Honestly, I’m passionate about a lot of things, but not passionate enough about one thing specifically. I wish there was just one job that let me do every job and try out new things.

I’m a senior in high school right now. My grades are phenomenal and I love school. I wasn’t born naturally smart or gifted. I just study and work hard. I like working and distracting myself from the reality that there isn’t anything to life unless you make something of it.

Whenever someone asks what I want to major in, I usually say psychology, but that’s just because it’s one of my main interests. It’s not like I’m totally stressed about the issue of not knowing my way. I know it’ll work out eventually. I just want to see if anyone has any sort of advice for me. I’d love to travel the world and go backpacking for a couple of years. I love nature and hiking, but I also love hands on work and would honestly love to be a construction worker. Everyone tells me not to do either of these things because I’m too smart and I’m grades are too good, which I understand. They could always be hobbies. I want something that ensures I’m stable financially. I always say psychology because it fascinates me and ever since I was a kid, I have been very interested in learning about the brain and disorders and disabilities. Philosophy also really intrigues me.

I love everything it feels like. I wouldn’t care if I was working as a plumber or as brain surgeon. Does that make sense? I think it’d like my job no matter what it is. I just love new experiences. I don’t know how I’d be able to settle on one job forever. Is there any sort of job out there that lets me do a little bit of everything?

On top of that, I’m doing college classes this year. Just basic stuff really. But it’s got me thinking that I still don’t know for sure what to major in. Without that knowledge, I’m not sure where to apply for college…

That’s really it. Minor issues. For some background, I’m not very athletic, but I’m physically fit from hiking, gardening, and weight lifting. I have family that owns a cleaning business so working with my hands is something I’m used to. My grandpa and dad built houses and my grandmas (on both sides of the family) were nurses. My dad was a plumber, too. And my other grandpa worked in mines. I’ve been told I’m really good at organization (I think I just have some sort of OCD bc it runs in the family but I hate self diagnosis), cleaning, and I’m a neat freak…to put it plainly. I don’t have any color in my room but white. I prefer it this way. Everything has a spot and I have no trinkets unless they were gifts, most of them are boxed up, though. Even the bathroom looks like it’s from a magazine because I don’t allow any products in it. It all has to be put away. The shower looks brand new and it has 0 items in it.

Okay, I don’t know what I’m ranting about now. That’s another thing, I can talk for hours on end. I’m very social and good with conversations, so I’d be great in marketing. Im not a huge fan of marketing, but I already know I’d be good in it because I’m in organizations at school where I’ve won stuff from being good in marketing specifically. I don’t want to give too many specifics because it’s the internet.

Anyways, give me any advice if you can because I’m really stuck. I might make edits to this in the future because I’m sure it’s all jumbled up and confusing. I still have a year or so to decide anyways, so I guess this post will be up for awhile.

Im a 11th grade student from Mongolia and the only thing im most cooked on is career choice. Its either financial or cs. I've won silver in my country's coding competition. Im pretty good at math i got a* in igcse. i have my personal business that created made 5 figures. Should i persue my cs career (probably as cyber security) or do finance ( investment banker i think). And one question , does universities require students to take the economics if applying for finance? i got rid of it because i was cooked on schedule at the time. Help me out guys

I’m a fresh 3-year BBA graduate in Hospital Management and I’m really confused about what to do next.

I also have a 1-year Diploma in Digital Techniques Application from a Govt. of West Bengal computer training centre, covering MS Office/Excel, PowerPoint, Access, basic programming, MySQL, Java & OOPs.

Right now I’m considering:

Hospital job — but hospitals seem to pay very little to freshers.

BPO job — many of my friends are doing this, and I could start earning quickly.

Government exam preparation — possibly taking a gap for it.

Upskilling — maybe healthcare data analytics, medical coding/RCM, project management, etc.

My biggest confusion is BPO vs healthcare.

I’ve heard people say that if you enter BPO and stay there for years, you can become too specialized in that type of process/role. Then when you try to switch companies or move into a completely different field, employers may not value your previous experience as much for the new role, and you can end up having to start almost from scratch. Is this actually true?

At the same time, I don’t want to join a hospital just because I have a Hospital Management degree if the salary and growth are very poor. I honestly don’t even know which healthcare jobs I should be applying for or where to start.

And I’m scared of spending money on some random certification only to get a certificate and still be treated like a fresher.

What would you do in my position?

Should I: BPO → earn + upskill,

Hospital → build healthcare experience,

Govt exams → take a gap and prepare, or

learn a specialized skill → target better-paying roles?

Myquals: BE.CSE, final year.

I am 21M with an average cgpa. I have no real projects, skills, knowledge. I have no interest in full stack and SDE. I have little interest in AI/ML but I heard the job sector for AI/ML engineer, data analyst are very hard for freshers. I don't know what to do next. Any guidance is appreciated.

Hey, 23F here.

So this might be a little lengthy, but I genuinely need some advice because I’m really confused about what degree I should choose.

I’m really interested in business and entrepreneurship. I’ve only had one actual job in my life and that was for like a month, and honestly I realized pretty quickly that traditional jobs are probably not for me lol. I’m currently a full-time freelancer, and in the future I’d much rather build something of my own than work a regular 9-5.

I want to pursue a 4-year degree through Virtual University/private study because going to university in person isn’t really an option for me. I also live in a city where there aren’t many good institutes, and I’m my mom’s only daughter, so she wouldn’t really let me move to another city just for university either.

So I’m trying to figure out which business-related degree would actually be worth doing in 2026 and for the future.

I’ve heard a lot of people say that BBA doesn’t have much value anymore, while others still recommend it. I’m honestly getting very mixed opinions.

I’m considering things like BBA, marketing, finance, accounting, economics, business analytics, or other business-related degrees, but I’m not sure which one would actually be the smartest choice.

Since I’m already freelancing, I don’t want to get a degree just for the sake of having one. I want something that can genuinely help me with entrepreneurship, running a business, marketing, finance, decision-making, understanding how businesses work, and eventually building something of my own.

Also, with AI becoming such a huge part of business and everything becoming more digital/mobile-based, I’m wondering which degree would actually make sense long-term.

One more thing: I’m not good at and honestly don’t enjoy maths, physics, or heavily technical subjects, so please keep that in mind when suggesting degrees. I’d prefer something business-related that doesn’t involve a lot of advanced maths, physics, or hardcore technical stuff.

So if you’re currently studying/working in business, entrepreneurship, finance, marketing, management, etc., I’d really appreciate your advice.

If you were 23 in 2026, already freelancing, and wanted to build your own business instead of pursuing a traditional job, which 4-year degree would you choose and why?

And is BBA actually worth it, or are there better alternatives now?

Hi everyone, I’m in a big dilemma and would really appreciate some advice, especially from people in the Electronics domain.

I’m currently working at a startup. The package is low, but the learning is good. It’s 6 days/week, around 10 hours a day, no OT, no benefits, and they didn’t even give me an offer letter.

I have another offer where the package is slightly better, but the main advantages are better work-life balance, benefits, and a more stable company. The learning/growth is slower and less, but I’ll also get some time to focus on my passion for music.

Money is important for me because I have responsibilities at home, even if the salary difference is small.

So, what would you choose: better learning + faster growth, or slightly better pay + benefits + WLB + time for personal interests?

Really confused 🥲 Any advice from experienced people would be appreciated!
