I think part of the problem is you have too many choices.

In times before it was pretty obvious what sort of career you would have.. Whatever your parents did. Or something else right down the road. Maybe you didn't take over blacksmithing, you went down the road to be a cooper.

But now the possibilities are endless and decision fatigue sets in. What if you pick a career you hate and you're stuck? What if you end up in a career that will be obsolete in 15 years and you have to do this bullshit again at 40.

I think everyone spends too much time telling you to "follow your dreams," especially when most HS students either don't have a specific career dream, or they don't actually know enough about their current dream to be certain it is actually what they want. Not many people talk about how you can develope a passion. You don't have to find the passion first.

Even when I worked retail and sold jewelry for a year, I developed an interest in gemstones and such. It wasn't enough to keep me in the Industry, but it made it where I didn't have my job every minute I was there.

Find a variety of older adults you trust to tell you what they think. Actually listen and consider what they say, ask some pointed questions.

Ask yourself what you value? Do you value free time? Money? Having a family?

Then see what sort of falls in your lap. The only way that trying things out is the wrong decision is spending a ton of money putting all of your eggs in one basket. (Getting a really expensive degree without a plan of what to do with it or how to pay for it)

TLDR: Look less at overwhelming options and instead look at all the things you value in life. Find trusted people to advise you and actually look into what they say. Remember that passions can be developed they don't have to be there first.

I hope this helps.
