Your 20s are full of big career decisions—and just as many doubts. Am I on the right path? Should I pivot? Why do I feel stuck? How do I figure out what I actually want?
If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, you’re not alone. This blog is a space for young professionals figuring out their careers—sharing advice, insights, challenges, and real experiences that don’t always have a straight answer.
Why “45 Miles An Hour”?
I wanted a name that reflects what this blog is all about—a steady, intentional career journey. 45 miles an hour isn’t the fastest speed, but it’s not slow either. It’s the kind of pace that keeps you moving forward, making progress without burning out.
In a world that glorifies hustle and instant success, this blog is about embracing a sustainable career journey. One where growth doesn’t have to be rushed, and success is defined on your own terms.
What You’ll Find Here
- Career advice for young professionals navigating their first jobs.
- Insights on making career choices and dealing with uncertainty.
- Personal experiences & reflections on common career dilemmas.
- Lessons from books, experts, and real-world experiences.
This isn’t a place for one-size-fits-all, expert-level advice. It’s a real-time conversation about career growth, pivots, and figuring things out as we go. Some posts will offer advice, others will raise questions that many of us are quietly struggling with. Either way, the goal is to make navigating your career feel a little less isolating.
Who’s This For?
If you’re in your early career—whether you love your job, feel lost, or are somewhere in between—this blog is for you. Whether you’re trying to find direction, balance ambition with burnout, or just figure out what success really looks like for you, we’re all figuring it out together.
Why This Blog?
I started this blog because I love writing, and because I know I’m not the only one trying to navigate career uncertainty. The pressure to have everything figured out, to chase the “perfect” career path, or to know your passion right away—it’s overwhelming.
I’m in my mid-20s, asking myself the same questions. My career so far has been dynamic, unexpected, and doesn’t align with what I once thought I’d be doing. That feeling of Did I make the right choices? Should I be doing something else? is something I know firsthand.
Instead of pretending to have all the answers, I’m here to explore the questions. To share things I’ve learned, things I’ve tested, and the struggles that don’t always get talked about. If you’re in the same boat, you’re not alone.
