What will my career look like in 10 years from now?

As life gets harder and harder, I have noticed that I will have to obtain a degree or certification to be able to live above means. But the hard part is figuring out what I want to do with my life at such a young age. I am currently in school for Early Childhood and Teaching I will be graduating soon but I don't have a passion for teaching. So now I hope to get a bachelors in something I actually will enjoy but I enjoy a lot of things and I love learning new things. I feel as if I'm just a hard book to crack when it comes to this thing called choices.

TLAURENTONI’s Answer

Even though you cannot predict the future, you can still respond admirably to the question, "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?"Here are three helpful hints if you are unsure where to begin.
Before you attempt to respond to this question, you want to learn more about your business first and foremost.In the end, you need to talk about a goal that goes along with something the company offers. Supporting their mission, advancing into positions they offer, or something similar could be examples.
If you don't do some research, you won't know how to connect everything in the end.Consequently, this is the best location for investigating your career path in depth. Examine the roles that logically follow and the typical length of time it takes to land them.Like that, you can examine different positions you might want to hold during the 10-year time frame while guaranteeing your reaction is sensible.

Cori’s Answer

If you do not want a teaching degree, maybe you can talk to an advisor about a "general studies" degree. Some school offer that as a way for students to create their own course of studies that revolve around their interests. It is good to be aware of your interests and explore the your more successful skill sets. Whenever possible, include opportunities to enhance your technological and computer knowledge and skills.
Remember, you are not committing to 1 career for the rest of your life. The average American will have 12 different jobs throughout a lifetime. You will have a better advantage to gain a better paying job with a degree versus without one, but that is not a 100% certainty. The job I have now is not the job I imagined myself to have when I started college, but I used my education and kept upgrading my skillset to end up with a career that pays well and that I enjoy.
I am certain that you can have that too. Stay encouraged.

Sree Padma’s Answer

You are not alone in feeling that you cannot choose your life goals. So, don't be hard on yourself. And, you don't need to force yourself doing that you don't enjoy. It is a positive aspect that you like to learn so many things. Here is my tip. It is helpful if you list those things that interest you. Once the list is done, take a look to see whether you can categorize them into three or four groups on a priority basis. You can distill one or two from the top group. If this doesn't work, you can still start college, take courses that interest you, and see where that will take you. It has been a trend to double major, which might suit you better. Whatever you do, make sure that you are enjoying it! All the best!
