21 years old, CA dropped out, and completely confused about my future. Need honest advice.
​
Hi, I’m 21 years old and honestly I feel really lost right now.
I recently dropped out of CA and these past few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about my future. I don’t want to keep wasting time anymore. I want to learn a real skill and build a stable future for myself, but I’m genuinely confused about which path is actually worth focusing on.
One thing I’ve been thinking about is video editing/content creation or any digital skills. I have a pretty powerful laptop, so I can learn digital skills properly if I commit to it. And I’m fully ready to put in the work and stay dedicated. I know nothing comes easy. But at the same time, I keep overthinking everything.Is video editing actually worth learning now for the long term? Can someone realistically make a good income from it after a few years? Or is it becoming too risky because of AI and heavy competition? I just don’t want to spend years learning something and then realize there’s no future in it.
If anyone here has experience in editing, freelancing, online work, Any Digital Skill or was once in a similar situation at my age, I’d honestly appreciate any advice. Even career suggestions, resources, or things you wish you knew earlier.
I feel like I’m at a point where the next decision I make could really shape my life, so I just want some real guidance from people with experience.
Thank you for reading.
