At 50 still don't know what I want to be.
I'm nearly 60 and I want to be retired... but it's not going to happen.
Maybe we should identify less with our careers and more with God.
@@Paul-bd7fe I agree. We should be spending more time smiting evil people.
@@GeoFry3 maybe we should identify less with smiting evil people and instead on being ministers of Mercy
@@Paul-bd7fe mercy for evil is smiting
I'm still in high school and this whole concept absolutely boggles me. This video was very grounding for me, like now I have a foundation for my search. Much appreciated!
Do something that will challenge you and push you. Listen to speech by Admiral McRaven
I'm 23 and it still boggles me
I graduated college and have been on a good salary job for just over a year. I would consider myself successes but I’m still boggled. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to have it all figured out or pressured to make any particular choice.
@@Ash-gj2lf I know we shouldn’t “put too much pressure on ourselves” but it’s hard to do that when family and even society does. People are already asking what I plan on doing career-wise. 1. They need to stop being so nosy and questioning so often, I’m just 17 😭 2. how the heck should I know?! Most people don’t even know what they wanna do yet and I keep getting told it can take some time. SO PLEASE GIVE IT (AND ME) TIME!! I feel so rushed and terrified already it’s pathetic :/
Who else is here because they've spent 20 years working and then realized they made a horrible mistake?
why did you choose the work you did?
To pay off my student loans lol
My advice for turning a passion/hobby into a job, is to find a new hobby. You're going to need something new to unwind after work.
So true
Not all of us know what we want to be when we grow up. At 62, I still couldn't tell what I want to be when I grow up. Even going to college, I never could make a 'career' choice. Too many interesting things to learn about. Still learning, still have no 'career', but I know a lot mostly useless stuff!
I'm 34 and making a career change. When I was younger I made the mistake of accepting positions for the money Insted of thinking about how well of a fit it would be. I quit my job after saving to attend college to persue my Interest in the medial field. It's scary and I hope it works out.
Best of luck with the new career path!
It will! 💥
I'm 29 and going through the same thing. It is very scary, somtimes I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. I just keep telling myself "it'll workout"! So don't give up either internet friend! You got this! Don't give up!
Even I'm opting for career change from media sales to content
Yeah but you need money. Having okish job with low pay isn't much great.
I don’t any burning motivation for my career other than getting more money because it’s not the focus of my life. I’m much more interested in getting a girlfriend, having new experiences, exploring new things, getting physically fit, enjoying simple pleasures, and maybe starting a family.
I used to be passionate about history, politics, and geography, but those have largely died.
What do you do now?
@@jaydenlee6573 Sales
Are you a libra? I'm not huge into the zodiac but I am curious. This comment could have been written by me
I'll be 29 when I get my degree next year. I always felt behind because of the stigma of being 18 and finishing college and career in early 20s. Im glad I took it slow and I am currently in a paid internship and absolutely love the work! I seem to have asked myself these questions without realizing it!
Let me guess bachelors
I am 37 and starring a new career, it is never too late
The fact that so many people make/pressure an 18-21 year old, who is trying to still figure out life, to pick a "traditonal" career they'll spend 40+ years working in is completely insane to me. An outdated view of how to make a living that leads to so many problems and unhappiness down the line.
@@hansonel I feel that! Especially with how quickly it pops up in your life. I thought it was ridiculous how they said not to worry about it only to turn around when you're a senior in high school and say, "QUICK! Pick something!" Tbh, I am struggling now with finding a full time job matching my degree choice. It certainly isn't an easy thing to find something that matches well with yourself, but I at least enjoyed my course of study.
Hearing your 29 with your first degree is motivating for people like me
What if you don’t have a passion? I have things I like doing but I don’t feel like I’ve ever found something I’m passionate about
I don't know if I have a passion. I lost most of my youth and a lot of my adult life life depression. And adult life just became about survival, always barely making ends meet and then struggling to take care of myself due to mental and physical illness. I don't know what I enjoy because it's not often that I can afford to do leisurely things. And it has become a cycle because my current job runs me into the ground every day, leaving with hardly enough energy to shower and get to bed. Feeding myself sometimes isn't even an option due to the fatigue. And I have felt like having ASD and ADHD have made it very difficult to fit in, in a workplace. I feel like my current boss actually recognizes that I'm a human being (unlike past jobs for large corporations) and she tries to understand my fatigue and such but she still gets angry at me for just being wired differently and being sensitive to her angry criticism (she's not very good at calmly giving feedback). I feel so stuck and stumped. I want to try to pursue post-secondary education (only ever graduated high school) but I have no idea where to begin! And I have to change jobs to make it happen, because this one zaps me of all of my energy. I've tried asking for guidance on Reddit with little success. I've tried talking to counselors and they just don't seem to know how to help me. I don't know where to turn. I have no quality of life and no work/life balance right now. 😞
I understand the feeling. I'm still searching for something I could call a passion. I feel as though I've wasted a lot of my adult life so far doing administration work that has never made me happy or paid enough to live comfortably. But I've struggled with depression and a lack of motivation as a result and haven't felt like it was possible to make a change. The things I enjoy definitely aren't able to be turned into careers... so I broke out down a bit further. I looked at tiny things within my life that I enjoyed doing, rather than on the large scale. Something I've always enjoyed and been very good at is typing on a keyboard. So now I've just put my best foot forward and I'm jumping in to freelance transcription work with an opportunity to work from home. Fingers crossed it works out. I am also hoping to study computer science through a free online course with the extra time I gain.
I'm not sure I can offer any special advice, but it's definitely possible to make a change. Focus on things you get enjoyment from, even if they don't seem like career paths, think about how they could be related to one. I really like helping my friends out and seeing them smile, which gets me thinking that maybe I'd like to help people, as a counselor or a teacher or something. I can picture myself in those roles and it makes me smile. I can't picture myself smiling in my current career.
Right now I am scraping by on bills so I have to be very careful with how I make the shift in career path seamless financially. It's stressful but will be worth it in the long run.
All I can say is keep going and keep hoping. Look for any opportunity life offers you and jump on it. Investigate alternative jobs that you can get in to now, maybe part time work could be viable, even if you're working one less day a week, it's another day to recover and do what you want to do.
There will be a way forward. It might be difficult to find at the moment, but it's there somewhere.
I hope that things will turn out well for you 🤗
Damn right on the ball
I think you couldn't get what you are passionate about becoz, you spend more of your thinking about your survival and taking care of yourself and others. But do you know that this things you do may be the things you are passionate about when it comes to doing them. So you are the only one in the position to know what you really love doing, maybe it's taking care of people in the future like becoming a doctor or fighting for human rights.... So it's up to you, goodluck to you.
I wanted to be a firefighting astronaut, but NASA turned down my application.
Probably not enough burning rocket fuel on your resume.
Philosophy, cognitive neuroscience, career counseling, and research are the topics I enjoy the most. :D
One question to discover their passion, I've heard, is: At age 8, 9 or 10, what did you race through your homework, skipping some of it, to do? What was more important than your school work at that age? That age is considered important, because often the youngster has all the basic competencies and hasn't selected a focus yet.
.... Playing video games and playing with my toys.
@@frog6054 😅🤣🤣 Although professional gaming is a thing, I think there's something deeper to the question.
@@syebethel
Nah, I don't want to be a professional gamer. I genuinely don't have any passion :(
@@frog6054 same hahahah i was interested in playing with friends and video games
This is terrible advice to most people but it worked for Kim, so she’s going to talk about it like it’s a universal concept.
Thanks for the sincerity buddy, it really helped listening to someone down to earth and real.
My passion is drawing/game design. But the field is highly competitive and with little return. I chose to become a quant at a Hedge Fund to save up some money, maybe one day later in my life I will return to my passion.
I’m 21. Went to community college for a year. Took a year off to try out another career path. Failed. Came back to college with new motivation and got straight A’s. I got into an awesome Tech school. The best in my state. And also received a 75% coverage annual scholarship. The only problem. One year into my junior year and in my tech classes I question whether or not I want to do this the rest of my life. So far, it’s been mostly programming classes. I hope maybe the networking or cybersecurity classes will excite me more. But idk what to do. I feel like I’m losing motivation and starting to fall behind because I’m not as invested as I once was. Idk what the hec I want to do now. I’ve considered medicine and I’ve considered dental school. But I’ve never been a fan of biology or chemistry. Yet, science is a huge hurdle to becoming a Dr. What do I do? Finish my degree? Maybe I find a decent tech job I like. Or wha? Maybe it’s my perspective. I know it could be worse. I feel ungrateful. But I also wish I looked forward to what I’m doing rather then dreading it.
I feel you. I went to school with the intention being a doctor and switch to businessy 3 year of college. I worked in the field for 5?years and realized this ain’t it. When you work doing something you hate, it’s will affect you way more outside of work than you would even know. For that, i feel confident enough to enter back into school and finish my passion. You just gotta be patient and wait to have the right motivation to carry out your dreams
Sounds like you're already in the wrong field. Get at least a diploma/ associates degree in something you can do, and do well, so you can begin making money and feel productive. This will give you financial and time leverage while you discover &/ or go back to school.
It's hard, I know. I have had 3 very successful careers, and returning to school this fall. I may end up in a totally new profession again, but I know I can be successful; I've proven it.
I have multiple passions, but I think they are all 'hobbies', sometimes expensive hobbies. Trying to make the transition out of traditional office/admin work, just not sure where to.
I’m screwed. My passion is reading and writing in my journal. I also like the draw
Maybe engineering or a writer or editor.
@@niggaflies Yes, thank you! I was headed towards social work, already have a bachelor's now trying to pivot!
Manga. Write and draw manga.
@@MJ_Solo Ok, DO you have anything in mind?
@@niggaflies I'm an extreme introvert, and I find working with people with problems all day, for the past several years have left me burnt out. The best I can do now is work overnight shifts at a residence for mental health patients. Was thinking of maybe medical writing. I have to choose carefully for my masters degree I guess.
Very motivating!
I'm a senior in high school and this is so hard :((
It becomes super easy if you ignore eavryone around you and go for what you want
In the same boat right now bro can’t figure it out
How's life now?
Great channel, thank you for very valuable information! Wondering, what are your thoughts on the hiring processes and filters in finding the best candidate for the role? Do you think you get the best one or just the most trained to get thought interview processes? Do you think you miss out a lot on those who are great professionals but don’t have skills of going through hiring process properly?
Excellent video... I am 32. Almost done with college after 6 years and only had a handful of jobs that were all over the place, haven't really "found" my passion though, so I am stuck on step 1. I mean, okay, I do have any idea of what I have loved in the past, but it is historically known to be a starving artist, hustle until you make it, kind of job...in a cutthroat industry, but ironically the environment, I love it. In case you're wondering it's a film set lol. So I'm still all over the place. But I love being a part of the creative process and in a teamwork sort of environment while also being my own boss.
Side note, I do have my own small LLC as a residential cleaner/organizer but it's a means to an end, as well as doing other contracting work.... so the only thing left is to finish my degree in business, and then what??? Either way I digress, thank you for something to think about at least :)
Interesting, you like the film set. Are you currently a PA? My daughter wants to get into that, too. But i mentioned to her it needs to be on the side.
I have the motivation and I was thinking on being a therapist because I like helping people and to have my own book one day but I do want a career that can set me up for life ya know financial wise because I want generational wealth
I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. Still don't know and I am in ny early 40s. I got a job in my early 20s, made it a career that came crashing down during CV-19 so in limbo at the moment
I'm 62 and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. It might help if I grew up......nah.
I just got laid off and found your channel. I can't wait to see the content
Good video and unique topic
Thanks Jennifer!
My passions are athletics (sports) and numerology. My skills are teaching, mediating disputes and motivating people. I am not sure how to combine all of this.
Please make a video on how to advance in your field. For example, I am in customer service. I'd love to be a supervisor, but every time I look at those jobs, they want you to have management and supervisory experience already. Well, how do I get that, if no one will give me a job that offers that experience? I don't have a business degree and am the only worker in my family, so I don't have anyone to tell me how to advance up the corporate ladder.
I'm 35 and still no clue lol all you youngsters Don't worry it works out in the end
I have the oddest predicament. I'm 37 and have been in Human Resources for 15 years, but have never been able to make it to HR Manager, since it's primarily based on who you know, rather than what you know, sadly.
My passion is American History, whether it be Military, Political, etc. Let me preface that by saying that I have no desire to become a teacher in this day and age where kids are only taught on how bad things were, at a given time. Civil War Battlefields, any Museum or Historic Place, have always been places I love to frequent, but at my age & income, can't afford to get a college degree in these areas, just to start at the very bottom somewhere, hence my dilemma. Would be nice if I knew jobs in those areas that paid well and could be fulfilling to either preserve or interpret the history itself, on a full time basis.
College professor or research in a history department. If you are very tech savvy there is a new field called Digital History.
You're awesome man. I'm subscribed. Thanks for the great videos. Watched your video about negotiating salaries several times and watched several of your videos. Gunna watch them all as I find time. Thank you
When I was a kid, me and my friend Cheryl decided that we wanted to be astronauts. We were both twelve years old. At that time, however, NASA had no females in the Space Program.
In the end, I wouldn't have even qualified. I don't even meet the height requirement and, I don't have 20/20 vision.
35 and starting over. What I want to do will cost alot to start so I do need a job just so I can save but it is frustrating cause I just wanna start now. But this video really helped. I have the dream and drive just need to make the funds happen. Thanks
I’m passionate about playing the Native American flute. I’m self taught but I’m not sure what to do with that. I also love taking care of plants
I'm really big into tech so I'd like to go into the tech field. I know there is demand it could be IT or a Technician or network analyst or server admin etc I love learning new things in the tech field Do you think this could be a good idea? I know I'd have to go to college for the degree so I could get the professional training and what not so I have a better chance
Thanks.
I’m a 39 year old English teacher in a Cambridge international school in Central Asia. The truth is I actually hate teaching and children annoy me 😂 I have three major skills: communication, organization and interpersonal. I want to get into the world of HR and maybe be a recruiter/interviewer/ screener. I’m late to the party but if I keep doing this job I hate I’m gonna snap. Somebody help point me in the right direction!!
Bowling, sports, being a weatherman.

I just work a job for 3 months- 1 year and see that I hate dealing with angry customers and abusive bosses so I just find another job. On job 12 now at 23 years old! Yay me
I'm 26 and married, and I'm not sure what is my passion until the present day, it keeps on changing and i easily get bored after trying new things for awhile. I started my career almost 2 years now but I don't think this is the path that i want to excel. How do i find my real passion? As i feel that it is too late for me to keep changing jobs to know what is my passion because i have commitments already. Pls help 😣🙏🏻
I know a few things I'm passionate about, but I feel like to make a career out of it I would need a heavier degree than what I have, or there is no real demand because the fields are saturated with people. Meanwhile, I'm great at my current job, but I don't feel fulfilled. I'm quite stuck.
The question is how long can you continue in the current state
Til I find something new or kill myself I guess... I don't have an answer really, I'll work to provide for my family until I can't. Whether it's a job I love or hate.
@@alifeafterlayofff5371 Well, Iworking on getting a house currently, and just the price for that is at 40,000. I don't have that kind of money right now. But thanks anyway I suppose : /
@SeekerOwl - Please be diligent - there are imposter accounts set up impersonating me. I will never solicit you to buy bitcoin or some other shady deal. I've been reporting these accounts like the comment about contacting me first before talking about money (that is not me). TH-cam really needs to start cracking down on the scammers.
@@ALifeAfterLayoff Yeah, that's initially why I turned it down, it seemed super shady, but the point is still there. Working towards a new house, and on myself as best as I can. Thanks for responding though!
I’m 19 and I like helping people and making people happy . Das it
Social worker, physiologist, fitness instructor
I started my career path out in corporate , just needed the money to survive. I hated being in a call center. I've been laid off twice. Now I'm 41 and work for a small office doing service work. I'm so bored! Now I'm deciding if I should go back to school .
I am 23 and I got into the music industry at a young age. I currently work as an audio visual technician but I do not think I am passionate about what I do. We make amazing events happen yes but it's a male dominated industry, which just isn't fun for me, the work is very labour based which I don't enjoy, I have a nit picky micro managing boss and the pay isn't the greatest. I really love working with plants but I'm not sure if it's a stable to career choice based on the salary. Got any advice?
Actually, I wanted to be either an astronaut or a rocket engineer. Ended up working in aerospace.
My issue is I have more than 1 passion. How do I chose between them?
I wish I didn’t have to be an entrepreneur to pursue my interests. I just want to work for a company and make a paycheck, but all my of interests don’t really have well established companies with employees 😭
I retired from the military and now I have no idea what I REALLY want to do. There's not many jobs in what I did in the military in the civilian world.
What to do when Companies ask you to sign a Bond (can't quit the job until the agreement is over usually 1 year) and as a security for them they ask for a cheque that they will deposit if you leave before that period.
Thanks
In the United States, that is not a common arrangement so I'm afraid I can't say what you should do.
@@ALifeAfterLayoff Thanks for the reply at least, not many people even bother to reply and keep up the good work sir.
Ah, if only it was that easy. I'm 50, doing financial work I don’t enjoy, and my real passion is listening to classical music and writing about it. That's a completely oversaturated space, and to get in there, I would need years of schooling and lots of connections. And even then eking out a living doing that would be next to impossible.
when I was 18 I had no idea what job I was interested in, now I'm 32 and I'm still not interested in any job at all, just thinking that I have to go to work tomorrow makes me sick, I've worked several jobs and the same story with each one interest 0 disinterest max lvl
I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what my passion is. I’m just about to graduate year 12 and don’t know what to do at uni. My whole life so far I’ve been told that I’m smart, that I’m good at maths/science. Then there’s the other side of people who say that I’m caring and should do something that will help people. (I also used to get called creative, but nah). But I find people tend to use the term caring less and less. It’s not that I don’t care, it’s that I have less and less energy and courage to do those things anymore.
I have a lot of empathy, I usually understand where people are coming from , but I have so much trouble communicating with people. Like I’m not that caring friend that everyone goes to when they need support. I’m the awkward one who wants to help, but has so much anxiety/ social anxiety, that all basic communication have gone out the window.
In some ways I think I’m a people person, in soooo many others I think I’m not. I’m not interested in drama at all. Like love island and all those shows are just boring to me. I am however interested in psychology I suppose, as when I just thought of that drama, my mind went towards why humans do that. I don’t know, clearly I’m just having a brain dump.
The only thing I do know is that my anxiety and other mental health problems are clouding my interpretation of my true self and what I want to do. Every time I think of a career, I think of why I wouldn’t be able to do it. For example, I don’t think I could work in a lab because doing experiments at school terrified me due to the potential for doing something wrong, judgement from teacher, wearing weird things etc. I don’t think I could do something with responsibility because I’d just crumble under the pressure. I don’t think I could do a university course where we do practical things with no real direction I suppose like paramedicine/nursing , I’m so afraid Of doing something wrong and being judged etc.
Then I think about all the things I used to enjoy and how so many people are so unhappy and unsure with their lives. I don’t know if everyone thinks how I do. But from my interpretation of the world, no one is truely happy (as an adult). Like I feel as though nothing I do from here on out will compare to that of my childhood. That is a really depressing thought and makes it all seem kinda pointless. For example, I loved theme parks as a kid (still do), but the magic of those kinds of places wears off when you realise that they are a business, money making priorities, all the techniques they use to run the place, how the rides work, the workers who probably hate their job there.
Another example is learning how movies are made, all illusions are gone and it makes it much less exciting and more sad.
The more I learn about something, the more sad I get.
There’s no magic, there’s no spark.
I don’t know. If anyone can make sense of any of what I just said and would like to give me some guidance, that’d be great:))
You may want to consider a private consultation. There’s a lot to unpack here.
Me and you are kinda in the same boat. Or maybe you found something already?
@@jaydenlee6573 nope, I still don’t know😂
As a child I wanted to be a scientist. Later as a teen I wanted to be a marine. In college a psychologist and now that I did army seen some stuff I feel no urge to move forward and I'm more lost than ever

There is a huge emphasis on mental health for peer support specialists. I'm not sure I this is only true in certain areas in the USA.

Can you answer this, how do recruiters, hiring managers and employers view you after being laid off from your previous job?
I wish I've known this back then. I'm already 25 and I don't have a clear path ahead. I am miserable everyday dealing with my dead-end 9 to 5 job. I just want to be a dishwasher or janitor.
I have a bachelor's degree in business and always did tech type work, so now I have no experience in my field and feel like my degree is worthless
did you see the video on how to get a job with no experience?
@@ALifeAfterLayoff no, I'll look for it. Thanks... 😁
Any ideas on what to do if you love studying War History?
TH-cam and blogging.
The world needs plumbers, mechanics, and garbagemen too even if the people that do these jobs are not passionate about it. These jobs are a huge part of our economy. The sexy, high prestige jobs have lots of competition. Many times doing the dirty jobs, as Mike Rowe calls them, is the best route.
Skilled trades can be VERY lucrative.
So true. However, you still need to have passion for those jobs to excel.
@@stevedavenport1202 You find something about your job to feel passionate about even if it's not the job itself. Like working outdoors or the people you work with. No one needs to excel at trash collection but it's a job that needs to be done competently.
@@stevedavenport1202 exactly
My passion is computers, I can build a computer, but I want to code also but I have no knowledge in that literally 0
Can always being the work horse early on be a bad move? Feels like its bit me in the ass everytime. Being too honest has also seemed to be a downfall.
That being said, should you always play work politics?
Can we connect? I’m 24 and struggling to find the right fit, and would love to explain my side of what I like in a job.

I’m beyond lost! I have always wanted to be a doctor but it’s too expensive and it takes toooooooo long to become a doctor so then I decided to be a nurse but they make it so hard and complicated to get into the school, I don’t know what to do I’m almost giving up.
Medical assistant programs at community colleges! Not really expensive.
Jeez. Being a fireman is unrealistic? Come to Kentucky. They’re hiring those ALL. THE. TIME. Straight out of high school. No certifications required. They’ll pay for it and train you under the department for those certifications. My local fire department is always desperate.
What's the pay like for a new entry? I'd love to be a firefighter but here in Aus, you're not likely to break 90+K/year.
Why the fuck would I be a firefighter and risk my life for little, when I could be a land surveyor and hit 100k+ benefits (mobile, car, iPad, etc)? Doesn't make any sense..
@@seventeen9718 You will probably never break 100k a year regardless where you go unless you get into admin as a chief or officer. That’s the case with a lot of gov jobs, especially in public safety and emergency services. The average pay here is 47k but the cost of living here is significantly lower than in Austin. Coming from someone who grew up a fireman’s kid and whose uncle got that high-paying desk job, firemen aren’t running all the time here like they probably would be in Austin. They nap most of the day because that’s just the nature of being in the middle of nowhere. They work 24 on, 48 off and during that 48 off a lot of them get a second job to keep themselves occupied (it’s less about bills than you might think). It’s also rare to find someone who is only a fireman because the department will also pay for training and certifications to be a medic or EMT and then you get quite the pay bump. If you want to be rich, be a land surveyor. If you want to help people, then emergency services is a good option. Neither fire nor police get paid much of anything until you are there for at least 5-10 years. That’s just where the budget is.
@@May-qb3vx Dude.... First, I want to say, I think there is a huge difference in what we see as 100k/y.. 100k AUD is only 70k USD... *FAIRLY* easily achievable here in Australia the with a good career. Matter of perspective in that regard.
Secondly.. wow. Your reply... Thank you. Seriously, a lot of detail and you were quick to reply, totally didn't expect that.. thank you. You and people like yourself commenting are giving me great knowledge for my future and I really do appreciate it. Your perspective gives great understanding.
Wishing you all the best.
@@seventeen9718 I apologize. I misread Aus for Austin. Like Austin, Texas. I read it quickly so I didn’t get that you were talking about Australia. I apologize for that. I have no idea what is livable there so I can’t really speak from the point of comparison. I know we don’t have wildfires here unless something absolutely crazy is happening and I know bushfires are the norm for you all and that they’re getting worse. I’d expect firemen there would get paid more because that does require more of a risk and definitely more training than house fires do.

This guy does not take into account the negative elements of workplaces ex: discrimination, workplace bullying, harassment, low pay, low number of jobs, lack of job security, bad work-life ballance etc. I like this dude but I think this video is a bit ridiculous.
Because this isn’t what this video is about bozo
but i’m too passionate about everything :(
I’m passionate about smoking weed. How do I go about that
You can be a weed grower
From the age of seven all’s wanted to do was be a chef, what a mistake that was…
Chefs have an incredible ability to deal with high work loads/stress - if you can manage being a chef, you can do fucking ANYTHING.
I always wanted to be a chef when I was younger, though I always realised that it was fucking ridiculous stress for the money and thus never pursued it.. if you can deal with that, you can literally deal with anything. I believe in you mate.
Still trying to find my true career.
I like to sleep and relax… this is a side effect of Corporate America treating employees like slaves. “You will own nothing and be happy.”
Is youtuber a legit career path?
It can be but you’d want to supplement it with other income streams.
Careers are a lie. If you last in a workplace for over five years. Chances are your the bosses son. In my area there's only jobs that last about 3-5 years. After that they pack work on you till you can't handle it. Then they rehire so they don't have to give you a raise.
This video disappointed me he said the most obvious things
