The late teenage and early twenties are one of the most confusing times in your life. There are too many options out there, but you don’t know what to do. There are a lot of articles which state the pros and cons of one specific field and what you can do in one field but very few which give an overview of different fields. Remember, this is the age where you can experiment with what you want to do and it is okay to take risks, it’s better to be broke in your twenties than in your thirties. Even if you don’t like anything from this list, there are a lot of options out there, some that you might not even know exist, the only way you will find out about these career options is exploring through working in different places.
