Don't stress out about it. When the right opportunity comes along, you'll know!

You have time to make up your mind. Talk to your school counselor. What are some things that interest you in school, like classes or sports or hobbies? Talk with some other people as well. You do not need to go to college the minute you get out of High School. Sometimes it is even a good idea to go to a Community College as a Liberal Arts Major to get yourself into the college atmosphere and get an idea of what might interest you. All in all, just do what you feel most comfortable doing, and try and talk with some other people about your future.

Do you have a job?  Or are you going to college?  I would suggest going away for college, at least 20 minutes away.  Your parents will physically have less control over you because you will be on your own and be able to do as you wish.  You will also meet tons of people in college and obviously it is good way to find yourself and figure out what kind of career you want.  You are 19, a legal adult.  You have every right to make your own decisions now.  The sooner you break away, the sooner your *own* life can start.  Good luck!

university. more and more decent jobs these days are lookin for someone with a college (university) education.\n\nor you could always learn a trade, i guess, but you would be limiting yourself to that for a while.\n\ni suggest talking to an academic/career counselor for specifics. they are very helpful people, trust me.\n\ngood luck in your endeavors.

Try to just sit back and decide what you enjoy doing.  Do you have hobbies, or something that is important to you?  Think about how you can incorporate your passions into some kind of job that won't leave you waiting for the end of your shift.\n\nAfter you have an idea about what kind of job you want, determine what kind of education/training you would need to get the job.\n\nThen you will know if you need to go to college.

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!

maybe you could try and learn something new and exciting that compliments your career, or that will take you to where you want to be.. Perhaps joining a class at college would help. For sure, this would make you meet new people in that line etc., and this would open up your mind, plus take away some of the boredom in life?

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!

It depends on whether or not you want to go to college.  I wouldn't get to overwhelmed with what "career" you will have after graduation because most people go through about 7+ in a lifetime!\n\nIf you don't expect to go to college then I would start thinking Junior or Senior year as to what technical job you are interested in.  Do you like work with tools?  people? ideas? \n\nIf you do plan on going to college I would focus on what area of education you are interested in rather than what "career" as again that can change.  So just do something that interests you or you'd like to learn more about and you will do well!\n\nStill it's best to narrow these ideas down by at least Senior year.  Visit a high school counselor and he/she will be more than happy to work with you and help you take career development tests etc.

It's perfectly OK that you are still unsure about the path you want your life to take. Many people are still unsure when they are ready to graduate from high school or college. Don't worry about what your friends think. Each of us makes these choices when the time is right for us. You will, too. Take your time and don't let anyone push you into making a choice before you are ready. God Bless!

I've personally always known that I want my own business from being very young, which is why i'm in a crappy position at the moment after uni to decide what i want to do in the meantime to get the funds to set up my business...i want to be my own boss and not be told what to do and have to hold myself back.\n\nGood for you and good luck if that's what you decide to do.

Imagine that you have graduated college and you need to get a job RIGHT NOW.  The pressure is on....so you have to decide, you should  look in the paper or yahoo hot-jobs under different sections and see if anything looks appealing.  The first thing you need to do is eliminate something.  There are a few basic categories of careers: Finance, business, medicine, psychology.  Many people go with psych cause it's easy and interesting to study in college (but remember  picture yourself out of college) but once you get out unless you get your PhD or become a therapist ect, there's not much you can do with that.  So then take medicine, can you see yourself as a doctor or a nurse?   Or can you see more possibilities and expansion in business or finance.  If you want to work for a company maybe you should go with business cause in business there are so many different branches that you can explore.  I hope this helps but ultimately you need to eliminate things before just choosing something.   Just get a bachelors in something broad enough to be appealing for many different companies or whatever broad field you find desirable

A good general answer for this would be that you feel that you have to do something important in your life, but you don't feel like it's time. Or that you have no idea what is right for you.  This sounds like the stereotypical searching dream, so you might need to find what it is that you are searching for to resolve this issue.

1.  No one really has a good idea what s/he wants to study, those who do lead very boring lives.\n2.  Perhaps it's time to take a break, work for a while or take some time off (backpack somewhere, not to sit in front of the TV) and figure out if school is really for you.\n3.  Organizational skills can be learned.\n4.  Do you have an idea what doesn't interest you?  Or are you kind of interested in everything?  If the first case is true, you can start crossing off things that don't interest you and explore other fields.  If the second case is true, you should find fields that look slightly more interesting than others and explore them further.\n5.  Parents gave you life but they are not really (legally) required to give you anything else other than food, water, clothes, shelter, and grade 1-12 education before you turn 18 (then zip after you're 18).  If you feel like you need support, find a mentor or friends in college who are more into studying.

I hear you.  It's next to impossible to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life right off the bat when graduating from college.  The best advice I'd give is to make a list of a few careers you might want to try and talk to as many people in those professions as you can to find out what they are like.  Get your feet wet and try to intern at a company in that job.  If you like it, go for it.  If not, nothing lost.  You've done great to get your degree.  I've been in HR for 10 yrs and it's not easy, but very rewarding personally.  Good luck.

I think every college is different.  You should figure out what college you'd like to go to first.  Once you figure that out, talk to the counselor there.  Usually they have everything set up for you and they'll let you know what you need to do and when you need to do it.

I don't know what I want to be actually.  and the weird thing is that I am almost ready to be finished with school.  I am 23 and have graduated from college, save one class that I am taking now.  \n\nI have changed my mind many times considering what I want to be.."when I grow up."  when I was really young, I wanted to be a fireman.  later on I changed to want to be a CEO.  by the time I got to college, I wanted to teach college, get my PhD.  I changed my mind on that, when I realized that the professors in college these days are just now getting tenure, which means there will not be open places in college faculty for several years....\n\npeople have offered me jobs as well.  but I do not know what I want to be.  \n\nright now I am deciding whether or not I am being called into the ministry, (southern baptist).  But whatever I do in life, I want it to be someone that I will enjoy.  It may or may not be something that is life changing, but as long as I am happy and making enough to support a family, that is what I want to be.  \n\nyour never too old to dream of what you want to be.  I still have dreams...
