It's been 3 years ever since I got to know about all the things that I could've done other than choosing engineering. Surely I didn't have balls back then and I told myself that I would explore all the possible domains be it tech/des/marketing/finance/operations. It's been two years in uni now and I really don't know what I can count on. I know a bunch of things but don't know a thing enough to make something out of it.
I moved to blr thinking that I would get the city exposure but I am usually caught up in uni things(it's an excuse, I am barely studying). Days are just passing by and everyday this thought bugs me at the back of my mind that even though I am capable enough of doing it, why haven't I done it yet? It's not that I'm chilling or partying, I am just caught up in this vicious cycle where I want to get started working on something fulfilling yet haven't found a way yet to do so.
I can go on with the usual engineering path and sit for placements and get that avg or little more than that package but I think that CTC doesn't move me, rather doing something fulfilling and meaningful does. I wish that I could really mean it when I say that I want to do something where I enjoy the process, the daily-to-do-tasks and not the end goal/ paycheck.
I've had this idea of working at startups and exploring different domains/departments and figuring out what is the right thing for me; a domain where I bring the best out of me and feel fulfilled as well. Now I certainly cannot do this by signing up for courses that I will never complete, I would rather prefer to work under someone and learn things as I do them. Haven't mailed/reached out any founders yet. Help me in navigating a bit and I will forever be indebted to you.
Have summer break next month, July-Aug. Lmk if you've got anything to say or to direct so that I do something about what has been bothering me in the next month.

Try taking up internships in varied domains. Something may click. It’s also much easier to secure internships. You’ll also learn a great deal about your work ethic etc, something college doesn’t expose you to
I agree, but who would want to give an internship to a second year uni student who doesn't even know a skill that he is sure of? and I am not aware of where to get started as in where to look for and what are the possible places where I can apply.
come on grapevine users' i trust in 6 degrees of separation, y'all gotta help me out
