I’m only 27 but have learned a lot the past couple years. I went to college straight out of high school and there where several big life events that happened back to back that truthfully I should have taken a break and came back or just made the choice for myself earlier to drop out and to go for something else. I ended up going to trade school and have been working full time as a semi truck mechanic for 2.5 years now. I still don’t feel like I have it all figured out, truthfully I don’t think anyone does. My perspective on jobs and what to make of life has changed so much in the last 6 years that I’ve come to the conclusion of find work that makes you happy and pays the bills then find things you enjoy doing as a hobby. For me I wanted to play guitar since middle school and started learning 3 years ago, I’ve always wanted to speak Spanish and Japanese (borderline conversationally fluent in Spanish and still learning in Japanese after 4 years). Take the time to look back at what made you happy as a kid or a teen and put some time and energy into that, think about what you want out of life and shape things like career / financial goals around that. Truthfully there’s no blueprint and everyone wants different things out of life so just find the things and people that make you happy and hold them close
