Help in finding a future career?

Question

I'm having a very hard time trying to figure out what I would want to do in life. I never thought deciding my future career was important at my age but when I see that my friends and family members already have their future career goals, I felt that I needed to decide what I would want to be in my future ahead. There are so many different types of careers out in the world its so hard to find out what I would want to become. I learned from my parents and other people, a career must be something that I love to do and something I would enjoy working with everyday. And I really love computers, working with math, and fixing things and finding out how it works. Can anyone give me some advices?

The things U say sound like my  hubby. He is a Jack of all trades, master of none. He now has his own business in repairing pcs and all other kinds of hard ware and has become so good in it that a company has hired him as an independent expert and now he is installing internet connections at peoples homes.

I had the same btw. I did personnelmanagement and was completly blasted when I started working in the profession. I absolutly hated it, you have to be such a *****.

Now I will be starting my new job in sep. as webmaster/database coordinator because I love playing around with pc systems.

I am always joking, he is on hardware, I am on the software!!

Good luck with your choice, it will work out in the end. I read once that if you find something that you love to do and are able to make this in to a job, you will eventually excell whatever. Just because you love doing it.

Answer 10

Why won't you look into engineering? Sounds like you will be perfect with computer engineering. With engineering, you will need a strong background in math and physics. Also, if you go to the school counseling center, they offer a career test to see what kind of careers you should look into.
