I feel quite lost and confused about my future at the moment, and I honestly don’t know which direction to take in life.

I am currently in my third year of B.Com, and as graduation is approaching, I feel pressured to figure out what I want to do next. I am confused about which postgraduate degree or career path I should choose. There are certain courses and degrees that I genuinely want to pursue, but the financial constraints make them difficult to afford. At the same time, I am unable to figure out which alternative options would be more affordable and worthwhile in the long run.

Currently, I am doing an internship in finance and accounts, but I am not sure whether this field is right for me. I don’t particularly enjoy the work, nor do I find it interesting enough to see myself building a career in it. I have been thinking about exploring marketing instead, but despite trying, I haven’t been able to find the right internship opportunity to get started in that field.

The biggest problem is that I feel stuck between too many possibilities. I keep thinking about what I should do, which course I should pursue, which career would be right for me, and whether I am making the wrong decisions. Sometimes, I feel like I am just wasting my time being confused instead of actually working towards something.

I genuinely want to build a good career, become financially independent, and do something that I enjoy, but I don’t know where to begin or how to make the right choices with the financial limitations I have.

I would really appreciate some honest guidance on where I might be going wrong, how I should approach this phase of my life, and what practical steps I can take to figure out my interests, explore different career options, and make a realistic decision about my future.

Talking about mindset, everything takes its time and also figuring things out. So do not blame yourself because you are not wasting time thinking, you will eventually figure things out and I am sure you will choose the one were you are happy to wake up every morning to. And practically, I know some courses that help and are easy to do, they were recommended by my University teacher, the web is Coursera.org
Hope this helps :D
