My problem is that everything sounds interesting 😂. I can’t choose one it’s ridiculous. It goes into a downward spiral of overthinking all the possibilities and what happens if I do one over the other
Same!!!
Try to put them into 3 jobs and go from there. 🙂 That's what I did.
yup
Me neither 🤣🤣🤣
Same omg 😭😭😭
I’m 28 and still lost in life in terms what I want to do. Becoming more and more hopeless and scared with every day that passes by.
Same, you aren't alone. I consider myself an unbelievably talented guitar player and music is my passion but i just can't see a career with it. Maybe i need to sit down, set some goals, and try it. The "trying" it is scary because it can amount to more time wasted. At 28 your'e afraid to make a wrong move because time feels like it's pulling against you.
@@PoundMountainI’m a 30 year old pianist and banjo player and have almost no money. Like you, I can’t figure out how to transform a love of music into money.
Wat are you good at? Choose something were you can use your talents
@@PoundMountain I’m musically inclined myself. There are things you can do to get started in figuring things out. Volunteer to play in different venues, find connections through Facebook, network, create TH-cam videos talking about or instructing on a particular instrument, etc. Do it because you love it and get good and maybe one day you’ll be discovered. That’s what happened to my uncle who is now a multi-millionaire musician anyway. His name is Doug Seegers.
Im 28 in don’t know what to do . I dont have a college degree
I'm 30 and still don't know what to choose. I've had a late start in my life but hope I can figure it out.
You got it man
I am 60 and am still deciding
I’m 31 and am in college but I believe my calling is more specific than what I’m going to school to do. Everyone’s journey is different. As long as you’re taking measurable steps to figure it out, you will definitely crack the code. Sometimes life just pushes you into your calling!
Same, I'm 30 too and I just work odd jobs because I still have literally no clue what to do.
32 here
When you said you didn't waste your life with 2 years of school there must be something you got out of that I actually started to cry because that hit me. I went through 2 different programs and felt like I wasted so much time on it but you're right I did learn some valuable skills and made friends and learned what I didn't want to do. Just found you through this video. Thank you for that moment of clarity.
This one is very important, you learn what you dont want to do :)
Without job it is not good
At the time of this video she was 20 years old. She would be about 22 now. She has a lot to choose from
Me too ! I feel like Ive wasted so much time and would be better if I had done smarter choices. I empathize with you 💯
This is so true, I tell this to my sister too. After 3 years of Chemical Engineering I got academically excluded because on my 4th historical year I was still stuck on some 2nd and 3rd year subjects. And I have never once been mad that I wasted time, because that time I spent in Chemical Engineering really opened up the world to me. I felt way way more confident in my capabilities, I understood better how everything works and the world works. I learned so many valuable skills that I could use in my future career. I don't believe that I wasted time at all, no matter how many people tell me I did.
Very good call! Im 21 and I’m struggling to find my passion too, literally nothing seems interesting
me too am struggling
same sigh
Same for me I’m 18
Just wrote my final exams after a 5 years course and still thinking
rizichim that’s what I’m terrified about! I don’t wanna start something then I’ll hate it!
That could have been me calling in. Thirty years ago I was in the exact same situation. Associates degree, prerequisites, getting into the nursing program, and then realizing it wasn't for me the first time learning in the hospital. My mother was a nurse as well. Never found my passion just continued in my job since I was okay with it and settled with the stability of it all. Years later I'm working for the same company in a better position but now returning to the question of what passions do I have that I can tap into as I transition from work I have to do to work I want to do when I retire. This hit home for me. Good for her to call in! Happy she found a path to follow.
I’m 41 and feel the same way. It seems like I can’t figure out what I want to do, and anything I do want to do seems beyond my grasp.
Same 😢
I love the way he encourages her in every way and helps her to really figure out the whole situation.
Me personally tend to beat myself down that I'm useless in this world and have no talent or passion.
So these kind of videos really help
25 been indecisive but making this sh*t happen now. Don’t want to wish I did 4 years back.
You go sir and don’t stop 🫡🫡
Great video, I'm 58, tried everything I thought of and still haven't found my career, probably never will.
Hi Paul, a career is not a job it is a journey: think about the skills that are common to each job you have done rather than the job title. Think of your resume as a career portfolio rather than a job title. as long as you are working, you will take skills and knowledge to the next job. I am 60 and I am constantly wondering what is my best fit. I just finished 1.5 years of full time postgrad study while working and have decided it was interesting but I probably won’t work in that field but it shows I am open to change, committed to learning and exploring my abilities: employers value that. Something I studied will open a door. I wish I could talk more about this with you but I don’t want to steal Ken’s thunder so why don’t you contact him.
Forget career bro. Ask yourself one question? At the end of every day is there something that would give you inner peace in what you did throughout the day? Work on that 😊.
@@Anonymous-meee most important anf
Most important = inner peace shows right mission
Nursing has SO MANY types of work!!! Emily please try working in another area: Emergency suited me best then ICU. Later I became a lawyer in eDiscovery : same fun with rapid turnover, cram in learning protocols, no leftovers at-end of day!
Hi Ken. I am lost too. Been lost for 15 years being in the workforce. Warehousing/security/deliveries/mining and more i have done. Every few years I lose interest in them and i quit. This cycle has been going for 15 years. Hitting 40 now😢. One thing constant with every job in the past- After a few years in that job----This is not what i wanna do😢.
One thing i do know about myself- i can meet people and talk to them. Not sure where to go... Help . help. I want the remaining years to have meaning and not that i did to earn a living
Depending on what avenue she pursues with kids, that nursing degree could really help. Special needs kids or those with phsical disabilities are likely gonna need more medical attention than their counterparts. It also lays a foundation if she follows any kind of physical or speech therapy with kids.
My biggest issue is I don't know if I am good enough to follow a profession
Same
You can do anything just work hard and focus it's all the same
You just have to suck it up, and give it a try. That's the only way to get your answer
I'm 29 and currently unemployed and never went to college and can't find work..i been working Nothing but warehouse work
It’s pretty obvious what she should do! Good luck young lady, don’t walk away from this call without taking action!
This helped me so much. Thanks Ken.
*crying* this is so helpful, never too late, never wasted any time even though it feels so...
Im freaking 28 from Philippines yet im kind of stuck with my earned degree whether to pursue it or not. But thanks a lot to this show it opened my mind. Talent Passion Mission. Power!
This genuinely helped me so much after years of struggle. Thank you.
What I've seen in people that have made it is that nothing happened to be a waste. Everyone is guided by laws of attraction down the path they need to go down in order to aquire the skills and understanding they WILL use in their life's purpose. Working wth children, it would be a lifesaver to have the skills of a nurse to identify situations and signals in an emergency, especially when dealing wwith children that don't verbally express themselves in a way we would always understand. She might end up saving one of their lives someday. The point is appreciate everything that you do because it CAN be applied in something meaningful in the future.
My advice is choose a career that fits your personality. For example, introverts should look into IT or jobs dealing with numbers instead of people. Work is work. We're never gonna truly enjoy work, so at least find one that fits your personality.
I'm an introvert and horrible with numbers and IT
My least favorite saying ever is "get a job doing something you love and you'll never work a day in your life." There is nothing I love so much that I want to do it 8 hours a day every day. For example, I like fishing, but if I had to mandatorily fish 8 hours a day every day, I would start to hate it very quickly.
Do something you can tolerate for 8+ hours a day that can allow you to do the things you love outside of work
Emily realizes nursing is not her passion and seeks guidance on finding a fulfilling career. Ken Coleman helps her identify that she enjoys working with children and suggests exploring roles like therapy. He advises using career tools to align her talents, passions, and mission for a clear career path.
Great video! Ken Coleman's advice to Emily highlights the importance of aligning your career with your passions and strengths. For anyone feeling stuck, explore various roles and reflect on what genuinely excites you. Using resources like career clarity guides can help you find a fulfilling path. Remember, it's never too late to pivot and pursue meaningful work!
This was a good call.
this video has helped me so much♥ It literally made me cry! Because I have made the same experience.
This is almost my exact situation. Glad I found this. Looking into UX design at a company where I can do some good.
Caller is going to do SO Well if she takes Speech Therapy; the anatomy & physiology coursework she's already familiar with from her nursing program!
This was such a beautiful call.
Great job at pointing her in the direction best for her🤩😊👏
This is great Im going straight to the website
came across this video at a time exactly when I needed to see it!
Same
I am 26, just left a well paying job because I didn't like it. Before that also I left a job because it wasn't interesting me. Now I don't know what to do. Also, I don't want to join back what I did earlier as I didn't like it. Feeling stuck and depressed now. Sitting at home unemployed for the last 5-6 months. Is my life over?😭😭
Emily.A person with same interest as mine.Thank you for clearing my way.
Wow, I relate hard to this woman’s story.
Thanks alot.
Im 22 and in a similar position, im a truck driver only bc my dad does it and I saw his checks but def not a career for me
this guy is great!
going through what this nurse is going through as a dentist :)
Man. I just turned 30. Served in the Army for 8 years (which was my dream). Was a firefighter before I joined. Now my body is broken from a spinal injury I got while in the military. I've been going to college for several years, changing my major, because I have no clue what I want to do and what I'm good at. I'm more hands-on, so trades interest me a lot, but because of my injuries, I can't do anything physically labor-orientated. I feel like I'm wasting my time on a degree I'm not going to use. I'm a year away from graduating with my bachelor's and still have no clue what to do.
Im 28 and struggling hard to find a job I like and will pay me enough to live.
Bro same and I’m 28
I love that this lady thought she didn't have passion, but it sounded like she had a passion she just might have been afraid to go after it. Healthcare is so broad that you can jump pretty easy from one thing to another.
I love my current job, but it doesn't make money. Knowing that there are so many entry-level jobs that make twice what I make makes me doubt my love for what I do.
I consider going and doing the other job for a while, just to teach myself a lesson. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. I know I will miss my job, and I think I need that reminder.
Also, I can make some money to feel comfortable and then settle down into the job that I love that doesn't make a lot.
Man this is a good video.
Not even kidding it feels like this video spoke straight to me 🙈 I feel like me and Emily are the same person haha
I’m 32 and feeling completely lost in life when it comes to jobs/careers!
Me too.
I'm from Shelby NC!!!
With a nursing degree she could become aesthetic laser specialist, work online from home in telemedicine, many roles besides hospital. It seems though that she may be led by guilt instead of even exploring what she really wants to do and she may not have even explored what she is passionate about.
I spent 4 years studying a high school teaching degree but decided in the fourth year of study that it wasn’t for me. Although I liked elements of teaching, I could never get comfortable with the public speaking and my anxiety couldn’t handle it,
I’ve had a few other jobs since but it’s only to get paid and I live for the weekend. I feel like there’s heaps of thing I’m interested in but nothing I want to do for 40 hours a week. I don’t know if my lazy, depressed or just haven’t found my area yet.
I was always someone who never knew what I wanted to do and change my mind constantly constantly, even as a kid.
I’ve thought about this for so long that it’s exhausting. I’ve given up looking for my one thing that’ll make me happy. it doesn’t exist for me.
What is you dig deep inside you, find pains you have gone through nd build from there? making it a career helping people with similar problems at a given point in life?
You’re not alone. I’m in the same boat, except it’s my fourth year teaching and I feel stuck. I always wanted to be a vet, but the pre-reqs, distance from home, time and money turned me away. I also don’t do so well with blood and gore.
Maybe you have adhd
The only things I get flow from are gaming and trying to repair things. But I am terrible at figuring out how to work on and repair things (I never know what tools to use or what materials to use for repairing things) so idk what to do either. I just hate my office job working with numbers and data.
Im 34. No degreee working a call center job. I have nothing that i pass the time wtih or any passion. I need a career asap. Its been a war to keep myself existing..
I’m already in a college, and I’m doing my courses but I still feel doubtful,and unsure of what I’m doing, I feel confused and I fear that what I’m doing won’t bring me result sometimes I get little hope but at times I feel scared and sometimes I just feel depressed and I don’t know why I’m feeling this way please I just need your advice what causes a person to feel that way and how can I know if the career is wrong or right for me.
Im 23 years old and have yet to decide what i want to do with my life, the only 2 things i can think of is electrcian or a dental hygienist
I'm 36 working as scale service technician. I don't know what I am interested in. I don't know what I am good at.
33 here and I’ve been working a warehouse job for almost 9 years I have no degree and I feel stuck I don’t like anything
Her nursing background may end up really helping her in her pursuit of working with kids. Rooting for you Emily the world needs young people like you working with our youth.
“There was no why behind being X other than a paycheque.” That was my main motivation for getting an engineering degree, and yep, now I hate (almost) everything about engineering. 4:10
At least you have money. I hate my job and I get paid almost nothing
I’m a nurse day to day sucks physically. But I need stable income as I have a mortgage and a kid and no one I can turn to if I miss a months pay check. It’s okay at age 22 to be ambivalent but reality is it’s not the same for everybody.
What about 25 without a degree ?
Sweetheart you’re 20. Look at me 38 and still trying to figure it out.
I cried when Ken told her most people dont have the courage to quit a job like nursing. I am 28, working as a custodian at an elementary school, yet I am set to start an RN nursing program in 4 months. It’s a two year program and honestly I dont want to do that! I aced all my prereqs and applied because of family and personal pressures…i lost my beautiful girlfriend along the way and have abused substance. I dont want to do nursing anymore than i want to be a janitor. I’m thinking school counselor at this point but thinking about quitting that nursing program that i know so many people would kill to be in is so daunting.
im 32 and im where emily is right now. lol im still searching. i also walked away from nursing in my 20s.
Damn its the first time i see a video of ken coleman or this podcast/channel. It seems really good! I just realised that I want to to work around educated( maybe graduated people)
I'd love to know where Emily is today and what she decided to do ❤
I am 26 years old. I do not know what to choose. I love art, but i am good in maths, and since mostly i love maths. Please help me to choose my career
Emily, just stick out nursing for the paycheck. I’m 32 and struggled with this same thing probably forever. You probably wont ever figure out a career you love so just get paid well so you can afford the things you love to do. I never figured it out, and now I work 60 hours a week, live at home, have no girlfriend or friends anymore and still can’t afford anything.
😂 The pay for what nurses do is not great. It is physically and mentally demanding and draining.
@@karawaller9772 I think 30-40 bucks an hour starting off with a 2 year degree is pretty fair. No one is saying nurses don’t deal with a ton of “crap” but every profession has draining and demanding aspects. The only difference is nurses can actually live off of their salary. Go do something else that’s less stressful and see how enjoyable it is to live off of 16 bucks an hour lol.
@@lighter86AJH it's stressful asf to live of 15-18. I can't do shit i wanna do in life
@@lighter86AJHi feel this. 16 bucks an hour texas working construction is shit. Im going to school for compsci. I still dont know what i wanna do, but for sure it aint this
@lighter is correct
I'm 30, soon to be 31. I've been in my current job for more than 4 years. Unfortunately, there aren't any career advancement opportunities where I am. I'm stuck at the bottom. I don't know what else I want to do for a job. I don't qualify for anything. I have no real marketable skills.
Go for the money
"I want to be an artist and have an amazing life."
My death anxiety: Hey.
art is a passion not always a break through try something unique and it could turn out great ❣💕
Some of us would just be glad to have a job to pay the bills
Well I'm 46 and still don't know what I want to do or that I would be good at. It sucks and I'm stuck
Go for the money
What would she be doing now 🤔🤔🤔
What is your career advice for people close to their 40s? What if you reached that age and you still dont know what is your 'thing'? Is it too late?
It’s never too late. Same as you’re never too old to be homeless
I have an old friend in Shelby. Wonder how Emily is doing today?
Me personally I want to make good money but enjoy my job at the same time
And what if your passion doesn't pay the bills?
Than see if there’s ways you can monetize to make more money through or have side hustles to supplement your income
Combine it with a high value skill like content creation to get your work out there
Dont complicate education. Theyre all profit companies. Just pick one thing that has demand. Example being engineeering, accounting, a trade
And know which specific job you can get after yoire done and build those skills. Keep it short. Example choose 2 jobs max you can build your skills with. Be focused and have depth. Example for trades pick plumbing, heavy duty mechanic, truck driving more laid back, equipment operating, engineering. You get it. Dont complicate things. And save, and invest the rest, and build.up. and build a company on the side if you can and want but dont think this is easy its not. So take that in mind. So if youre young. Have direction at a young age. Choose a program, know what job you can get when youre done focused, save and invest. And dont waste your money. Dont think mbas are valuable theyre not. Unless you go to a top uni and have a netwrok connection beforehand. If u dont youd be wastine your time. If choosing a masters pick something narrow like structureal engineering, data analysis, construction management. Something technical.
so who else is looking for their passion and wants to join a gc
I’m passionate about sleeping in.. eating takeout and watching random TH-cam content.
I get what this guy is saying, but what he’s not telling her is that even when you pick something that you feel passionate about it still won’t be very exciting on a daily basis because in the corporate business world you will be expected to do that task that you’re “passionate” about at usually an unreasonable productivity level that eventually becomes miserable. For example, many mechanics love all things cars and enjoy working on cars, but get a job at a local dealership and see how fast they likely push you to get so many cars fixed and done in a certain time frame. I’m not saying it’s wrong to work at a steady pace, but many times nowadays they put the work of 3 people on the shoulders of 1 person. That line of work you said you enjoyed eventually becomes exhausting everyday because of the stress of productivity and the company that’s only concern is that bottom dollar made at end of year.
Hey I'm from india I'm 23 years, I'm very confused in my life I don't know what to in my life!

@@yuvraj4885 yeah I'm on the way, I'll get it soon.

Some people just aren’t built for work. I could be wrong, but every job sucks. Ask a surgeon, nurse, paramedic, electrician. They’d all rather not be working. That’s why she quit, she doesn’t like work. No one does. The only people I think that like work are entertainers
bro im 27 and i hate my job lmfaooooooooo
Is becoming a professional at sleeping and watching videos a viable way to make money?
She should consider being a pediatric nurse.
