Ok i just got done with undergrad, now what?? look for a job?? I dont know where to start... i mean i want to do a lot of things im in my early 20's. How do you know that the career path you're taking is the right one? Im afraid to choose one path, and find out that its not what I want.. I dont want to waste time and effort on that path.. How do you know what you are suppose to be when you grow up? I am starting my masters program next year, and that would be for 2 more years. I guess my life is boring, all i have is homework. All my other freinds, are married have families, have a nice house and going for things..

Having gone through this myself, recently, I got done with my BA and found a job. The thing is there is something in your heart that you want to pursue, you've just yet to label it. You don't know what is right, and I would have to say that there is no such thing as wasting time (unless you plan on spending it sitting in front of the tv). Take a job that you are unsure about, it's fine, when the world is so big, a process of elimination will prove to be important and insightful. I took more time off between my undergrad and grad, and so glad I did. I was paralegal-ing (thinking maybe I would be a lawyer??), administrative management, bartender, I've done a good number of things and it all led me to the path that I am more or less sure of. Certainty is not what you will find in your life, it's part of the journey and what lends it excitement. Just make sure you include A LOT of traveling in all your plans. That is the best education you can receive. Try to experience life and try to put yourself in situations with which you are unfamiliar. YOu will thank yourself for it later.

In quick the reply is: "Do what makes you comfortable" But, do you fairly realize what makes you comfortable? Are you definite what make you comfortable in these days will make you comfortable 5 or ten 12 months from now? You would no longer be so definite. You are nonetheless at the proper monitor chiefly due to the fact you're asking the proper query. The reply isn't as sensible as one might supply right here. There are many elements worried akin to your area of research, your curiosity, your long run objectives, your view of the sector, and the important of your whole belief of existence. I realize this sounds very philosophical however those are all hidden within the nature of your query. Getting married at a tender age does no longer always have any clash with going for better schooling or beginning a profession. I obtained married on the age of 20. My spouse used to be 17, and we had our first baby a few years later whilst at university. Despite the entire worry, my spouse and I controlled to earn our Ph.Ds and improve in our careers. I'll be comfortable to proportion my revel in with you. Send me an email should you like.

Okay, it is possible to be successful and happy in most lines of work, professions, whatever. The trick is to find the right way to get there, and the best way is to get a mentor who is successful. The only other trick is that the mentor has to be someone who you can pattern yourself after (e.g. similar personality and goals). Don't worry about how glamorous a career may be, it is totally valid life choice to run a mechanics shop, or be a musician. But just figure out where the self-sufficient people are, and try to join them.

Volunteer or get an internship in the field you are going to be getting your Master's in. If you don't like it now, you probably won't like it in two years. That said, unless you are studying a technique-rich field (science, engineering, accounting, health sciences), your specific degree doesn't necessarily force you into a certain career path. Even with those sorts of degrees you have options.
Finish your Master's now, that's my advice. Once you have bills it becomes quite a bit more difficult to go back to school, or to downsize.

Except for the being married part, I'm happily married and would never change that for anything, but you can have my job and all the stress that goes with it and I'll be the one to go back to school. You should feel lucky to be be in school with the biggest worry being homework!
