Where am I?

When I was much younger, I wished to grow up as quickly as possible. I was hooked on the prospect of making my own money and making my own decisions. At different points in my childhood, I had different dreams for my future. I could be anything or anyone. Whatever I dreamt was possible because it hadn't happened yet.

Clearly, this isn't a sob story about the disappointing reality of adulthood. It is more or less an examination of where I've been and where I am now.

I decided to study economics about six years ago. I was 13 years old and had just completed my junior secondary education. Back then, I barely even knew the laws of demand and supply. I just remember reading about the course on a university's website and thinking that it could be interesting. Now, six years on, I find myself potentially about to complete my undergraduate degree in Economics and faced with a dilemma. What do I do after graduation? What are my options?

Ideally, I would like to do a master's degree in finance. I know that much. But what comes after that? Of course, a job in finance would be the aim. But then again how? I am confident in my knowledge and ability but not really my lack of valuable work experience. I know that it is very much possible to get hired out of university without significant work experience but I am still going to do the best I can to gather experience ideally within my desired field. At this point, I am aware that all I can really do is my best. It is the uncertainty that scares me.
