Hi Dae’Jahon
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with experiencing multiple jobs prior to deciding on a career. Getting life and work experience is multiple fields is actually advantageous once you do decide on a career…if you ever actually choose one.

As Sharhonda said, there's nothing wrong about it.
People have slight different definition of jobs and careers. To me, job is something you do to make a living in order to pursue other exciting endeavors vs. career is one of the endeavors. Both of them are part of your life which you steer the course of.

It's better to wait until you know what you really want to do with your life before you start a career. I'm trying to change careers and I'm wishing I had waited on the degree because it's now the wrong field for me.

As other answers have pointed out, there is nothing wrong with growing your skill sets with smaller jobs. This also helps you figure out what does and does not work for you. Careers aren't always decided right away. I've always been of the mindset that a career is when you've decided what you want to accomplish in the field you are currently working in. It can take time to identify that, but once you do you know where you want to be and build off of that to push your results further with a larger commitment.

Yeah - just echoing what everybody has said here. There's no rush to jump into a career. I worked a few different part time jobs out of college. I had financial responsibilities to take care of at that point such as paying for a car & insurance and a lot of my food expenses. I didn't have to pay rent right away but if that's something you need to do, then working a job or two until you find that perfect career for you is totally okay. I definitely understand if friends or family are putting pressure on you for it.
Also keep in mind that if you do find a "career" type job right out of high-school or college, you can always change that on your own timeline. I have worked in 3 very different industry in the last 15 years. Keep learning new skills along the way, ask questions when you have them, and you'll help build yourself a great path towards something you really love.
