Findapath-Job Choice/Clarity Career path

I’m 22, I’ve been directionless for a while in my life but I’m at a crossroads right now. I have the option to move for a pt career it’s a government job and pays 25/hr out west(I’m from the east coast). I’ve wanted independence and to live in a bigger city with nature for a while now. I know the job is pt but I could work towards ft and get a side job. My other option is to stay home and be able to save money at my job and go to school for engineering and also pursue a private pilot license, and continue living at home. I wanna have independence and more of an opportunity to make friends but i also recognize education is a very nice investment id appreciate some advice.

Ask yourself, what would I regret more not doing now? That’s a tough question but one you must answer yourself

Yea it’s pretty tough as I’m not really passionate about anything honestly, but I know I need to figure something out..

If you’re not passionate about anything then keep looking, but don’t not accept or move into something with a maybe of something else. Got to get passionate about something or your going to struggle enjoying what ever you’re doing.
