Post college situation seems confusing for me. I never been so clueless like this in my life. Life after college exposing you to 2 questions that most people need to answer. And here my experiences, trying to figuring out the answer to the question.

What will I do after this?

This is the first question that appear in my mind right after I finishing all the administrative in my college after I finishing my thesis defense. I always try to answer this by saying that I will try to get rich. But how? I don't know. 

Working as an employee seems not really gives you way to get rich. It only makes you have the money, fulfilling your life necessity, but it seems impossible to get rich by working only. Even my parents need 25 years for they reach this level of wealth, which is not really much. Most of their assets are not a real assets, it still a liabilities. 

Investing? If your not working, then how you get the money to invest? That's my question also. Lend from my surrounding? I think that is not wise. 

Creating a business? Become a content creator? Switching career? 

So many questions in my head that still not get an answer till now. But one answer that I believe I know it's the right answer is keep moving. It doesn't matter whether I work as an employee, creating content, investing, making small business or anything, as long as I keep moving that still good. 

Did I make a mistake?

This is the second question that appear in my mind. Did I really didn't make any mistake until I reach this level? That question hits me hard actually. 

I chose my major because I get the scholarship, it's not because I passionate in that field. I learn the current specialties, because I know it needed by the industry. It's not because I really love the field. 

Why I'm not choosing language major? Or any exact science major? Why I'm not choosing the history major? I never know the answer.

And also, am I wrong for being a generalist? Like I really enjoy to study many things, but I never really into one specialties in my life. I never have any field that I really deep into that thing. 

I always switching my 'career' before I become an expert in that field. And I have done this many times in my life. It makes me hard to figure out what should I do in life. 

Do I Get The Answers Yet?
