Hi there,
Well I'm not here to give advise, I'm just going to tell you what is happening to me and I think at 27 im probably a little older than you! My scenario is very similar to your situation. I did a degree in england doing marine biology and needless to say this would be an extremely specific are and very, very few jobs in this field. Over the years after my degree I put 110% into getting experience through voluntary jobs and anything remotely in my area whilst doing cooking in restaraunts and anyother jobs that would come up. Trying to find my niche in life!
I would often get very furstrated by working in dead end jobs and other jobs which I hated intensely. However, When I became at 26, all 120 students that did a degree in marine biology, had given up their dreams to follow alternative areas in work. Instantly I found a job as a fisheries officer and have been on a road that is going in the right direction!
At 27 although I only get employment as a fishery officer for 8 months of the year, this jan I got a job teaching blind people how to cook. This only would have happened if I had done the jobs that I hated and followed my dreams. It is a great job and very rewarding and think that I will follow my heart more often in the future.
I have chosen to go travelling for the next three months to release my mind of stesses and give me a break from this commercial world we live in. Through councelling and purley self development, I have found that if I had not done these jobs and wasn't a positive person. I would be in a totally diff future instead and wouldn't have followed what I thought what was right for me.
Most people would say that you only know what you want to do when you are around 30. For me, I think I'm only beginning to discover what I really, really want to do!
Life is short and wish you the best!  |
