By the bus window, everything I’ve done feels separate.

Looking back at the road from the bus window, I’ve done a lot, but none of it seems useful for choosing a career.

Scenes

I’ve done a lot, but none of it connects. — Sitting by the bus window, I think back on clubs and short-term jobs. I remember each one, but none seems useful for a career.
I filled in where people were missing. — The day before a club event, the person in charge dropped out, so the young person listed what needed doing and shared the tasks in the group chat. The event went ahead as planned.
Write down what you did. — On the bus after the event, the young person recalls each thing they handled. They remember gathering people and filling in where help was needed, but aren’t sure what to call those skills.
What experiences have in common is what you did. — When considering a young person’s career path, look at the actions they repeated, not the names of their activities. Bringing people together and filling in where help was needed can be common threads between experiences.
Write down one thing that comes to mind today. — Tonight, write down one thing you did and what you took on at the time. Set it beside another experience, and you may spot the same action in both.
Next time, start with what you did. — Not every experience leads in the same direction. Still, the things you often took on can be useful to revisit when weighing your next choice.
