Where do I start? Career choices

Hi everyone,

You may have seen my recent tweet:

Now this basically all boils down to a career path. I'm 21, I know it's young but I just feel stuck. I feel it's too late for me to change career now. Really it's not, but I feel everything is very limited or that everything costs so much money.

In the UK you leave school at 16 and then go on to college or to do something like an apprenticeships. Now this basically all boils down to a career path. I'm 21, I know it's young but I just feel stuck. I feel it's too late for me to change career now. Really it's not, but I feel everything is very limited or that everything costs so much money if you are an adult learner.

My problem is how do I get there?

How do I achieve what I want to set out to do?

I have 3 dream careers. The first is to be a receptionist or work in some kind of office. Sounds simple. My Mum is an administrator, I love what she does and I could just imagine myself doing her job. I don't know why I just don't apply and see what happens.

The second is a career choice I have had since I was a young girl, to be a makeup artist. It's obvious I love makeup and have an unhealthy obsession with it. I would love to be able to do the whole package, hair, makeup and nails. It would be a dream come true.

The last is a dream that is highly unlikely. This is to become a full time blogger. I'd love to be able to blog and look after Darcie. It would be wonderful.

I think it's so hard to choose a career now. There's so much out there. So many doors to open. So many different paths to choose, but how? How at 16 can you truly determine what you would like to do. I know it is never really too late, but sometimes it just feels it. Even now there's so much to do and there is so little time.

I feel there has to be a job I am made for, but what is it? Does anyone else ever feel like this?

If you could choose your dream career what would it be?

    Yes, yes, yes. Such a relatable post. I'm 20 (almost 21) & I feel so confused too. I'm currently studying but don't know what I actually want to be? I'm just pursuing what I enjoy for now and I'll see where the wind takes me <3

    I would go with the make up artist as that seems to be what you're passionate about and the fact you've loved it your whole life. But that's just my opinion. Everything will work out, don't worry. Things always fall into place. I've always wanted to be a novelist but I'm going into marketing to fund this.

    I'm 25 and I still don't know what the hell am I doing with my life. I'm considering a career change but I don't even know if it's gonna be worth it nor do I know how to begin it.

    I'm 25, and I'm on my 4th degree (completed 3) and I struggle with what I'm going to do everyday, so I could really relate to this post. I hope you find your way Tasha!

    Never name your dreams unrealistic! I always dreamt of being a full time writer and that's exactly what I am now!

    You never know what is around the corner and I am a big believer in fate. I studied at University for my dream role to find out it wasn't what I wanted and am now in another career heading in another direction. I am mid 20s and still looking for my dream job!

    This is so relatable. My dream job would be something that involves working from home, blogging and helping others, whilst also working with kids and younger people. No idea how to combine them though!
