Where can I find ideas on what to do with my life?

Question

I'm kinda depressed. I've lived a life of nothingness for too long, I want to start doing something with my life. I have no big interests, hobbies, or a strong determination to do anything. I've been thinking about what I want to do with my life the past 5 or 6 years and can't come up with anything. Is there someplace I can look to try and get some ideas? Maybe you could just give me some ideas. I'm 21, Male, and live in Tucson AZ.

The tricky part is I have no education and no job. I don't want either, but if I got a job It'd have to be something I'd like. I want to live in a different place, not a diff city or state necessarily, just a different place to live on my own. Anyways, I really want to get my life started, i've waited much too long already. All I know is I don't want to live a normal kind of life working a 9-5 job until I'm 70 years old and retiring. I could get my GED and try and go to college but I still wouldn't have any idea what I'd want to do career wise.

This isn't really about finding a job/career, but rather about finding a life to live in general. Where can I look to maybe get some ideas?

Answer 1

I know you wrote going to the College is not exactly what you want, but I would like to say that going to College could open a variety of different interests/things you might like, and by now, you don't know yet.
Going to College you can find some career that will make your life meaningful. I agree with what you said about working in a 9-5 job. It is not a very inviting thing, but once again, if you find the right thing you'll go to "work" with the idea of having fun, with the idea of making some thing rewarding to your life, or to others.
