my situation is a complete mess so I figured id seek advice from some of the more experienced ppl in this forum. im 22 years old and I basically I still dont have a job, I graduated last year with a degree in business management and finances, so I spent the year working on new habits and studying lots of self dev theory while I knew all along that I should prioritize getting a job, i was succumbing to procrastination and comfort until it got too much for me so I decided to contemplate on whats keeping me stuck.
I discovered that Im a full blown perfectionist type of guy in a country full of incompetent people, the type that can't move forward unless there is a clear plan in his head that he can tackle full on, and that I actually get confidence from that, otherwise if I dont know what to do I tend to become paralyzed
from my contemplation my perfectionist self came up with a bunch of plans :
1 .basically explore the different career options for people with my degree, choose one that I like, study its requirements and acquire the skills needed (that I can), and intern because I was stupid enough not to intern while I was still in college and so now I gotta sign back into college in some random field just so that I can intern because you basically cant unless you're a student.
2. go for a master's degree while doing all of the above, which will probably give me better chances in the job market but also plenty
of studying to even pass the entrance exam.
plan 1 would probably take a year to accomplish, plan 2 would take over two years , and all of this is just so that I can get my shit handled and start earning money while working on the side on my life purpose (that I still havent found out yet) which is my goal from all of this.
Or I could just go for some dead end job that probably doesnt pay much at all and just go directly for my life purpose which is what I really want from all of this BS, I just wanna finish the course, find out my life purpose and start working on it every single day nonstop, just the thought of working on something im passionate about and contributing to the world makes me aroused.
or maybe I just really suck at strategizing and im overthinking stuff, which is why Im interested to know what some of you wiser people in this forum have to say about all of this. but im really feeling stuck and a lot of resistance, if I cant even get a 9 to 5 job how the hell am I supposed to achieve my dreams and ambitions ?
