I need honest opinions on what I should do with my hair 😭
This is my hair currently: dark brunette with warm copper/red balayage pieces and long layers. My natural hair is very dark brown and my eyes are light brown. I love the coppery red tone in my hair just because it’s something different and I’ve never done anything “adventurous” with my hair before. I went to someone new and I feel like my hair is kinda choppy and chunky (color wise), so i definitely get to get it blended better. I have gotten compliments that the red brings out my eyes more and my eyes are my best feature in my opinion. I just feel lost and like I’m going through an identity crisis rn and need change (even minor)!!

Be brutally honest, what would suit me best?

I’m 24F (almost 25) and feeling really lost/conflicted about my career path right now. I currently work in healthcare administration/executive assistant type roles, and while I’m grateful to have stable experience and a degree, I honestly don’t know if office life is for me long term.

Sitting at a desk all day has started affecting me mentally and physically. I feel drained, uninspired, inactive, and honestly kind of depressed in traditional office environments. I’ve realized I’m much more drawn to creative, people-focused, energetic careers and lifestyles. I’m constantly jealous of people working in fashion, photography, beauty, sports, branding, social media, styling, etc. — careers that seem more dynamic and exciting.

At the same time, I don’t necessarily want to completely “start over” or throw away the professional experience I already have. I’ve considered esthetician school because I’m very interested in beauty/wellness/aesthetics, but I’m also considering pursuing an MBA with a concentration in Sports Management or HR because I still want long-term career growth and financial stability.

For context:

* BS in Public Health

* Experience in hospital administration/executive assistant work

* Interested in beauty, wellness, sports, branding, fashion, and creative industries

* Want more movement, creativity, and fulfillment in my day-to-day work

* Don’t want to make a reckless decision, but also don’t want to wake up miserable in an office forever

Has anyone here pivoted from a more traditional/corporate path into something more creative or people-focused? Or pursued an MBA while still figuring things out? I’d really appreciate honest advice because I feel stuck between practicality and wanting a life that actually excites me.

Hair color help!!

What do I do with my life?
