It's not you that's the problem. Just calm down and think up of one thing that you want to take as a profession since you were a kid. Try not to get rid of that thought. Just keep it and work that certain profession. Once you worked for that for a few years, you could plan to change in to another job. But for now, stick to the one profession you mostly like. I hope this helps! :D

Your initial assumption is incorrect, and it is causing you a lot of distress, so you need to change that. It just isn't true that everyone else knows what they want to do with their lives, and even many of those who think they know will change their minds repeatedly. Do you really think that every 5 year-old child who thinks they want to be a fireman or a ballerina is on a straight path to that career? I've been teaching for decades at the university level, and I can tell you that even most of my grad students are very uncertain about what they want to do in life. Besides, as I often tell my students, the perfect job for you may not yet have been invented. Many of today's job categories had not yet been thought of twenty or thirty years ago. No counselors sounds like a not-very-good university; is there a career center, where you could take aptitude tests? You sound depressed, and a lot like me when I was in college; if it helps at all, I eventually got through it and now have 4 college degrees and a career that I love.

Don't feel bad. I think you are wise to change course if it is not for you. I changed jobs for years till I realized I wanted to be a teacher, so it doesn't matter how long it takes to find something you enjoy.
One idea might be to look at the kind of questions on here you like to answer that will give you a clue as to what you are interested in and take it from there.
Talk to a counsellor at college.

Well you not the only one. I'm 26 yers old and still lost. Like you I have tried different courses and one minute I'm sure it's what I want to do next I feel it's waste of time. Think first what job you want to do in the future and then look for available courses. Good luck

First of all, not anyone knows what to do with their lives. U have to be really lucky to be able to say that: i know what i want to do! So, chill :). About your choices, just follow your instinct. There must be something that u like the most. U can choose to do something for a living, but you can always get back to other things u like, in your spear time.
I hope u find your way! Good luck!

first of all, making yourself feel like a looser is not going to get you no where, i know that threw experience, i was there at one point in time,2nd your still young you have your whole life ahead of you so stop trying to do to many things at one time, 3rd of all stop trying to impress everyone else, because if you have to prove anything to anybody is to yourself,3rd of all at least your trying, there alot of youngsters out there not even doing what your doing, so i applaud you for sticking it out, even though you say you don't know what you wanna be or become, just be yourself,you have to try differnt fields in order to determine what you wanna do anyways, it's all going to work out,it will come to just don't give up on yourself, and another thing what your doing today is going to reflect on your childrens future, because they normally follow there parents footsteps, so become that strong, possitive woman that you know you are and if you don't know find her, because we all have it inside of us, girl motivate yourself, you'll be alwright, i know because you really haven't given up, good luck
