I quit my job, what do I do now?

So, I quit my job because it has just been way too stressful. Problem is, I am almost 20 with little work experience, no specific major, and all my interests are way hard to find a career in. (Theatre.) My family is very supportive and wants me to follow my dreams, but my friends think I should focus on getting work experience and picking a major just to be sure I'll have a future. I know I'll need a set career eventually, but I really do not want to be stuck with a career that I hate. The only thing I am one-hundred percent sure of at the moment is that I need a break over the holidays to sort some things out. But, I need some serious advice: What should I do?

You have a little time to think it over ... Use this break to research your dreams further. Decide whether you want to make your dream your career and research all that it entails. from career outlook growth, money, etc. this way you will have a complete picture of what you'd like to pursue. and there is nothing wrong with having a back up plan to go along with whatever your major dreams are. At twenty , you have time to explore, gain work experience and so forth but if you choose to follow your heart make sure that you're fully prepared.Good Luck!
