I am a 20yo male,
I come from a modest background, government housing, absent fatheretc etc...
Currently I’ve been out of high school for 3 years, I went to a disadvantaged school but still scored well enough I got into engineering program at 17 due to anxiety and I was too young I dropped out.
I begun work as a sales guy and raked in the cash, the company owner loved me said I lifted the whole office . I said I would take another whack at college and tried nursing I loved the science and practical skills but I hated the social care aspects of nursing and the general attitude of nursing I turned down good offers of college I got because I didn’t want to commit to a move and a 30k loan for something I wasn’t 100% sure on so I took up a random job as a kitchen porter the chef promoted me to the line after 2 months and I worked my way up eventually sending out food he told me if I stayed in the industry I had the potential too “ change the whole game” he gave me nothing but a hard time throwing my food in the bin, shouting over the placement of a strawberry but when he left he said I had some of the best leadership he’s ever seen and was better than any commis chef he’s ever seen - the general manager told me this when he left.
The restaurant ended up going down south and I jumped to a hotel but I got plucked from kitchen to go to bars at the meeting with HR they set me up with a bar interview and the beverage manager wanted me on his team so I went, all the time on the bar people tell me after talking to me for a while “You’ll go far” I hear this all the time when I’m showing other staff how to do stuff etc just yesterday a guy came up to me and said “This is from me, my wife and the table we think your a brilliant young man and theirs something special about you shook my hand with a generous tip and told me I would go far in life”
I was at a food court and met my old sales manager/owner and he said he was disappointed he thought I would be managing a sales floor or have my own business by now, why do I feel so disappointed I look around me in work and see people doing degrees, they know what they are doing with their life? Why can’t I nail it down yet? I was thinking about going back to college I would do it for medicine or computer science as they are two degrees with good return and job safety and I like tinkering with computers and reading medical journals a lot.
I am essentially cursed with jack of all trades master of none disease, I joked to my manager that I would make a website for career guidance for people but seriously men help me out?
