Just go with the flow, do what makes you smile. Laugh when you can and love all the time! Although work is a four letter word so is life... Choose life every time!
Do somehitng you enjoy and see what happens, I was in a job where they paid me a sickening amount of money, in the end I quit.. I wanted to be me, happy etc.. money is an necessecey evil... Lifes a gift.. use it :)
Have fun,
Baz

When I was 18 I thought I knew what to do with my life. After some time in the army I went to college and got my degree in electrical engineering. A few years later I realized that wasn't right and went back for a degree in computer science. The led me into the corporate world where I spent a lot of years.
After some time in the corporate technology world, having risen to run a department of almost 100 people, I realized that wasn't what I wanted either. Now, at 50 years old, I own a small computer business and am having a blast. I finally found what I wanted to do.
Don't hurry, you have your whole life to explore things and learn about an ever changing world. There's no telling what tomorrow will bring. It may bring something new, wonderful and exciting.

The more I look at the complex issues of life, the more I realize that reality is defined by degrees. At every stage of life we think we know where we're headed or what we want. But it is only when we look back on our past that we see the foolishness of our ways.
Only when we are willing to admit our errors and acknowledge our shortcomings can we even approximate our place in the universe or what we want to do with the short amount of time we have.
It doesn't matter how old you are or what you've done up to this point in time - be self-critical and redefine who you are. You can make a difference.

When you think you know what you want to do and you finish going to school for that, you change your mind. At least thats what happened to me. Now I have all the knowledge about one business that I thought I wanted to persue and now nothing about my new interest. Take a career test to see what careers fit your personality best and learn about each a little. Then enroll yourself in school for that to major in and get a job in that field as an intern or part time to test the waters.

Take life as it comes. Your future is what you make it so it depends on what you think is more important i guess. some think careers some think love some think religion and some just think money. All i ever want to be is happy n happy can only be with your own loving family right?
actually now I'm confused? i need an answer too ;O(

Hopefully you are one of the lucky ones, and "what you want to do with your life" finds you. Many people are searching, you are not alone.
I suspect that you have some of the basic ideas figured out, such as
you want to go to college
you want to be married
you want to have a family
you want to have a career you enjoy
you want to own a home of your own
you want to travel
Just start down the path that leads you to whatever broader goals you have and the details will work themselves out.
good luck!

I'm still not decided. I'm twenty-eight and in a good job, but all I'm looking forward to is retiring!
You should think about the futue, and whatever you're doing you should be saving for the future. This IS much more important than anything you're spending it on.

Just go out and try things. You won't know for sure until you have different experiences to compare. It's true that you only regret things you didn't do so don't stress out and enjoy life and everything will fall into place when it's time.
