Need career advice. I am nearly finished my business degree, but i hated every minute of it?

Question

I want a career that excites me and that I will enjoy doing. I was thinking physiotherapy but still not sure. As i am 21 and have my whole life ahead of me i don't mind going back to study. Please don't give me answers like 'go to a careers adviser'.. I just want career suggestions.. Thank you

Answer 1

Two things. Your college degree shows a employer you can start something and finish it. Your college degree opens doors. Thats it. What you do now is all up to you. Get a job. Start. Do. You cannot afford to sit around waiting for the "perfect job". You need money in the bank. Whether you love what you do or not, if you have a job you are more apt to land that job you really want... Personally I did not really find what I "loved" doing until I was 37 years old. Your young, you will find what you looking for, it will be ok. Start, Do, Learn, Put Money In The Bank!

Answer 2

I think if you can afford to go back into studying then you should do, I loved my time at university, I would have loved to have done a second degree as my first one although the social life was a lot of fun, the subject I did bored me senseless and I really am so bored by my line of work.

I got a degree in accountancy and god its so dull. I wish I was something that involved travel.

Physiotherapy sounds good, it pays alright and you not behind a desk all week.



My sister did a second degree two years after she finished her first one. She was struggling to find work and was not happy with the work she was qualified to do. All worked out fantastic for her.



So yeah, give it some real thought.



I personally think we go to university too young and you don't really know what you want to do. If you know more clearly now then pursue it because its near impossible to later in life due to financial commitments.



Good luck!

Answer 3

This might be a little outside the scope of what you're looking for, but with any kind of university degree you can sign up for an officer position in the military. Depending on what specs and qualifications you have or don't have, there are MANY different career opportunities that your parents probably won't agree with here.



Just remember to look at all your options. If you've got good vision, maybe piloting in your country's air force would be right for you?

Answer 4

With a business degree, you can probably quite easily set up your own business. Trust me, working for yourself is the most rewarding experience you could ask for.

Answer 5

Take a biology course & see if you like it, that will give you an indication of whether you should go in another direction.
