Need some career advice

Hello, My name is William, I’m 24 years old,british male from South Africa, I’m a bit confused what carreer or path I should follow.

Here is a bit about me.

I left S.A(Republic of South Africa) when I was 17 to go study and work in the UK, when I was 19 years old I became an assistant manager of a 85 Bedroom hotel, during this time I completed an NVQ in hotel management and food and beverage…but during this time I still studied at the university , I obtained my BA degree in Business economics and marketing when I was 21 years old, I worked as a marketing manager in a health club in scotland for about a year and a half. During this time I met a girl from poland, and we got married when I was 22 years old, main reason was because she wanted me to move to poland with her,… we are still happily married :) … the thing was when I moved to poland, it was hard as hell to find work, first of all I couldn’t speak the language, second of all I had no idea what to do. I searched on the internet and found an american company that was looking for an english native network administator, I had no idea what a network administrator was supose to do, so I applied for the possition, got the interview which was in 2 weeks time, so for about 2 weeks I googled and downloaded all info I could get on what a network was, how it works etc… I went to the interview passed the admittance test at 85 % which was really surprising.I got the job and I worked as a network administrator and support for about 6 months, but the downside was that it was all night shifts and the pay was really low for the position…

Then I started to teach english and earned 3 times what I earned as an administrator, so it went on quite well, I made a few contacts and then started teaching business skills, as I studied business economics and marketing…,,,about 2 years ago I got into graphic design and effects(mostly as a hobby) and really got very interested in it, so I learned photoshop, illistrator, indesign, and after effects by myself,,through tutorials and books. I done a few freelance contracts with firms all over the world.

I’m still doing business consulting as well as freelance designing.

But I feel that I need to lock down on something, and I need some advice.

I’m very good with people, I’m excellent at solving problems, I’ve got 128 IQ test result. I’m very active, I work out regularly, I’m very positive and motivated, I love taking risks and I welcome any challenge. I lear very quickly and I’m a logical thinker.

Please I would appreciate any advice

Thanks Will
