Almost 30, a degree that's just a piece of paper, and a job I fell into — how do I figure out what I'm actually good at?
I'm almost 30. I have a bachelor's degree, but honestly it's a degree in name only — it didn't teach me a real skill or point me toward anything I care about. And I didn't choose my current job out of interest or passion — someone I knew helped me get it, so I just landed here and I'm doing it.
The problem is I have no real idea what I'm good at, or what kind of work I'd actually enjoy and could earn a living from. I'm at a stage of life where nothing quite makes sense, and I feel stuck.
For anyone who's been here: how did you figure out your strengths? How do you discover work you genuinely want to do when you're already this far in and starting from scratch? I'd really appreciate hearing from people who found their way through this.
