Honestly didn’t know much about what I wanted to do. When I was really young I wanted to be a cop. Thank GOD I didn’t follow that. I grew up doing theater and thought I wanted to be an actor and tried hard but realized I hated auditioning and isn’t want a life of that.

But I’ve always been interested in tech and tinkering and found a job doing technical theater installing sound and light systems, running tech for musicals and such and it’s my favorite thing in the world.

Follow your passions. Whatever things you find fun and exciting I’m sure there’s a career out there for you. Try and put yourself out there and try anything that sounds remotely interesting and you’ll find what you’re looking for.
