I realize that this whole post can sound very privileged; I am grateful for all the opportunities that I've been given and the fact that I can even worry about these issues! I've been going down a spiral of forums and career paths websites, not the most healthy thing, and would like some guidance as a young professional looking at their whole life ahead of them and feeling so lost, as many do.
For some background, I'm a fairly recent grad with a GPA of ~2.6 with a molecular biology major (with some CS experience too) from a competitive/highly ranked school, and I've been lucky enough to secure a job recently (after many months of searching during COVID). All sounds good, but I don't really enjoy my job (it being more administrative but still in a science environment), and I'm in a place where I am trying to figure out future career paths.
I struggled a lot in college, partially because of personal circumstances/mental issues and partially because it was just plain difficult to adjust to such a rigorous school. Most times my main goal was to maintain my health and to pass my classes, while all my friends were aiming for As. It just feels that my 4 years in college, despite being a more prestigious school, came to a waste and closed more doors rather than open more opportunities, like it was supposed to. I know after a few years out of college, GPA doesn't matter anymore--the problem is, the tentative career paths I would like to go down all put a huge focus on GPA as they all include some kind of higher education (physical assistant, physical therapist, professor). I don't want to go down a path that will ultimately end in failure, but I don't want to also give up before trying if there's a chance.
I know I'm young and I have my whole life ahead of me, but I still can't get over the fact that I feel so lost, especially as someone who hasn't quite found what excites them. It feels very hopeless in this age of where I have to balance just taking any job that will pay the bills, versus taking that risk and finding a job that I can enjoy and be passionate about (I am an INFP, which might explain why this is such a big deal to me). They day-to-day monotony of my job is starting to weigh on me, which is not a great thing for my depression either.
If you were in any similar situation, how did you overcome that knowledge knowing that some paths are closed to you (how did you overcome those difficulties), how did you end up finding a job you are passionate about anyways, or how do you get yourself through jobs that aren't exciting?
I'll take any advice or encouragements here, thanks for bearing with this lost, immature, dumb young recent grad (only partially joking) and for reading this far.
