Hey, Workie!

CORPORATE BANTS
What Do You Want To Be?
Typically when we’re little and people ask us what we want to be when we’re older people say things like Singer, Actor or for a select few Lawyer or Doctor. It was so easy back in the day to just speak on any career path and say you wanted to purse it but the older you get, the more thought has to be put into it.
Nigeria, doesn’t make it any easier because here, schools tend to squeeze us in a box before we’re even old enough to know what we want and they expect us to just follow that path until something sticks.
I just want to reiterate that if you’re done with school, or almost done with school and you still aren’t sure what exactly you want to do with your life in terms of a career you’re seen and heard, and it’s normal.
There’s no imaginary bell that just dings one day and you know exactly what road you want to take and that’s okay.
You just need to analyze yourself and ask yourself what sounds like something you could see yourself doing consistently and whether you have capacity to do it.
