I’ve seen this with models, by the time they’re 22 they have lived in multiple countries, travelled on their own, in all the most classic and “romantic” places that they and other people have aspired to merely visit, and also been around all designers and shows that they dreamed of.
They’re not even at the place where they’re worried about needing to pivot professions, they’ve just done their aspirations - other people’s aspirations - and are left wondering whats next.
They pivot, go back to school. Find something new to be passionate about. Take the office job they thought they would hate but suddenly find it fulfilling.
For us obviously these are the basics: an “office job” lol.
But the concept is similar, adjusting learning something new. Its not just about aspiring for new experiences for yourself, there can be other fulfilling things that are repetitive where you dont really have to one-up yourself, just do it differently. Like art, festivals.
- brazzy 6y agoI've read something quite similar in a "where are they now?" article about a team that won the soccer world cup 30 years earlier. These guys had bagged the highest possible achievement in their field, most in their 20s. Now what? Most tried to stay in the field and go the coach/management route. One actually managed to get to a second world cup as head coach and place second. Several languished as coaches of lower league teams, clearly unhappy (or at least the article portrayed them so). Some became TV commentators. Only one left the sport behind completely, invested his money and lived in the USA.
