Reply To: I don’t know what to do with my life

I think going to speak to your school counselor is a great idea. I always thought your life’s career had to be your one great passion, but I don’t think that’s true.
I honestly wish I’d gone to school for something I was really good at, and went on a career path of what I was good at vs. what I was passionate about. Maybe it’s not a bad idea to keep going with languages if that’s what you excel at? I have no idea.

I don’t know. It’s a hard choice and it feels like your whole future hinges on it. It doesn’t. It shouldn’t. A lot of people I know don’t even work in the field they have degrees in. I would reach out to your teachers, family, maybe people in careers you might be able to see yourself in. It’s hard to know what you want at 19. You are not unusual, and you don’t have to have it all figured out right now.

I do wish you luck.
