  • “Get paid doing something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life!” Yeah, it sounds great, and a small handful of people accomplish it. For most people, this advice will just ruin what they love by turning it into a job. My advice is to find something you don’t mind doing and it can pay the bills. I work with computers. I don’t love working with computers, but it’s fine, I like it. My hobbies get to continue being things I enjoy doing after work. I don’t recommend finding a passion to inspire you to work (or study, assuming you would plan to study something that would turn into a job qualification). Instead, find something that you merely like well enough but there is a demand for in the job market, and then use that to fund your future passions, long term goals, and some emergency savings.

    Btw, I don’t think your attitudes are unusual for your age. Large percentages of students begin university as undeclared majors and/or aimlessly switch their declared major many times over. And if homemaking really is your thing, consider taking classes and looking at majors that focus on cooking, nutrition, interior design, art, personal (or even business) finance.
