I feel stuck not knowing what the future holds

I’m in the process of getting my FAFSA log in stuff reset (I got married since the last time I had to file) and I don’t know what I specifically want to do. I just want to be resourceful and helpful 😅Kentucky

... Read moreFeeling uncertain about the future is a common experience, especially during major life transitions such as marriage or graduation. It's essential to take a step back and explore your interests and values. Consider the various paths that align with your passions—like becoming an ESL/TEFL teacher or working as a counselor for refugees. Research and reach out to professionals in those fields to gain insights into their experiences and the day-to-day realities of their jobs. Utilizing resources like career counseling, online personality assessments, and informational interviews can provide clarity. The key is to allow yourself time to explore and remain open to possibilities that may arise as you pursue your interests. Remember, it’s not just about what you want to do, but also about how you can contribute to others and find fulfillment in your vocation. Engage in volunteer work or internships to gain experience and refine your options further.
