Same. I'm 37 and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, lol
I'm 37 too, I wanted to be a race car driver... I now sell auto parts. I hold the track record at my local go kart track, so that's something lol
Honestly pretty good outcome, you ended up somewhere close at least
5/10 years is only 6 months away, I'm just gonna wait it out and see
If an interviewer asks you what your five year plan is, tell them that you are intent on developing heavy industry by setting ambitious production targets and collectivizing agriculture. Scoff when they raise concerns about consumer goods and badly aligned economic incentives. Assure them that extractivism isn't a failed economic system at all. Your five year plan will win the space race.
Tell them that. Enjoy watching the blood drain from their face. Send them to the gulag if they don't hire you.
My glib response is always "doing your job" and then giving a real answer after.
If I had a nickel for every time I'd done exactly this in a job interview...
You'd be able to afford enough pick'n'mix for a swell time, hmu
As kid you still can believe something, as adult you know that reach something has nothing to do with beliving but mostly suffering and beg for some of luck.
My answer? Alive!
So far, so good.
