I don't have any dreams in life...

Question

I'm at a loss at what to do for the rest of my life career wise. My original plan was to upgrade some high school courses maybe get a degree in psychology and become a neuropsychologist.

Of course this was just a starting point, i knew that i might change my mind, but until then i would just wing it. But my student advisor won't let me upgrade anything until i have a set goal for my life.

But i honestly don't know what i'm going to do for the rest of my life. I've looked into careers but nothing interests me, i had some slight interest in psychology, but my math and science skills are not strong, and it's certainly not worth the pain to work for something that i only half-heartedly wanted.

Unlike my other classmates and friends, i don't have any career dreams of what i want to become, the motivation i need to keep me moving just isn't there. I want to be successful, but there's just too much out there for me to decide. I don't have any interests, so i don't know where to begin my search. The only thing i'm really interested in is anime, but i can't draw or do any kind of vocie-acting :(

I feel so lost and i just want to give up, but i don't want to throw my life away so easily... any advice would be nice...

Answer 1

Stop being so emo . Listen it takes a lot of self anaylazing  for a person to find themselves vy few ppl are born knowing exactly who they are . Its silly to give up so early so dont ! Dude lemme tell you a story i am the biggest procrastinator in the world and like you i had no clue what the h**l i wanted to be  i went through a year of college in general studies just wasting time . Till i really though about it and research some things i was into (dentistry , interior design , and a bunch of other stuff ) till finally i found graphic design it just seems perfect for me and i am starting classes next September ! I am the girl who takes an hour to pick between two pairs of shoes ! You will find your self it just takes time be open to the Millions of possibilities in the world maybe start taking a few career assessment test online (i like Princeton review it told me i should be a circus performer lol ! ) . Dont try to fit a square peg in a round hole if the career doesnt fit then it isnt right for you ! Listen to your heart and dont be so jaded about life !

There are a billion ways you can get into anime !  You can write storys for them , Maybe look into a visual arts feild most ppl told me as i was researching graphic design that you dont need to draw well to work in this feild but i plan to take some lessons in art to hep develope my skillz ! Who knows maybe with a few proper lessons you can draw better also !

Believe in your self you will find your way :) .

And dude your gonna let some student advisor get in your way ! Also you wont believe how many of your so called happy classmatres are going through the same thing as you ! Its a ton of pressure to find what you want to do and your not alone !

Answer 3

Buy a rope and kick the chair from under you. It seems the only option =)

Answer 4

I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL!!!!! i'm 24 and THOUGHT i had everything figured out and am once again finding myself at the starting point.

what i did: went to a community college and got all the basic classes out of the way.  i currentl have an AA in liberal arts.  yah it's kind of a dumb degree but when looking at other things to do i've knocked out two years of school already and....it was cheap!

other wise: just take time to soul search.  thats what i did and i found out my love for music doesn't mean i HAVE to be on stage.  maybe look into other jobs involved with animating. i'm SURE theres other things that go into it then drawing and voicing. and maybe while on your search something else will peak your interest.

basicly your life is going to boil down to what you love to do and what will make you money.   ii know people who have taken both routes and both are happy. so it's really all up to you.

Answer 5

Talk to a career counselor or something, take some of those surveys to see what might interests you in certain career fields. If you like anime, then try doing something multimedia - like, it's best to think of something quick, you don't want to waste time and money on classes from college that you don't need.

Answer 6

i want to be a police officer, or join the Marines. watch some tv. usually on tv, there will be people who have jobs that might interest you.

Answer 7

Make up a fake goal in life to tell your professer so you can get on with yours lol...also if you like anime but cant draw or voice act then look into other jobs that involve anime that you can do. Anime doesnt just consist of voice acting and drawing.
