How'd you guys (and Lucy) decide what you wanted to do with your life career-wise? A good amount of you have already finished college and have careers, and I'm pretty sure an equal amount of you are finishing up college and have a pretty good idea of what you're going to do.
When did you decide? How did you decide? How long did you go through college having no clue what you were going to do, or did you go to college with a set plan already in mind...?
I don't know. I feel like I have absolutely no idea what I really want to do and I'm kind of worried that I'll never find anything I could see myself doing for the rest of my life.
I think this is a question worth its own thread
But anyway, I finished my degree 2 years ago, and I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.
I applied to 6 different universities, and a different subject in each... I failed the Cambridge interview, so I ended up going to Imperial (which meant I studied Physics). Three years later, armed with a solid degree from what was now the 5th best university in the world dubious, I went job-hunting. I applied for a bunch of different jobs, mostly "to do with numbers". It took 6 months of interviews before I perfected my BS-ing technique and finally landed a job. It was a computery statisticy type job, where I used databases and spreadsheets to analyse how effectively the company was winning new customers. I got bored of this quite quickly, so I got a new job - again, computery statisticy in nature. I'm now bored of this job.
I really don't know what I want to do. But at least at the moment I'm overpaid and underemployed, rather than the other way around. I always thought I wanted a job where I was paid to sit around on the internet all day. But I've had TWO of those jobs, and I am bored of both.
How old are you?
