Forget college for now. You can always return in a few years if you see the need. The real education is out there... Travel, live in islands, take trains, etc... there is plenty of work in lots of wonderful places. Explore and find yourself. Many people wish that they were doing something else. how do you know what you want your whole life to be, you have only seen 18 years (about i'm guessing). Live for a few years and discover who you really are... That is the path to happiness later in life...

Anything can bring you a bright future and it all depends on you!  I think that if you really like what you are studying and you have the passion for that, you will be successful!  Good Luck!

Try out a computer programme called 'adult directions' - it's available to use at colleges and careers centres. You put in your qualifications and then answer lots of questions about what you like and don't like doing. From that it gives you lots of ideas about different jobs you might not have thought of.\n\nMe, by the way, I work in a supported housing project for 16-24 year olds and I really like it.

That will really depend on you. Mechanical will be a good start. See what else you really like, talk to a guidance counselor to start getting headed in the right direction. If you don't like their answer, talk to a different one. There are lots of engineering jobs but again, Mechanical should get you ready for a very wide array of careers.

You might try IOSCAR; it's free.  It asks you questions and suggests occupations based on your interests, knowledge, skills, and abilities.  It also has a lot of information on opportunities in different occupations.

Here is an exercise I use to help make a career map. This will help you figure out what will make you happy, then you can work on figuring out how to connect what you have done with where you want to go.\n\nI tried to past it here but it gets all wonky - so I put the link below.

You may not know what you want to do but it is likely you know what you DON'T want to do.  That is a beginning.  Next take a look at what you do with your spare time.  What hobbies are you interested in.  Computers? Photography? Games? Stamp or Card Collecting?  Look for an association between your 'hobby' and what could possibly be your 'career'.  There are many jobs/careers out there that you may not have thought about before.  You know what you don't like.. you are half way there!

basketball, they are good this year, and probably national champions. Talk to your high school counselor, that is what they are paid for.

if i were you i would visit a career center on a local college campus.  you shouldnt base your major on a subject that you dont like, but rather on a subject you DO like.  a career center can give you tests that take your interests and put them into a career that is taylored to what you enjoy doing.\n\nalso - just a heads up... ALLLLLLL majors require 2-3 math classes, so just do what you like... if you are spending the time to get a degree, get one that you want.  make sure that you are picking something that you want to do :)\n\ngood luck!

you'll probably never be 100% sure what you want to do with your life. pick something you are interested in and work hard at it. if you end up hating it, there's nothing wrong with changing your mind later!  good luck!

whatever u know and love... do that... you should do what you think you would do best. if you like art, i would recommend art therapy. you could also simply major in psychology.\n it's all about what makes u you. \ni would suggest that you pick something that suits your needs. \nif u like something, go with that. don't pick the thing that someone tells you to just b/c they think that is what you should do and what you would make money with. do what makes you happy = ]

Neither do I!  But here are some resources that can help:\n\nThink about what you like to study at school - languages, science, business, technology, history? Talk to your teacher and find out what career options are available.\n\nThink about what kind of person you are: are you analytical (research), social (working with people), an entrepreneur, an idealist, a risktaker, creative? \n\nThink about people you admire/like to read about: what are their professions? Is there anyone in your circle of family/friends who does something you're interested in? Ask them if you can follow them around for a day.\n\nThere are numerous tests on the internet, and I'd use these as a guide only. So just to cite one example - MAPP, which is 'free', asks questions about your motivations and comes up with a top 5 of career choices - they are useful, because they also point you to additional sources of info, current demand, suitable schools. (you do end up on their mailing list, so maybe create another email address if you don't want your main inbox cluttered):\n http://www.assessment.com/\n\nAnother option is: http://www.livecareer.com/\n\nAlso, have a look at these job profiles - descriptions from people about what they actually DO:\nhttp://www.jobprofiles.org/index.htm\n\nFinally, if you already have a tertiary school/institute in mind, talk to their career service: they should have resources on different careers, what employers are looking for, what careers and studies suit your interests.\n\nAbove all, choose something YOU enjoy - it will be easier to concentrate on your studies and will probably have a positive impact on your grades.

Is there a guidance counselor or a trusted teacher you can speak with?  You could also try to speak with the school nurse.\nAre there any clubs at your school you could get involved with after school, or maybe a sport you could play?  If would give you a chance to get out of the house a bit and maybe make some new friends and develop some new interests.\nI hope it works out for you.

well almost every college has these things in some shape or form. Best suggestion talk to your High school counselor and she will help guide you to a school with the best options for what you want to do. Most of your big state universities are excellent in science, tech and architecture however. yahoo also has a college section so you can research schools there.

Unfortunately passions don't always translate well into careers.  If you are about to finish college, then I would suggest trying out a few jobs and see which ones fit you.  There is no reason why you must choose a job and stick with it for the rest of your life.  Once you have a good idea what the jobs are really like (and they are almost never what you imagine them to be) then you can settle into a career.  But always remember that you should love your job, if you hate it, you need a different job (not necessarily a different career, just a different job).  And it's ok to not be able to make up your mind, your life ends up being more interesting.  And you can politely remind everyone to mind their own business, it's your life and you have to live it.
