Can I build a career at 24 years of age?

Category: Other

Hi, as the title says, I'm 24 years old, and terrified of getting to old to do anything with my life. I quit studying music at University after failing 3 years of it and now work at an insurance brokers which I hate. I have no idea what I want to do with my life, but if I had to name my passions, it would be Art, Comic books, Architecture and video games.

Is it too late to do something that I'm passionate about, and where could I start? University is out of the question now as I'm currently in a lot of debt and living in a house with my girlfriend.

Thanks

You should continue with your current job (to get some money ) but at the same time should also give time to refine your hobbies as Art is always in demand so keep improving it and try to showcase whenever possible via yourself or your closer one ( let them know what you want to do so that they can eagerly help you ). I am sure very soon you will get a good job of your passion and at 24 is not too late as when you start working for your Goal ( dreams ) is best time . Keep on Good luck HTH .

Keep working your job and making money, but develop a few hobbies that would help you ease the boredom. Then, try taking courses at a community college. It's never too late to start a career.
