Is There a Career Path That Leads You Down That Path?

i really looked up to my dad growing up, and i think very naturally, that led to me wanting to be an academic. After college, i applied for grad school and also this grant that ended up taking me to greece. And a after greece, i had deferred my grad school acceptance, so that was what i did next. For the first time in my life, i really had no idea whati wanted, or or what i wanted to do next.
