Feeling Lost In Your 20s? Learnings From My Quarter-life Crisis
Why you are never too old to change
After I finished my bachelor's, I thought I had everything figured out:
- I’m a grown-up now
- I’m starting to work in a job I will have for more than 40 years
- I finished my education
- I know what I want
I was totally wrong.
I started working, and after a few months I got frustrated. It was not depression or burnout; it was just me being frustrated with life and work.
I’m exchanging my precious time for money I don’t know how to spend and for work that is not fulfilling and is useless.
I had a quarter-life crisis.
Society tells you to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life before starting to study.
You are 18 and you are still a teenager, and they think you know what you want to do? Most of us don’t.
But the great thing about today’s life is: you can change professions easier than ever, and there are so many options.
10 years later, I can tell you: don’t pressure yourself to find THE passion or THE work you want to do for the rest of your life.
