Career Confusion

My internship is coming to a close this week. The two months have gone by in the blink of an eye. I'm grateful for this experience, as it helped me understand what I enjoy in a work environment and more generally at work.

For example, I enjoy the technical side of my work. Finding a solution to go from A to B within a project and having a clear output of my work.

Despite these insights, I have been discussing the lack of clarity in my career choices with my family and friends. I do not feel a strong pull toward any particular direction. I do enjoy the technical side of my current work, but I'm uncertain whether I'll enjoy it long-term. My cousin suggested getting a career and/or life coach. 

I looked it up and my school does provide a career counselling service. So I booked a free session for this upcoming Wednesday. I do not think I will get a sudden realisation of what I want to do with my life. Yet I have hope that this session can make me see things in a different light and help me clarify which way to go.

Currently, for my fourth year of engineering, I have chosen the route of mechanical engineering. I have a vague vision of what this means, but I need to better understand what mechanical engineers actually do day-to-day.

In my eyes, the reality is that until I work in the field, I will not know whether I like it or not. There are ways to go about it, though. One is getting in contact with people in a certain role and talking with them. It is something that my friends are doing and which I intend to pursue.

This Week's Suggestions:

🎶 "Fast Life" by GEE LEE & India Shan:

"Kinda feels like caught up in the fast life" is simply repeated throughout the song. Very nice mellow house beat to accompany these vocals.

That's all I got today!
