Answer 1

Your too young to be worried about it. Enjoy life, don't try to grow up too fast. :)

Answer 2

The only person that can put a limit on you is yourself, that being said i know it can be a bit overwhelming knowing that you can do anything you want but dont know for to even begin. Just try to think of something you like doing and if theres a way you can make a living from it, its not enough that you love the job, you need to be able to survive off the money you make. Some people end up at a job that pays well that they dont like much but they can at least tolerate it, even if you are looking at the clock every once in a while hoping for it to end :/

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

I never knew what I wanted to do.  I am 18 and I just got married and I graduated highschool in May. I love animals and I wanted to be a vet but I didn't want to sit around in school for years, so then I thought vet tech. And I just couldn't see myself working in a regular job.  So I joined the military.  I went to an Air Force recruiter and I leave Nov. 4th for boot camp.  I can't wait, it has already became a huge part of my life.  They have so many different jobs that you can do, especially in the Air Force. I would recommend just checking it out and looking at all of the different jobs you can have then maybe talking to a recruiter.

Most people don't consider the military because they think it is all just war but it is way more complex than that.

Answer 7

Dear High School Jr,  Relax! The whole purpose of High School and even College, the first two years in particular are all to allow you to discover what you want to do. Some kids know what they want to be at age 6 or by Sr. high. These kids are the exception and even so may not necessarily end up successful or happy. Perhaps no one has told you that the vast majority of college grads do NOT end up in careers consistent with their college major. I have several college degrees up to and including doctor (professional degree) that I don't use. I have had several careers. I am now leaving a 20 year career and am entering a totally new profession for which I had to go back to college. I keep wondering what I'll be when I grow up and I'm 56! Life is a great and wonderful journey. You're worried about the destination. Don't! Take a deep breath, relax and enjoy your journey. Just don't spend too much time staring out the window. Instead get up, get out and live your life. Treat it all like a banquet of choices. Eventually you'll decide what you want, but for now just enjoy all the new experiences that come your way. Don't miss the fun of your journey, because life is not a destination it's what you do on the way to your destination, whatever that turns out to be. For now, relax and enjoy! John  

Answer 8

You know your question/statement says a lot. Okay I am 45 years old and I never really knew what I wanted to do either. Over the years many things have crossed my mind. You just don't always know. Think about it this way. If you live to be say 85 why at your age should you have to decide what you want to do with the rest of your life. You may pick something out and then in a few years a new opportunity presents itself. Like maybe you will start out being a teacher but then ten years from now something happens that totally changes the course of your life. I mean I think it's good to have a plan, but don't worry about it. You could hit the lottery tomorrow and never have to worry about it. You never know what life will bring.

Answer 9

dont be nervous you are only young

you have your life ahead of you

maybe think through your options before

deciding anything

hope it helps

Answer 10

there will always be a need for teachers, and it sounds like you're interested in it, you could be a photography teacher too maybe...just an idea

Answer 11

sounds like you want to be a psychologist

Answer 12

gosh I know the feeling i'm a sophomore and I have no idea what I want to do ether I guess we'll just have to figure it out sooner or later concentrate on the things you like to do and research on jobs that has to do with them.....maybe you could teach photography  

Answer 13

Don't sweat it.  I went to college not really knowing, changed my major about five times and finally ended with elementary education.  I love it.  Most people change their major.  Please do not feel you have to make a life decision at the age of 17.  Our society doesn't think you can make a 4 year decision (vote for president).  I am not sure why they think you should have to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life.  

Just have an idea of what you like to do, maybe have a handful of areas you would like to look into further.
