Only recently, have I realised what I want to do with my life.
You may be wondering what the hell I have been doing for the other 28 years!?
The truth is, I have lurched from one place and one job to the next. None the wiser about what I wanted to do long-term.
In a way, I am glad I did this. It may gave me time and perspective to come to my own conclusions about where my life was heading.
Without taking this path, I may not have got to where I am today.
The Power of I Don’t Know
For the majority of my life, I had no idea what I wanted to do.
Throughout school, university, and even while I was travelling, I still had no idea about the path I would like to take.
To emphasise this, the following are a few career paths I either took, or considered.
Electrician, Teacher, Librarian, Construction Worker, Joiner, Shop assistant and Surveyor.
As you can see, apart from the overriding construction theme, which is a result of my Father being a builder, these are a diverse set of jobs.
Writing them out has hammered home to me how unclear I was about my working life.
