Refusing to choose is a choice.
Excerpt: “The upsetting implication, and why I sometimes avoid recognizing my own agency, is that if I have a choice, then what I’m doing is actually what I chose to be doing. This can be kind of upsetting for one’s self-image.”
It's all obvious in hindsight.
I had a very detailed career plan when I started my first job in oil and gas. In fact, the company encouraged us to make these plans. Then they'd make their own plans for you. It was probably only possibly because the rate of change there continues to reduce… at least with regards to the things that are important for career planning.
5 years later, I don't have a career plan. I feel liberated.
