I’m looking for any insightful advice as to what anybody else would do if they were in my position. Here is some backstory first I am 21 years old about to start my senior year in college. Thus I will be graduating next May. My bachelor’s will be in journalism, and I have an associate’s in communication. I got into college interested in these majors wanting to become something along the lines of a sports analyst, a reporter, news anchor, etc. Then my junior year came and my passion for what I thought I loved died out. I just could not see myself doing all that as a career, and rather than changing my major I am now more focused in related areas such as advertising, marketing, and sales. I plan on completing my degree and hopefully obtaining a job in one of the fields I just mentioned.
However, the reason I want to get a job in one of those areas though is to not build a career. I don’t have aspirations to be a best advertiser, or the greatest to ever do it at marketing, or the best salesman out there. I want to just simply continue saving money to be able to go into a venture of my own (and to apply for loans and such to make said ventures easier to get into you need to have steady income).
I do not believe I have found anything I extremely excel at, nor anything I am extremely passionate about. I have likes and hobbies though like everyone else. In today’s world there are so many business opportunities just waiting on me and everybody else to be a part of.
Some ideas I’ve had are trying to open a business (possibly a gym maybe a cannabis dispensary), flipping cars, investing in a rental home(s), maybe some sort of E-Commerce deal (or something along those lines), and even possibly trying to flip houses. The problem with this is the amount of capital it takes to start. Which is why i mentioned loans earlier. At this moment I have about 25k in my life savings with about 15k that would be available at this very moment to dive into something.
Like I said earlier I have full intent on completing my degree with this being my final year. I guess the advice I am looking for is l, should I be looking at jobs to start a career to save up like I mentioned upon graduating, or should I start possibly looking into some of the ventures I have mentioned and making it a reality, or both?
I apologize about any grammar mistakes, and wandering thoughts. I wrote this on the fly. Thank you for your time!
