WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO FIND MY CAREER

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO FIND MY CAREER My name is Ifeoluwa, I am from Nigeria, and I am 18 years old I currently feel very stuck and confused about my life and career direction. Before gaining admission into the university, I worked for about four years under a man who dealt in building materials and agro-chemicals. I did not receive a salary, but the experience taught me a lot about sales, customer relations, and how businesses operate. After gaining admission into the university, I chose to study Finance. However, during my second semester in 100 level, I noticed that many seniors who studied the same course and had already graduated were struggling to find jobs. This made me worried about my future. Because of this, I decided to start learning coding, believing it would give me an advantage. I learned front-end web development, but later realized that my real interest is in the fintech industry, where finance and technology meet. I am also planning to take my ICAN exams in my third year. For the past three months, I have not been happy. I feel lost, moving from one skill to another without a clear plan, goal, or mentor. I want to be successful and live a happy and meaningful life, but right now I don’t know the right path to take. I understand that before becoming an entrepreneur, I need to work under someone, gain experience, and build capital before starting my own business. What I am struggling with is choosing the right career path that aligns with my interests, skills, and long-term goals

Care to share info about FinTech?

I came across FinTech - Financial Technology - recently. Seems like a huge industry (with a lot of areas), and the field might provide work that I want to do. What are some common career paths in FinTech? Are there any roles that have low and/or high appeal? What background experience is necessary for success in the industry? Would like to hear from professionals in FinTech, or with related backgrounds: business, information systems, analytics, etc.
