Well, naturally the jobs available right now are those that people don't "like" doing. You've got to accept that your job is not your choice and you get free time outside of work hours to do those likes. I did Physics, which I "liked", but there's no jobs and I wish I'd done something I was good at but hated like Engineering. |
Totally agree. When I was younger in high school and college I first wanted to be a football player, but then I asked myself, am I the best in my team? if yes, am I the best in my school? if yes am I the best in my league? and slowly after asing each round of questions you realise that there is a point you stop at being that good top compete at a professional level.
Most my highschool days I did units liek art, music, woodwork and metal work as it got me out of class haha. BUt in the end I realised even though I was good at art, not many artists get paid well. Same for music, I played the trumpet was great at it, but at the same time, how many famous trumpet players are there which make money?
Eventually you can say I grew up and switched my focus to sciences and mathamatics.
I ended up going into engineering because the fact was there is a high demand for them. It was hard, it was long hours but the rewards are there
I know a lot of people who do the wrong degree (not even gonna mention the usless ones) like account and to some extent law, and still struggle to find jobs as the demand is low and there are many graduates in these fields.
What I also found out is most office jobs, do not require a degree, most the managers at my work, started out as field staff and worked their way up with no university training whatsoever. Basically to get one of these jobs you start at the bottom and social network your way up the ladder.
