I'm really confused at the moment, I have my level 2 in health and social care but then decided I did not want to become a paramedic anymore but I noticed I had a passion about cars, so I started to study motor vehicle which I loved but now I'm qualified I'm second questioning myself is this what I want to do, I'm just so confused as I have no clue what I want to do, any advice on what I should do? I feel like I'm having midlife crisis

It’s ok to not know. It’s ok to have doubts. It’s ok to change your mind. In fact all of those things are completely normal at any age (we are human after all!)
You do not need to know what you want to do for your whole life. You have done the right things so far (had an idea, learned more about it, reassessed if you still want to do it and then retrained) Obviously you don’t want to always keep changing your mind before working much so just do your mechanics thing for a bit (a few months or years depending on how much you like it) and then reassess things again. Perhaps you will get into it and stick with it. Perhaps you will like your colleagues, earn some money, spend or save that money and enjoy the next couple of years. Perhaps a new opportunity or plan will rear its head and you will move on to something else. All of that is ok! Some people always know what they wanted to do and go out and do it for the rest of their lives but most people don’t 😂 They work their way through life and often ‘fall’ into a job. Try not to fall into unemployment but other than that enjoy the process of learning more about yourself, other people and work. Living life is a great education and you are just newly enrolled! Roll with it
Ps. I’m 45, have lived my whole life not knowing where I will b in 5 years, still don’t know what I will be doing in 5 years time and yet I have managed to own my own home, have a family, made a few fully trusted friends, lived a good life and been mostly very happy. I hope things continue like this over the next 20 years or so of my working life (whatever jobs I end up doing)!
