I am 26F ( canadian). I have just finished exploring a short trades program for free..it was 16 weeks and you dipped your toes in a bunch of trades, unfortunately I didnt really like any of them besides potentially idk electrical was kinda cool but we only hooked up a light bulb and there was a natural resources environmental technology program( only because they said it would be fun and outside classes lol ), or maybe even heavy equipment operator ( sitting on my ass all day would suck) . With finishing and passing this program, I have a guaranteed seat to college ( will not have to be put on a wait list. Get above other candidates).

I am so stressed and keep finding issues or reasons as to why I wouldnt like working in any area of any of the programs. I have applied to natural resources environmental technology but I am worried about demand and pay...unfortunately both dont seem fantastic. I am tempted to scrap all of my ideas and just do business admin or something because I just keep finding things I feel like I wouldnt like.

I have a really good job right now ( like set up for life wise) I work on a boat, $32.00 an hour ( without even having to go to college), 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, i get benefits, pension, everything i could ever want....however I am absolutely fucking miserable there and there are other paths I could take on the boat but I dont want any of those either...I hate that I hate my job but I really would like to pivot to something else and im so stressed to make the wrong choice that I cant even make a choice. Its like there is not right path, I just want to be comfortable making good money, traveling as much as i could be, being happy or content, ( and this job gives me all of that, i know its a good job but I just hate it).

I love to learn new things, I do not want night shifts, I dont think i wanna be sitting for a full 8-12 hours straight, I dont want a mind numbing job, I would like to use my Brain a bit, maybe help people or feel like I am doing something meaningful and impactful ( without a heavy amount of socializing or well more like customer service)

I am just looking for idk opinions, advise...if anyone has a similar story and the direction they have took. I know i am complaining about an already good job I have its just I would love to actually be content with my job, I know some people like their job or enjoy it most days. Idk any positive help would be appreciated, advice, opinions, other short degrees or programs I could maybe look into..

Thank you for reading 📚 ❤️
