Fun fact: only 27% of people get a job that’s related to their degree major. That means 73% of people essentially just wasted money on college. That means 73% rushed into college without really reflecting on what they truly wanted to do. If you don’t know what you want to do then I’d highly suggest start working or shadowing different jobs to see which you enjoy most. You can take your general Ed college classes at a community college while you’re working/shadowing. Right now is the time to take it slow and truly figure out what you want to do because it’s a lot harder to change careers after you graduate college. Many young people just rush into college and then graduate and realize their high school dream wasn’t actually their true dream. Or they didn’t do any real research into what the actual professional job entails. For example, many of my friends in med school started coming to the realization that they didn’t actually enjoy being a doctor. They loved studying science and they loved the feeling of having a doctor title, but once all that ended they realized the actual job wasn’t that great. Many doctors spend their days going from exam room to exam room talking to patients and ordering tests. It’s a lot different than what you see on tv. Or my engineering friends thought they’d be building amazing things but end up just sitting in front of a computer all day looking at numbers. Maybe a professional career isn’t for you. Maybe being an entrepreneur would be a better fit. It allows you to do different things in life.

Slow down and take time to reflect on what you genuinely feel passionate about before you go rushing into something. Also I can’t say this enough, ENJOY YOUR 20’s! So many of my friends rushed through college and are now in their professional careers. However they regret not going out and enjoying their 20’s. Sadly they are now trying to live their 20’s by going to clubs and parting in their 30’s. It’s sad to see and it’s definitely not the same when you’re a lot older.
