My advice, for bringing the mountain of career options down to a manageable mound, is to try things. To make a list of every career path you have ever considered and start trying them out.
Try them with tiny experiments.
By that I mean if professional knitter is on your list, start by knitting a quilt.
Then if you enjoyed the experience, try knitting a bigger quilt. Then if you enjoyed that, try selling a quilt you knitted.
Small incremental experiments to test your interest in the activity.
Learning by doing offers raw first-hand experience like no other method.
The best way to learn how to make a film, is to make a film.
The best way to test your interest as a personal trainer, is to personally train someone.
The best way to find out if you like sales, is to sell something.
The way I see it, it would be a shame to spend thousands of euros and a couple of years getting a degree only to find you don’t like the day to day tasks of the job.
So it’s better to try it now for free and know instantly.
