess what? You still don't know what you're doing.

As bad as it sounds, we are stagnant with knowing what we're doing. We are honestly winging life as time pass. Imagine finally getting to where you are enjoying your career, but it took so long to get there because of your indecisiveness. Time is hard to replenish and life is too short to be lost while trying to find your success level. What you think?
