Demetrius’s Answer

When we have trouble or feel like we can't commit to anything especially our goals; most often it's due to lack of consistency. Things are always getting in the way or we find alternatives that are more convenient for the moment. This happens when we are only holding ourselves accountable(besides we are our own worst critic, right.) But if you get an accountability partner; someone you trust this could increase your chance for success in whatever career path you choose. Also Create a Vision Board and place it where everyday you have to look at it. This will remind you of the Goals you have set for yourself daily.

Good Luck!

Rawa’s Answer

I don't see you as one who has a hard time committing. Instead, I view you as an individual with courage to try new things and exploring opportunities outside of your comfort zone. Many of the most successful people did exactly that. By learning new things you develop a holistic set of skills, some of which will be transferable across many jobs. I wouldn't consider this as a waste of time.

To help you put all this experience into use, try identifying a trend in the things you explore. Is it people-centred? Is it more on the artistic side? Do you enjoy the travelling aspect of things? I'm just throwing in some examples, but spend some time assessing what it is exactly that attracts you to try the various roles and maybe then you will be able to identify the one job (or a totally new other job) that you wish to pursue.

Katie’s Answer

If the idea of committing seems daunting, consider this: "it's estimated that most people will have 12 jobs during their lives" and "29% of people have completely changed fields" (https://www.apollotechnical.com/career-change-statistics/#:~:text=The%20average%20number%20of%20job,to%2052%20years%20of%20age.)

I think the key is to think of a career topic that will help you open doors and if you are not interested in a specific path, a general path may be best. Or, think about trying out a trade school rather than 4-year college program. Many trades related to your interests are in demand and pay very well.

Amanda’s Answer

It's ok to be interested in more than one thing! Rather than limiting yourself, think creatively about how you might work doing all of the things that you love. What do you love about them? Do they have something in common that may lead you to something else?
