I mean, the first step is to find a career.

The first step to doing that is to figure out what you might like. The best way to do this is to talk to people who work in roles you think sound interesting. You would be surprised how many people are willing to take a half hour to talk with you about their job if you just cold email them. That said, people you know are much more likely to say yes.

A lot of these conversations will also come with various recommendations for you to pursue and may even directly lead to a job opportunity. This kind of networking is the key to finding a good job.

Thank you for the response, I have realised the last few years how important knowing people, and engaging in more than small talk, is already a networking starting point. I spent my early 20's crippled by anxiety to leave the house where, and only now do I understand that, by just approaching people and creating relationships, creates potential for opportunities.

Thank you for the advice for talking to people who work in certain roles, I haven't really thought about this one.
