One of the main reasons why I am anxious and depressed most of the time is because I don't know what I want to do in life. I worry about making money, being able to provide for a family, and things like that. Basically, your typical anticipatory anxiety. But, back to a career, I almost feel like I've wasted the last 2.5 years at college. I don't like my current major (business management) at all and nothing else really seems appealing. I just turned 21 and, with that, comes the new pressure to be an adult and contribute to society (you know, all that stuff). I know there are a few things I love.
1. humor
2. sports
3. communicationWhen I used to take career surveys in high school, I scored high in communications careers. I'm good with theories, abstract ideas, and things like that. That's actually what I think I should do. For example, I have a lot of interest in being a sports talk radio show host. I did this at my college radio station for a few months and really enjoyed it. I felt alive for one of the few times in my life. It was a rush and I loved every minute of it. So that might be something I'd like to do but I guess I still worry about not making enough money, not being good enough, etc. It's just a lot of self-doubt and confusion.
Did you guys know what you wanted to do when you were 21? If you had inclinations, did you actually follow your heart or just settle for something else?
