The biggest questions you need to answer are these:
What holds my interest most between the three? Rank them.
What do I excel at most from best to least?
What is the current market and projected growth? Rank them from most promising to least.
Now you’re armed with facts. You know what you like. What you’re good at. And have information on its future outlook.
Then research the industry. What’s happening. How its changed. What they expect in the coming years. It won’t look the same when you’re there.
My daughter is a talented writer. She wrote stories at an early age and started writing lyrics at 12. I nurtured her talent. She took as many writing classes as she could in high school and college. She went beyond her comfort zone and studied different forms to enhance her proficiency. It wasn’t for naught.
Now she’s a wellness coach and blogger. All she required was instruction in health. She had the other in tow. She makes a living selling her knowledge. So do I.
You have to answer the questions before you can put a plan in place. There’s many ways to accomplish a goal. Sometimes the obvious one isn’t best. But you won’t know until you figure things out.
I had her put things on hold to pursue entrepreneurship. Including school. She accepted less lucrative work to free up time for the main thing. It’s easier to make sacrifices when you’re at home and don’t have the responsibilities of marriage and family.
That went on the back burner too. Learn all you can in this season. While life is simple and less complicated. Take the classes. Go to camps and groups that share your interests.
Milk these moments. They’ll never come again. It’s significantly harder later on. You’ll have more demands. I left the workforce at a young age. But she bested me by five years.
Her plate was empty. She could pursue her dreams relentlessly. She wasn’t obligated elsewhere. That’s why I had her delay the rest. To smooth her path. And it paid off.
Commit everything to prayer. Ask the Lord to order your steps and lead you to the place He has in mind. And follow Him. Doors will open. Knowledge will come. Connections will arise. I’ve lived it.
Good luck.
