A career autobiography has to be one of the most interesting and thoughtful essays I’ve had to write so far. I am 17 years old and am attending my first semester in college. I look forward to getting good grades, opening up my mind to new things, and eventually graduating. However, I have absolutely no idea what I want to be doing in the future. My indecisiveness is so intense that I change my future career every other day. At this point in life, my family, advisors, and professors are telling me that I don’t need to know what I want to be doing for a living, yet I feel that I should know.

From that point on, I became very involved with the paperwork and the health of my grandma.

I just don’t know whether I am fit to be one. Tying it all back to the beginning of my piece, professors and advisors tell me that I don’t have to know what I want to be, but the idea of wanting to know and using my time wisely makes me …show more content…

In the next five years, I see myself doing my absolute best to get through the difficult courses and searching for that right door to my future career. My life greatly connects to the Holland Code because with such qualities of being social, enterprising, investigative, and artistic, I see myself pushing to get experience in various fields in order to find what I am destined to be. Currently, I don’t have a gap that exists between my ideal work environment and my current reality. In the future, however, I could definitely see how trying to balance work, school, and family will be a challenge, but I am not afraid because if others have done it, so can
