I'm 22 years old and out on my own. My question is I dont know what I want to be when I "grown up". Is this normal at my age. A lot of people I went to school with are having kids already or are almost done with school. Do you think I should know by now?

i imagine by now you should have a basic idea of what you want to do.. perhaps you should look into going to college or get into a trade..
they are always in need of trades people

I'm 22 as well and I don't know either! I graduated from undergrad last spring and I decided to just keep going to school, so now I'm in law school.
I think its a pretty common thing, because a lot of my friends feel the same way

Honey, it is absolutely normal. Please take your time and explore yourself and your talents. I understand that society can sometimes pressure young people a lot - but we all have our own rhythm in life. A suggestion: Why don't you go abroad for a year to see the world and find a new perspective? There are plenty of job opportunities for young people all over the world.

don't worry.some of the greatest master artists of all time did not start painting until the age of 80.in today's society people go through jobs like i go through socks.it doesn't matter when or how you start it does not even matter how you end what counts is have you learned about what love means.do you know what it means to give your last dollar to someone who needs it.would you help someone who is hurting.will you be your true self.do you know how to enjoy the smell of a rose when it just blooms this is whats really important in life this is true wisdom.

You might want to have some sort of idea of what you want to get out of life. Don't go having a lot of babies or anything like that just you know search for what you want. Don't compare yourself to others cause we're all different from each other. There are a lot of people out there who are your age and older who still don't know what they want to do. I'm 18 and i know what i want to do but you know that doesn't make me a better person. I don't know just keep searching and trying new things.
Good luck

Take a career planning class at your local community college. Take an interest and aptitude test. It will help you discover what you like and what you'd be good at. Pick one and persue it. If it doesnt' work out, pick another and persue it. Very few get it right the first time.

At your age I thought I was sure what I wanted but then it turned out to be totally different from what I thought,so,no,you're not too late.

your 22 so you are already grown up. As for what you want to do, do whatever you want. Mom can't tell you what to do anymore. If you want to eat, eat. If you want to sleep, sleep. If you want to be a hooker, be a hooker. If I were a girl I would want to be a lezbian. Your pretty
