What Do I Do?
Can anyone advise graduates who are ambivalent and uncertain about what roles to take up as a career?
Yes I can, and here goes.
You will be happiest when you are working in areas that you enjoy. Start by making an inventory of your life up to now. Note all the stuff you loved doing. Note particularly the stuff that so engrossed you that you lost track of time, went to bed thinking about it, and got up excited to work on it in the morning. Don't leave anything off, or consider anything too small or too silly. Note all the skills you've developed up to now. Which ones do you most enjoy using?
Walk away from the list and come back to it a day or two later. Keep looking and noticing. See if there are any skills and areas you might want to combine into a job.

Someone on Quora asked:
How can I make something of my life?
I am 19 years old and feel like I am going no where in life. Since I left Sixth Form/College in 2013, I have done nothing productive with my life. Everyone I went to school with has a job, progressing through life, picking up skills and confidence as they earn money building something for themselves no matter how small it may be, yet I have not gone onto pursue a career.
I am 47 and feel the same way sometimes.
I am going to suggest a number of things that help/have helped me get out of my many ruts in life.
