I have been a nurses aide for 10 years in a nursing home after I watched my Grandma die of cancer. I wanted to help others. I do alot of heavy lifting, dirty work, and don't get paid what I am worth.. I sometimes work through my breaks, don't go to the bathroom for 8 hrs and sometimes don't eat the whole time I am there. And I spend a good bit of my own money to buy them soap and lotion to make them smell good, even though I could be fired for it. But if you were to tell me "here is 50,000$, go to college and be what ever you want" I'd say no thanks. I help therapy people get better to go home and the sick and ill go home to the Lord. Nothing means more to me than holding someones hand when they die. Long story short...I don't regret going to work and when the day is done I feel like I did the best I could. That is how you know...despite the bad times...you go back and enjoy it too.

I have no idea what I want to do with my life. 10 years ago I moved across country, 2000 miles away, to go to college. I got my Bachelor's degree and now having gone through all the classes, I'm not using my degree. I'm still paying on all my student loans as well. Hopefully one day I'll either use my degree, or find a really good job to help pay all the loans back. I now am working on being a good wife and good mom to our infant son. Other than that, I have no idea what I plan to do. I'm not even sure I know what makes me happy anymore.

It just comes to you I guess. I made my decision to get my major in criminal justice & minor in psychology at UCF, made my decision to become a marine corps scout sniper, and made my decision to work Miami-Dade SWAT all when I was 9 years old. Well the college was 15 but everything else was decided at 9.
Just think about what makes you happy and what you want to accomplish.

Wow! I am having the same problem and I am in my 30s!
I hate my job and I hate what I studied in college. Now I don't know what to do.
I hope you get some good answers so I can learn too....

to me, (not to be rude) but thats a pretty dumb answer! you need to find out what you want to do on your own. im not saying go out in the desert and meditate for 27593845 days, but think about it. i want to do something i ABSOLUTELY love, art/photography. if you have a hobbie you enjoy (i mean REALLY enjoy) consider it as a career. if your talking about maritial, you know it when you see her : )
