How to pick a career? how did you pick your career?

How do you pick a career when you are 32, have no experience or interests?

• I don't have any real interests other than music and it flat out DOES NOT PAY. I am lucky to pay my bills every month. There is no future in it for me. I don't have much interest but need to go to a school. How to you choose a career when nothing interests you? I don't mean that in a lazy way.....I mean it in a real factual way. lol

• Answer:

  My cousin struggled for many years playing music at i.e. low end clubs, weddings, etc. He finally enrolled in college and became a elementary music teacher then moved to a high school teacher. Therefore he was able to still have a career in the field he loved. If you want to stay in the field you love there are options below but might require further training/education..
