I think it's not so much that you don't know what you want to do, it's that you want to do too many things. I was told when I was in high school that the average person changes their career---not their job, their career--three times in their life, and that gifted kids change more often than that. That was more than twenty years ago, and it's even more true now.\n\nI had a friend who wanted to be an art major, but she couldn't afford the paints. Then she wanted to be a biology major, but ended up in political science instead. Even though she was a talented artist and could have been a scientist, she ended up being a high-ranking government official instead. Now she travels to Russia on an official government passport to help them keep track of their nuclear fuel. \n\nI have a BA in one subject, a master's in another, and a graduate certificate in a third. Come to think of it, I'm one research paper shy of a graduate certificate in a fourth subject. I should finish that one day. \n\nAnd I think it's safe to say I've had my fair share of career changes. There was a time in my life when my desire to expand my horizons drove my career decisions. Now, I'm at a time in my life where I want to be more settled and permanent. \n\nAt this time of your life, you shouldn't be trying to narrow yourself down to one career. You should be thinking about the top three, five, ten. I bet you'll find most of them need a college degree. \n\nAnd there are colleges for brilliant people who want to study everything. They're called liberal arts colleges, and most of the students in them take a long, long time to decide what to study. I changed my major three years after I graduated! I loved going to a liberal arts college and studying so many different subjects. You will, too.

that depends on what your idea of fun is..... like for me i like to do something in which i can help people out so im deciding to do social welfare..... thats fun for me but may not be fun for some  other people .....\nu shud do what interests u ... that way u'll have fun....\ngo for something u like and wanna do .... \nso if u really want to be an interior designer ..... go for it... u'll find fun in it \nif u're still undecided u can take a quiz to find out which career to choose

well i agree with some of the answers - decide what motivates you. i am not talking about what you would like to do but think about what puts a smile on ur face or what would be your  dream job... then draw out a plan how u can go about doing it. \n\ni will give you my example. i struggled through university in a degree i didnt like for a profession that everyone respects but i couldnt give a toss about. so anyhow - i decided what really motivated me was money but a whole lot of corporateness - u know doing deals and stuff. so i looked at what jobs would fit that... and then decided to try the one that i thought was most exciting.\n\nu know what would 'motivate' you. go out there and find the job/career/industry that would give you those things.

Same problem..so I hear ya.  I also however, don't have the determination to get in there do my thing in school and finish it out.  The best thing I did as an eye opener was make an appointment to talk to one of the counselors at the school.  They did assessments with me, and tests to see what I was good at and in and what I would do awful to be in.  This narrowed out things..and brought things to light that I probably shouldn't do when I actually considered or tried them before (no wonder they didn't work).  So in the end I was left with a much smaller number of career/school choices to research more and choose from.  We even talked about things in my personal life that may interfere or why I felt the way I did about school.  It helped me out tremendously..good luck!

Think of something that you like to do as a hobby or for fun in free time.  Then apply that to something you can do as a career.  EX.  If you like pictures... think about being a photographer.  If you like children... think about being a teacher.  \nHere is a site that might help you in your more in depth search.  There is just not enought room and I dont know you to advise any more than that... its all about what YOU like. \nhttp://careerplanning.about.com/od/occupations/a/career_briefs.htm

i do not really know.  i have two goals:  to be a teacher, or a shrink dealing with kids.  i LOVE kids.  i absoletutly LOVE them.  especially the younger ones.  but i know that teaching doesnt pay well.  and also i feel like i think a lot.  about the world, and everything, the way ppL act, stuff like that, so i think i want to become a shrink.  if i could i would be a psychologist working with kids.  other than that, i don't really know as of yet..\n\nage 16

I guess I decided when I got out of High School.\n\nIts not something I dreamed of doing. Its just something I enjoy doing. Something that makes me happy. You have to find something that makes you feel good about yourself and you really enjoy doing it or otherwise your gonna drop it halfways. \n\nI decided I wantede to become a gourmet chef and am trying to get into a Culinary Arts school.\nI enjoy cooking and it benefits others because poeple enjoy eating good food and they got to eat to survive.

I guess I have done that.  I have always liked to talk...I have always liked to make people laugh... I turned that into a pretty nice little career in radio.  True, I do have a B.A. Degree in Communication Studies/Radio, TV, And Film, but there are a number of people in broadcasting that have never set foot into a university classroom.  There are a lot of places that say they "prefer" applicants to at least have some college. On the other hand, some places will accept "Real World" experience in that particular field as enough to qualify you for employment.  Just remember, Very few people working today can actually say they love the job they currently have, or even expected to be working in the industry that they currently are.  Sometimes it comes down to what you need to do to survive.  But if you have a dream to do something, with your life, you have to at least give it a shot.  If you make it.... fantastic!  But if you dont make it, at least you tried, and will not have to live with "What if I tried" looming over you for the rest of your life.

What are you talking about. Study what you feel you would be good at and could live with doing for a while.

Look at a list of careers. Like a HUGE list. Cross off anything that you would never do. Then look at whats left... figure out what kind of education you need for the ones that appeal to you. Then logically think about what options are actually something you feel strong enough about to pursue them.\n\nI'm always very jealous of those who know exactly what they want to do and are driven to pursue it. I've switched though 4 majors in the past four years and still have no idea what I want to do.

During high school and after I was really caught up with friends and partying and you sort of lose yourself in that.  The way I found what I really wanted to do was by thinking of what I wanted to be when I was a kid.  Try not to think of money and think of a passion that you have and just go for it.   Also spend more time with your family that can sometimes help you to realize where you come from and who you really are.

I dropped out, went to work, got my credit , bought my stuff then had to work and pay it off and it is never ending..I wished I had not dropped out and stayed with it..as far as a Major..well that is a tuffy...You won't really know what you want until you experience more of life..all you can do is pick something and hang in until you see something that strikes your fancy..any advanced formal education is a zillion times better than none..Check out some testing to see where your interest are and then maybe pursue education leading to something you like and enjoy doing..A degree will get your foot in the door, now sell yourself, you can always go for a masters later on..It's ok to take a break but don't get bogged down in the silly, unimportant stuff..DON'T STAY AWAY FROM YOUR EDUCATION TO LONG...or you might never go back..Good Luck to you, take care and you'll find your niche!

i quiet agree to support u to go for it. because it is meaningless if u doing the work that u don't interest in and maybe u will find it is boring to do that the job u don't  interest in. i have the same problem as u when i need to decide between my interest and another course that give me more job opportunity and finally i decide to go for it and no having any doubt. that's all i am going to say for you.i wish u good luck.

do you have a degree to back this all up? with out the degree you wont get where you want or even deserve to be.\n\nIf you have your degree then go to a collage or training program and ask for the "job test" it is where you sit and answer a million questions, then they put your answers in the computer and the computer tells you where you would be good at. Then you can find a job in what your best at.\n\nif you dont have a degree, then consider school for another 4 years and get your degree, you should complete it fairly fast if you already know it all.\n\nGood luck.

The truth is you have a really good start on that career if you should try to enter the field.  If you like what you have seen so far and enjoy working with people and pleasing them, then maybe it is a good choice for you.
