Hey! Im searching for advice on how to find out what I should do in my life, since I'm feeling very unfulfilled in my current job, but I'm not sure what I should do instead.
I just graduated last summer and I got a master's degree in international management. Besides my studies, I was teaching German as a foreign language for 2 years, which I enjoyed very much. I loved to explain things easily, motivate my students, help them progress and make them laugh. I was always so proud when I could see that they actually developed themselves because of me. However, I think only teaching German would become boring after a while.
Also besides my studies, I was working in a student organization. The area I liked the most was organizing fun events and activities for the other members. I also enjoyed holding workshops about difference topics, such as time management or public speaking.
Right now I'm back in my home country, working as a Trainee in the training department of a popular automotive company. Usually im working on making etrainings look nice, or organizing things in Excel sheets. Even though I work in training, I never get to hold one or actually be there, but I'm just organizing things from afar. Moreover, I know that the etrainings I'm working most of my time on, which the car salesman are supposed to do, are not appreciated at all. First, because they are not nicely designed an there is just too much information. I understand, but I can't do anything about it, since we get it like this from the headquarter and I can only make small changes. Second, the time they spent on an etraining, they can't sell cars, and they just hate that. I really wanna do something more meaningful than that, help people who need it and appreciate it.
Thus, most of the time I'm just asking myself what I am doing there. the good thing is that I really like my colleagues, but most of the time I just wish I could do something else. but here is the problem, I'm not sure how or what I can do. I started to look into other jobs in learning and development, which seem more hands-on and where I could actually give trainings myself and be creative. Then again, I'm often questioning my choice of studies- maybe I should have better studied to become a teacher, or a social worker, or a psychologist and it just makes me feel a bit panicked, since I spent 6 years studying business.
I just worked 3,5 months at the company, and the contract is for one year only. I thought of taking some time off after, travel, work in some social projects abroad, to find out what I want in life. but I'm not sure if that would help me figure that out, or if I should do something else. I also thought of doing some additional training to become a teacher, but that would take years, and who knows if I'm gonna like that at the end? I'm just feeling really lost right now and I'm seeking some advice of how to find out what I should do with my life. Thanks!
