Anyone in their late 20s and still unsure what they want to do?
I’m 29, still living at home and working 12 hour shifts on manufacturing. The pay is decent especially since I’m living at home, otherwise it wouldn’t be great. I’ve managed to save a decent amount and I’m slowly building towards a house deposit.
On paper, things are going well, but really I don’t know what career or life I actually want. The job is income but I don’t actually love it or see myself there long term. I’ve been in my current role for 2 years and have applied for internal progression opportunities a few times but haven’t been successful. Another thing about it is it’s shift work of days and nights.
Lately, I’ve been considering staying where I am and continuing to save for a house, go to college or take some months off and go travelling with some of my savings. The problem is I genuinely don’t know what I want to do.
I get that saving for a house is important but I don’t want to wake up in 10 years having done nothing except work,save money and never experience anything else. Sometimes it feels people my age have it figured out with houses, careers, partners, kids etc. I’m still trying to work out what direction i want to go in.
Anyone else in a similar situation? What did you do?
