at a loss for what to do with my life. need your ideas reddit.

ok, a quick rundown.

  • 24/f living in sydney
  • high achiever in high school, did well across the board, esp in maths and science
  • went to uni, got BSc (physics) with a high credit average
  • joined the air force, trained as a pilot, discharged over an injury
  • traveled europe for about a year
  • came back and, flat broke, took the first job that came along. a fundraiser in a charity call centre. worked my way up in the company over the next 18 months to a position in higher management. realised the corporate world is f*ing filthy and gtfo.
  • was accepted into uni next year to do a masters in engineering, but that seems to have fallen through due to a technicality i have no control over.

question: what do i do now?

i'm passionate about science, technology, people and communities. willing to study again, or to go straight back into work. i am intelligent, a fast learner and a passionate worker, but creep out at the first sign of corporate bullshit. i crave integrity more than anything. i don't need a ton of money, i just need to feel that i'm doing something stimulating and worthwhile. i'm an INTP if that makes any difference.

any ideas would be great, reddit. i've racked my brain and am stuck.

thank you <3
