I always told them to find a goal and figure out how to get there. I had careers “picked out” for each of them. Lol good thing I never told them because none of the three went that way
My oldest, wanted to make a certain amount of money and live a certain life. He found the job to get him there, worked his way up and now he is there. He works offshore overseas. He is gone 28 days but truly enjoys his life and his family the 28 he is home.
My youngest is still getting there. She has a good job with good benefits but it’s not her chosen field. She isgetting her foot in the door of her chosen field, personal trainer. She wants to work for herself but she has to stay with a gym and build her clientele but that’s part time. Her goal is to work for herself and personal training is the doing what she really loves.
I have given her and her husband the advise of figure out what you want to achieve and what you need to do to get there. Honestly for a young married couple they are doing very well.
And my middle one has taken a little longer to figure it out. He thought he had it figured out when his oldest child was born. He decided within a month that his goal was to be able to spend as much time with his kids as he could. He didn’t want to work night or long shifts like the career he was heading toward would have required. And he didn’t want to be away from home like his brother. He has floundered around a bit. But he will start school in August.
