Should I know what I want to do by thirty?

Hi Rachel, I’m almost 30 and I’m struggling what to do with my life career
wise. I’ve never known what it is I’ve wanted to do and i think about it so
much it drives me insane!! Any ideas please would be greatly appreciated.

I’m one of those annoying people who have trouble deciding exactly what they can do- only because I want to do so much! I have too many ideas to fit into my lifetime.
However I have worked with others who feel the same way as you, and I’ll give you the same advice I’ve given them.
Pehaps it’s not your career you need to focus on. Not everyone is going to have a job you love. Even in the job I love there are tasks I don’t enjoy.
The thing is I’ve got a personality where my job and my life are pretty closely connected. I’m always on in other words.
Maybe for you that’s not your thing. So instead of focussing on career, focus on what you really want to do full stop. Do you want to travel? Have children? Do crazy high extreme things? Make a list of things you really want to do, then go do them. Work may be a way of funding it, and along the way you may discover a long term love of something you could do as a job or a career.
