I have no idea where my life is headed

[Jason Voorhees]

I feel completely lost about where my life is headed. Every decision feels huge, and I have no clear direction. I'm just trying to figure out what comes next, but everything feels uncertain and overwhelmingNext year I'll be graduating and finishing college and honestly I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life I’m have so many major decisions ahead of me. Should I pursue a master's degree or should I gain work experience by getting a job? If I do get a job should I move out of my parents’ nest and fly solo?. I didn’t worry about these things during the first two years of university; I was more carefree and did whatever I wanted just going where the wind blows en But now these things are dawning on me as Im nearing the end of my college. I have a lot of responsibilities piling up. I need to find a job, secure my finances. figure out which career path to take and on top of all that fuss I have to lose weight, build healthier habits and potentially get some surgeries

Everything is a mess I domt even know where to begin. Just reading this back while typing this thread made me realize what a train wreck my life right now is my friends as usual are all clear with their goals and already know what they want to do damn

I would try to get a job asap, since work experience is fundamental, and only go for a masters if you cant get a job, or are in a field where masters is required

As for parents it depends, if you got the money, don't hate your parents, or don't mind sharing a flat, then go solo

Well if you know what career you’re pursue then pursue it or take a gap year to get everything under control

Since you are graduating w/o a partner staying with parents is probably a must and will give you a financial boon. There is no way you would save as much if you ever moved out. People save more living with parents in early 20s than in the mid-30s despite being paid over double in that time.

Use that time as a foundation. Otherwise you will complain. This is just financial advise it may or may not apply to your circumstance.

Which jobs out there allow a fresh grad fully remote? It's already 100x harder to get these jobs compared to normal jobs which are already 100x over subscribed.

I'm a CScel. Initially my plan was to convert my summer internship into a pre placement offer and then chill out until the end of college but that seems to extremely hard and I don't fully believe I'll be able to get that. I wanted to do a masters for higher degree of specialization and to buy more time since the job market rn is at a low because of a global recession. I will try for a job and specialize in DevOps while applying for masters program in unis parallelly.

My parents don't mind it at all. They are more than happy to keep me infact they insist I stay with them. Typical ethnic parents who think children should only move once they are getting married. I want to move out for more independence. My parents pay and do everything for me. From food, laundry, cleaning everything. If I do stay with them I would have 0 living expenses so I could save a lot of money.

Make a portfolio, get certs and keep grinding those job apps, worst case you can look into getting a masters in a field tangentially related, like cybersecurity, software engineering, or any other engineering/MBA

Financially, its better to stay with parents then. The whole adulting shit is overrated and easy, so I wouldn't be too worried about that, maybe ask your parents to teach you the basics, but even then you always have youtube to learn it from

Getting a Job will be a good decision ig

Also ig u are from upper middle class and don't have to think about money that much so if you can sit for long study sessions

You can go for increasing more knowledge that can also give you good opportunities bhai

Getting healthy will be easier
Try to lower the stress levels and think about it alone

You can try sitting in a good environment or just a solo trip you will find out
What is best for you

Dude everytime I see your posts it just reminds me that I'm a CScel that can't code for SHIT and cheat all the time and a tryhard like you worrying so much about the future makes me anxious too.

What do you specialize in? Which programming languages do you "master"? Lastly, tell me your hardest/most impressive project.

Well that's kind of what life is. You've been successful up until this point based on what you've told me. Hobbies, good job, etc. I think you've gotta just wing it and use what you know to the best of the ability. Unironically follow your heart & brain and see where it all ends up. You can't worry about having no regrets, and no one has a perfect life. You've got to embrace the ability of having mistakes because otherwise it means staying in limbo (which is an even bigger mistake than probably anything else you can do wrong)

Not making any decisions because it can be stressful/you could fail is probably the biggest mistake there is. I've made this mistake and it's cost me big time.
