I'm 24, about to turn 25, and have been working in the entertainment industry for about 5 years. I have been working without a college degree as I was fortunate enough to get a job in the field I had desired after only completing two years of college. Now, I'm regretting not graduating college and a part of me wants to just start over from the beginning with a focus on medicine, specifically surgery. The problem is that I am now a few months shy of turning 25. Am I too old to start over? Would my age be held against me when applying for medical school a few years down the road?

I am a senior in high school and i'm preparing to go to college. The problem is, I don't know what I want to do with my life. I don't know what to study. People tell me just to do something that I like but I'm not really fond of any school subjects really. I mean marketing, adverstising, spanish, and science ar ok but I am absolutely NO GOOD at math. Like I have barely passed all my math classes. So what's left out there for me?

I'm graduating this June and I'm going to have about 30,000 canadian in student loans. I want to pay off my loans as quickly as I can even if it means sharing a room with someone. I'm planning to take at least 50% of my pay check to go into loans. So maybe around 900 a month, which allows me to pay off my loans in about 3 years. I'm normally a saver anyway and I can live cheaply. I would have just enough money left over for rent and living expenses. My rent would only be about 400 dollars. Plus, I have savings right now that would work as my emergency fund. Do you guys think that it's a good idea and is it worth it financially? My thought is that it would save me on interest even though it would be hard for a few years, but I will be much better off in the long run. Any suggestions?

I'm so confused about what I want to be when I get older.

My original plan was to be a doctor, but many people have said that it will be hard and take long, so I'm not so sure anymore.

I also wanted to become a writer, but I really don't think I have a future in that career.

My strongest subjects are probably Math, Science, History, Religion, and English. I don't really have an interest in anything in particular though.

I kinda like helping people and giving advice. I don't want a career where I have to study for too long though. I'm a procrastinator -_-"

I don't want to be responsible for anybody's safety, and I don't think I have a lot of confidence.

I absolutely adore animals, but I don't want to become a vet because I'm scared of operating on animals (I'd probably make a mistake cause I'd be too nervous.)

Am I totally hopeless, or is there a job that I would want for the rest of my life?

Thank you! ^_^
