Feeling lost and stuck. How do you decide what career path to take when you have no experience?
Hello, I’m 23 years old. I am about to graduate next year with Bachelor’s in Business Admin with an HR concentration. I am a fully remote student and feel this has hindered me in a lot of ways such as networking etc. I picked my major mostly because I wanted to help others and I had aspirations of being a social worker or counselor but they require a masters/license. Being that I was pushed back from graduating 2 years due to surgery and other things, I felt pressured to just pick something and graduate. I am doubting my major. It’s not that I don’t have interest in HR but feel completely disconnected due to lack of experience. I also am more introverted/shy and the thought of new hire orientation/recruiting sounds dreadful to me. Everything just feels off to me. The only other things I can switch my major to would be accounting or marketing and not push me back further. I’ve learned you can get into HR without a major and most people just sort of land into HR. Which I didn’t know prior to picking my major. As well as that, there are absolutely no entry level jobs for HR. It’s super upsetting. I have been attempting to get an Internship with no such luck. They are few and far in between. I’ve made it to final rounds but have been rejected. What I really want to do is be a counselor, social worker or nurse/mri tech etc. I would love to work in something medical/helping others. Nursing would set me back 3 years since it’s a totally different path. Rad tech etc are two year programs with pre reqs. I just don’t want to waste my college credits and hard work but I feel very confused at this point. For instance I have about 116 credits, as I changed my major once before and took courses I didn’t need. I will graduate with 146 credit hours. I will graduate at 24, before I turn 25 and I feel old and have absolutely no experience besides retail/fast food jobs. I was supposed to graduate in 2024, so it is upsetting seeing peers graduate. I want to graduate and gain experience and maybe potentially go back to school one day once I actually experience the world. I need a break from school and can’t imagine pushing myself back or enrolling in another program once I graduate. I’m just scared and unsure of my future. I don’t know how to stand out or what my next move should be. I don’t know if I should continue with this Business Admin degree with a concentration in HR, but I fear it is what I mostly align with other than Nursing and such. I don’t even feel confident in saying this is my major because I lost all passion/motivation due to rejects of internships. Being an online student, I also know no one else who went to college. All of my friends are mostly in trades. Do you have advice? I’m feeling lost and struggling a lot.
