Explore means connecting people, listen to the wisdom of people that has gone through stages of life, you might take their career path as a guide. Do not copy! Since the work world is ever changing, some jobs are then eliminated by technology and some emerge because of new needs.
Not everyone knows what they want to be for the next couple of years, so people hop on and off jobs from time to time, and it is fine to wander around as long as you understands the trade off. For example, Susan has been working in a company as a researcher for 3 years, she will be promoted if she is going to grow with the company for the next 6 months. She decided to resign from the job and took a working holiday permit to fly to New Zealand and spend about a year there. To her, it make sense to her since she understands that she a researcher as a career is not something she wanted.
Nevertheless, sharing with people your goals helps to clarify your career goal through the process. Never worried too much if it is a silly career goal, wisdom will guide you.
