THE PRESSURE TO HAVE YOUR WHOLE LIFE FIGURED OUT BEFORE GRADUATION.

THE PRESSURE TO HAVE YOUR WHOLE LIFE FIGURED OUT BEFORE GRADUATION

Choose a career. 
Know your passion. 
Have a five-year plan. 
Start making money. 
Build a successful future.
And somehow, you're expected to figure all of this out while you're still trying to pass your exams.

Many students feel pressured to know exactly what they want to become before graduation. But the truth is, life doesn't work like a school timetable.
People change careers.
 Discover new interests. 
Fail. 
Start again. 
Find themselves along the way.

Education should prepare students for the future, but it should also remind them that not having everything figured out is normal.
You don't need your entire life planned at 18.
Sometimes, you just need to know your next step.
