I’m a college student, and though I won’t graduate for another 3 semesters, the thought of life after college seems… lonely and unstructured. In some ways, it seems like life ends when you’re an adult–in the sense that, for the rest of your life, you’re going to work and not do much else. Of course, that’s not exactly true, but a LOT of working adults have this lifestyle. Their life centers around work, and that’s something you’re going to be doing for decades…so it seems like there’s no more “stages” of life to look forward too.
I kind of like the structured lifestyle that comes with being in education. I feel like I can’t handle all of the freedom that comes with adult/after college life. You’re truly on your own…. and even though I have friends, I feel like everyone just is doing their own thing, and has their own life so it’s difficult to form that stable support group. So many people who have graduated or who are graduating (either seemingly or actually) feel pretty confident with how there life is and the direction it’s going in. It’s like they’ve found their niche in life, have the support they need, and what not. But I feel lost and rather directionless…
For some reason, I feel like my life is going to feel pretty pathetic as an adult in the workforce. Following graduation, I’ll hopefully soon attain a career in less than 6 months, but I don’t know what else I’m going to do with myself… I assume I will be single, or at least not being even close to getting married. This could definitely not be the case, don’t get me wrong, but I assume I’ll be single, getting settled in my career and living with god knows who..hopefully some friends? A serious relationship would provide that stability at least…so I kinda hope I’m not single by that point. It would be nice to have a stable unit (in this case, a husband) to come home to…I feel like I’m going to be lacking stable emotional/social support in adult/workforce life

Or talent? I am 15 living in the UK and I have literally been in tears over what career I am going to have. I know I am still young, but I like to plan ahead. I am planning on going to college to do A-Levels. But where do I go from there? I am a pretty good writer and in my gut I would say I could make a pretty good career out of it (writing screenplays ect.) I am intersected in the world of
showbuisness but recently my heart has been telling me to try acting. Big problem. I am VERY
insecure and shy. And again, I’m 15. And didn’t take drama as a GCSE option or anything! What if I go to an acting class and everyone there is younger and better than me? I feel like my chance has
gone:/ I love to put on a show for my friends and they all love it! I’m just so confused, I want a
clear idea of what I want to do for a career but I just can’t fathom it! If you took the time to read this whole essay of a question, thankyou for your time and answer:)

I am 20 years old and i attended a cal state for 3 years and i was majoring in nursing. Overall i have okay grades, but considering how competitive nursing programs are i don’t think ill be able to get in. I feel that my application would be looked at , but i dont think ill actually get in. I currently applied to this school called “Chamberlain School of Nursing” and they have a 3year Bsn Program and I just found out i got accepted but I am not sure if i should go. I did my research and they are accredited but what bothers me is that they are affiliated with devry and I am not sure if thats where i want to go. I would really appreciate any advice! (I honestly cant see myself pursuing any other career that isnt in the medical field)

Will it be difficult for me later in life if I have such a broad way of looking at life, to the point that I do not specialize in anything? My dream career is to be an artist. I would willingly try any medium; visual, music, literature, video games! But I always thought that to be an artist, you need to have a sincere fascination with the things of the world, and I cannot imagine doing that, if I am not open to any point of view, every walk of life. I would be the type to write about things I’ve never experienced.
But people would tell me, and I am worried myself, that I need to specialize in something or else I wouldn’t really have much value to give to the world. Like if I need to be hired, what would they need in me, that’s so unique or unfounded, to hire me?
Is it really worth it to scale yourself down? I can aim as high as I want and at the same time swear to myself that I would never get disappointed because I realistically accept that it might not come true. I don’t care. I am just happy anyway that THAT is not the only view to life. I guess I can take a day job. I do want to have my own name and be employed based on that. I don’t know. I’m only 16. But in my country, I’m a senior already and going to college next year.
So is it really bad not to specialize in anything? Will I not have a name by not having a niche?

I don’t want to work. I am lazy. But not personally lazy. I am “other people” lazy. In other words, I am lazy when I have to work for other people but work hard for myself such as lifting weights, working out, making money in a job I enjoy, doing something I love.
I also hate running a timetable according to someone else. I dont like being obligated or committed. It is the lifestyle of being free that I love so much. I was tied to a career, a home and relationship and was msierable. I recently was laid off, filed bankrutpcy, and relationship is over. I am free and i love it.
I wish I could stay home and make tons of money. I hate having to be somewhere to make money for someone else only to increase my bank account with a small amount just to pay my bills. I tried starting an internet business so many times and failed. Its all a scam. Anything that is offered to me is a scam. The only way to make money is so find a niche ON YOUR OWN and start from there.
I wish I could do what I want and make my own hours. I love freedom! I need flexible hours. Maybe work two jobs acording my schedule? I actually got layed off from a full time teaching job and now work as a subsitute teacher and love it! I don’t make much money, but I don’t have to work if I don’t want to. I have no boss to answer to, dont have to work that day if I dont want to either. I only make 80 dollars a day, but I love it. No more teacher meetings, no papers to grade, different student faces everyday, if i had a bad day i never have to go back to that school again, and no coaching after school sports. it’s a dream job. Now if I could find another flexible job to supplement my subsitute job.
Again, I will work very hard if it benefits me personally like working out at the gym or writing or doing something i love. But having to start a career and work for someone else give me knots. I love having a flexible lifestyle.
Money is something we all need but im miserable when I have to work hard for someone else in order to make money to survive. That is the part that sucks.
I thought of several careers for fun or easy jobs–but most are low paying–
Flight attendant, actor, writer, subsittute teacher, call center job sitting on your butt, working hotel service jobs. Im much older in my 40’s and im done with the career, home, get rich, have a family lifestyle. I just enjoy being single, free, money in the bank and making my own hours and having fun. That is the best life. Free of chains!
Anyone got ideas for a lazy guy who wants to make a lot of money sitting on my butt and working my own hours?
