Long story short - i'm 25 years old, nearly 26. I chose a degree in accounting and finance for the wrong reasons. I was influenced by my family an also by the job security/money.
Having spent a few years in the accounting field i think it's safe to say that i hate it. I feel pretty annoyed that i've wasted so much time in a career and a job i don't like. I've hardly made any progress in my career as i have no motivation to improve or do better.
It's starting to hit me now. I don't want to go back to uni but at the same time i don't really know what else to do. I don't really have any passions anymore.
I've done a few career tests online but i seem to get varied responses. Each test seems to give me different answers.
Has anyone else ever been in a similar scenario? how did you find out what you wanted to do as a career?
The word transformation and automation will be more and more prevalent in the coming years. Blue and white collar jobs will become more and more automated. Look around there are currently driverless vehicles in mine sites, and the Metro to robot building houses (see Fast Brick Robotics). Mundane accounting and auditing work will be transformed and automated by AI. Even traditional sales will be automated. Stockbrokers are replaced by high frequency computer AI traders. No hard feelings its just to please the shareholders and the bottom line.
You will hear more and more about MMT (Modern Monetary Theory) in the media as young and old becomes unemployable and the wealth gap increases. Social and civil unrest becomes the norm, look at Hong Kong and in Chile and don't forget Venezuela.
