@Unlearn how do we get over this stupid phase?
Unlearn · 41-45, M
@00ro8 there is only one way to find out I guess. Are you working currently?

@Unlearn I am but I hate this and I can't figure out what I want I've tried everything and I suck at everything

@00ro8 You're doing it for the money. If someone pays you, they ensure they get enough work out if you. You may want to answer below questions

1. Is the job you are doing currently paying you well?

2. Will your job be in-demand in the next 10 years?

3. Are you good at your work? Life gets easier when you're good at it and your organization thinks it cannot do without you.

4. Even if you followed your passion (assuming you have one) not every bit of that work will make your heart soar. There will be parts you won't enjoy much.

5. While you're at this job, why not give it your best and learn skills that can be useful later on.


I have written above questions without knowing what you actually do for living...

@Unlearn

1. No, it's not.

2. They're automating it soon. With the growing technology I don't think so.

3. I'm good at what I do but it's very easy and anybody can do it.

4. I can completely agree with this. I think my interest lies in entertainment industry but I can't figure out what part.


5. I'm unable to decide if I wanna continue in this field.



Thank you so much!

I appreciate you helping me out sir.

@00ro8 Looks like automation technology is in demand. Might want to focus on AI, ML and scripts.

About the entertainment industry, the same principle holds true. Start small and grow from there...

@Unlearn I took up a data analyst course which is in demand and has a good future too. I didn't touch it for six months



Yeah and I can't figure out where to start
