That stage of life is pretty difficult work-wise. Up until then most people’s lives have been on rails: go to school, do exams, go to university, do exams. Now you’ve got all this choice, but also the idea that the “wrong” choice will affect your life in a negative way.
My advice is just to try out lots of things. At this age you’re not locked into anything, you can spend a few years doing something, decide you don’t want to keep doing it, and it’s not time wasted. I’m 35 and I’ve got friends my age who are changing careers now. You’ll never know if a career is “for you” until you’ve tried it.
I have one friend who got divorced. It was difficult for him since it was during COVID and their 2-year-old daughter was involved, but now he’s thriving and super well-adjusted. I think some people just refuse to come to terms with things beyond their control (namely the people in the pic).
