I Just Graduated and I Don’t Know What I Want to Do.
Who cares? Just get started. Pick an area you think you might enjoy and just start chasing that down. Talk to people who work in areas you think you might like. Read books. Get on the web. Do anything and everything you can to start identifying jobs, careers, and places you might like to work. Chances are you will find something. Only about 2% of all adults that don’t have work can’t find a job, and I am thinking they don’t want to fi nd one anyway. Why do you think your entire life has to be planned out so meticulously? Like Steve Jobs says at Apple “life is a journey.”
Just do the best you can, learn as much as you can along the way, and don’t repeat mistakes. But make plenty of them, mistakes like expecting someone else to figure out what you want to do. I wanted to play baseball for the Yankees.
