Ask Lemmy

You didn't write your age, but I assume you're around 18 from your username and the description. I'm in my late twenties, and working as a software developer. It took me most of my twenties of just trying different things, and studying on and off, before I figured out what direction to go in career wise. It's worked out well for me in the end, but I am completely open to changing my mind and changing course later, in case I no longer like it, or I wanna do something else. Like you, no particular career really had a strong appeal to me when I was a teenager. That's fine. I don't think it matters a great deal what, specifically, you do at the start of adulthood. What matters is that you do something. Whether that's pursuing a degree, or working some random job, or trying to start your own business, or traveling to do volunteer work, etc. If you wanna be a housewife, I'm sure you'll find a partner you can do that with eventually. But until then, I think you'd be denying yourself of a lot of personal growth by not taking on some form of full time occupation (once you're done with school, of course). Basically, you'll figure out the specifics as you go along, and you'll probably find out what career appeals you to when you've tried a few types of jobs.
