I am 18 and I don't know what I want to do. I love to learn, but I don't want to stay in college and school forever just because I can't decide what I want. Does anyone suggest anything?

What do you like to do? Go after that. You want to be happy when you're older and have been working in that job for a while.

In high school, did you take an interest test. If so, take a look at that. Check out your local community college to see if they offer interest testing (a small fee may apply, I don't know.)
Do you enjoy helping people? There are many careers that require employees to have good people skills. Nursing is a great career that has many options. And, if you get sick of patient care, you can go into management, sales, forensics, law, insurance underwriting, teaching etc.
Do people compliment you when you do certain things? Chalk up those compliments to possible career options.
Do you have artistic or creative abilities? You can use this in graphic design, advertising etc. Or perhaps, you can use those skills in teaching. Kids get board and creative teaching techniques are sorely needed.
I wish you luck in your career pursuit.

It depends... If you can afford it, go to college and take your favorite classes. If you need a profession to earn enough money, try to choose the classes that will help you go out to the real world but still interest you. Staying in the academy can be real fun, the problem is that it takes forever until you earn enough money.
Hope I helped...

The best thing that you should do is pray to God for he knows what he had planned for us for with God everything is perfect. Pray and meditate with the things which you are good at. And from there you can choose and decide the carrier you want to take,

don't worry, your not the only one your age feeling like that. in fact most 25 year olds still don't know what the want to be when they grow up.
good news: when it comes along, you will know. you will say this is it this is what i want to do(be).
i would suggest that you take business classes that teach you how to make money. in the end knowing how to make $ will give you the option to do or be who you want to be.

i'm in the same deal right now. think back to things that you actually enjoy to do, and try not to think of how much money you would make doing whatever.
