Success is the ongoing process of becoming your best self.\n\n- Sally Hogshead, www.radicalcareering.com\n\nIn my opinion, you are successful if:\n\n1. you've found your talent or unique capability\n2. you feel alive and passionate in what you do\n3. your work or community involvement makes a difference and you feel you contribute to building a better world\n4. you earn a fair financial reward for your work \n\nIn your case, don't worry about not finding your passion. It will come. Passion is just one of the four key elements of a great career. The other three is # 1, 3 and 4.\n\nThe most important thing is #1: find your talent. What do you do well that most people find hard to do? What do you do naturally? It must be something specific, not "Web development". For example: interface design, graphic design, database creation, query creation, usability studies, etc.\n\nMost people fail in finding their true talent because they only look for "jobs". When you find your talent, you will easily find many jobs. But looking for a job does not guarantee that you will find your true talent.\n\nIt does take time, be patient and enjoy the process! :-)

Nothing has happened like I had thought it would happen, further proving that what I thought I wanted and needed wasn't really what I needed.\n\nExample: in my dreams I would graduate, become a famous journalist, marry the man of my dreams, and move to NYC. \n\nWhat really happened: I graduated from college in 3.5 years after having a baby, being hospitalized, transferring schools, planning a wedding oh and losing three family members. I married a man who is BEYOND the man of my dreams, I don't live in NYC, and I'm not a journalist. I'm a full time mom.\n\nBut you know what? I'm not upset. Things are working out just as they are supposed to.

It's a hard thing to see. If you could see how your future would be like with someone, though, it would be pointless. Hate to make this short and sweet, but the best way you can go about this is going with the flow. Arguments are bound to happen, but if you can work through them, that is what you can look forward to. To see that things can work out.

I don't know that I will ever know what I really want. All the things that I want to make with my life is out of reach. So who knows. Go with the flow and live everyday to it's fullest. Don't sweat the small stuff and hang in there.

It's tough to figure out what you want to do in life!  This is something my kids have struggled with.  It's ok to be undecided.\n\nThat being said, both psych and bio are hot right now.  Since humanities and psych interest you, have you thought about a career in child psychology or being a psych intake social worker for youth??  The US is facing a serious shortage of qualified people to work with children and adolescents that have emotional, behavioral, and neuropsychological disorders.  The waiting lists to get care can be as long as 18 mos.  Psych social workers help families access, and fund the needed care.  They also do crisis intervention, help in cutting thru the red tape wall hospitals put up, and locate/provide the support needed to keep the child in the home instead of a residential center.  Unfortunately, there are few of them in most counties.  \n\nHope this give you an idea or two.  In the end, you have to go with what give you passion and fullfillment.  It's your life's journey, not your parents.

You should really take stock and figure it out soon, especially if you are going to have to go back to school.  The older you get, the harder it will be to change careers.  \n\nSee if there is anything on the net or if a career counseling center can help.

follow your heart my friend.  it is not the destination but the journey that makes life so wonderful.  look for what you are grateful for today, dream about what you would like for tomorrow and then believe it is yours.  we create our own destiny.  if we think it, we become it.  if we dream it, we live it.  don't worry about how you are going to make it happen, just live as if you already have.  visualize in your mind that you are a woman.  see yourself walking, talking, smiling, being, living.  feel it.  \n\nlisten, learn let go and live . . . love . . .\ndream, believe, soar and achieve.

It's OK to worry sometimes, specially when it's about your future. But you are just starting, so go on with your plans and eventually you'll find your way, by that I mean your own way. It's a great career and opportunities will get to you, don't worry. Good luck

You do the work that is available, whatever that may be. This will help you get money for books, if there is help at the college you attend, apply there, They may know of work that is available for students. Sooner or later you need to come to a decision of what you would like to do, or you would be floating through life without an aim.What are you good at, and what are your likes and dislikes? Even the very best job you may get will take some adjustments and have in it something or someone, you will have to learn to cope with. Best of luck.

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!

Well... look around... Do you like what you see? Are you happy for what lessons you have already learned? Are you pleased on what you are able to do for the better of tomorrow? That is all really. If you are happy. If you are pleased on what you have as a past, to put you in your position you are in now, and where it can lean you from your own ambition from knowing that this is your life. And if you are not happy with anything, well that is something that needs to be worked out within yourself, because you should be happy for everything in your life. Why should there be a reason for you to be un-happy? Are you missing anything? Do you have patience to take the time and effort to get to that point in obtaining that goal? Everything is in your hands. Just remember to take everything as it is and be happy for it. Don't expect anything. Things will flow much better if you do that. Hope this helps. Cheers!

What do you WANT to do?  Where do your passions lie?  Perhaps trying a similar job while pursuing night classes in a field that appeals to may be an option.  My soon to be father in-law started off working with the mentally challenged went on to teach computer classes at college, then he ran his own computer business and now he works for the department of education.  Its possible this change of scenery is for the best and you may find something with your experience that you are better suited for.\n\nAnd yes, I feel the same way (and ramble quite often)

well, do they come true? because if they don't then your problem is not visions but bad dreams, which can be helped by a therapist.  If they do come true, then you have a gift. Many people THINK they can tell the future but in my experience most, (not all) are mistaken.  I would suggest talking to a qualified minister (one with an educational background in counseling) or a therapist to help you explore what is going on.\n\np.s. I am sorry they scare you.

See yourself where you want to be.  I'm a second year maths student at university.  What keeps me going is knowing where I want to be in two years from now.

You need to take some time for yourself and figure out what you want in your life. Get away from everyone and be alone somewhere that you can just think. Where are you at in life? What do you want to accomplish? What is important to you? How are you going to do this?  Life is a mess sometimes, take time to clean it up.
