I think this is a common problem. The first thing to do in my opinion is to realize that you are not alone. Many people look out into the world and see their peers getting jobs, getting raises, having kids, and buying homes, but to think that they know what they want to do in their lives would be a mistake. Most of those people base their growth and welfare off of a preconcieved standard. "This is how they do it in the movies"\n\nLife is a little more than an occupation or a decimal point at the end of a check. When you ask what to do with your life, the answere is "Live". If you are lost as to what to do, take that as a gut check to analyze what it is in this world that makes you happy. \n\nDon't worry so much about it, its worrying that makes it all worse. take it one day at a time and most importantly enjoy yourself

Make a list of your talents. Then make a list of your passions and what you love. Then choose the best field that will allow you to utilize your favorite talents in something you love. (e.g. Bob is a good observer and very analytical. Bob loves being outdoors. He loves nature and trying to name all the plants he sees. - Bob studies ecology, biology, etc and becomes an plant biologist at a nature center).\nMost importantly choose a major you absolutely love learning about! Not about which will make you the most money, etc.

Work out what you enjoy doing,and what you're good at, and go from there. Choose jobs that interest you and what you know you will succeed in.. if you want to work your way up in a Company, choose one that will allow for this.

You take your favorite hobby, something your really good at, and something that pays the most money and find your happy medium. No career test is going to determine what you really want out of life. The best advice I can give you is don't pick a career just because it pays well or you will be very dissappointed.

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.

Look for something you would be willing to do. You would have a hard time doing something you hate for the rest of your life. I'm curious to find out why you can't do what you love though.

Find something you would like to learn about or do outside of what you currently and do it. Life can take off from there on

You'll not know that until it happens. I'm told some never find anything they like, but I was lucky and found something I loved. I used to enjoy getting up in the morning and going to work. The money was good after I learned more about it and I stayed doing that job (42 years) until I retired 2 months ago. I still miss it. You'll know when you have it if your lucky. Trying to plan what your career will be would be very difficult I would think. If you've never done the job before, how do you know if it's what you want? The one thing I knew for a fact was I didn't want to work in a factory or even in the same building forever.

Sometimes it takes time.  The best thing you can do is work in many different types of industries and jobs as well as volunteering, etc. until you find your fit.  Don't be afraid to leave a place to try something new and don't be afraid to take a second job volunteering or working in something completely different.\n\nThe key is fearless pursuit of new and different things until you find your place in the world.

Be creative... do something that shows your talents as well as your caring side.  Feel free to show a sense of humor, and, above all, just be yourself.

focus on 1 career path at once.\n\ntry things. start something.\n\nthen you'll know what goes and what doesn't, for you.\n\nyou can always change the track if it is totally wrong.\nbut, usually it isn't. you need to give dedication to something... then you'll know better.\n\nI guess.

I was in a dead-end career. I hunted for months, took a temp job doing something I'd always wanted to do, then found a full-time position. 10 years later, I'm at a senior level position and love my new career. Having the courage to try something new is important, even if it might not be the "exact" fit. Try, try.
