Is it normal to not know what work i should do
so my dad is quite successful and making a decent amount of money to pay for 3 people's worth of university tuition.
I just finished my entrance test for university and waiting for the results, but I don't know what I should do if I fail.
My dad is amazing and wants his kids to get jobs that are skill related (I mean jobs that are not office work, lawyers, Artists etc. for example).
He always told me how he doesn't want me to work a 9 to 5 jobs because he knows that it would be stressful and would not pay that well.
If I didn't get accepted to university I'm planning to work, maybe mcdonalds or doordash etc. since I only have a highschool degree I want to try applying for jobs in companies, who knows maybe I can get a job somewhere.
My dad would of course, probably be against this decision, I know that if I fail to get into university he's probably gonna put me in a private university( Expensive as hell, I don't want that).
My dad is already 60 years old, I want to start pulling my weights immediately and help out. but on the grand scheme of things, a salary from mcdonalds, or maybe a small job ain't gonna help much.
I want my dad to retire but without me getting a job that pays enough for mortgages and such, this will just be a dream.
please enlighten me, I'm very naïve and new to the adult world.
