About my career.
One day I want to be an accountant.
The next day I want to be a journalist.
A week later I want to be a Personal Trainer.
Then I want to be a financial advisor.
Then I want to start my own business.
The result: I end up doing nothing.
What is wrong with me?

Because you have diverse interests. It is a common malady. The truth is that most people work out of necessity, not because they love what they do. A few people can get satisfaction out of their accomplishments regardless of what they do.
Everyone says you should do what you love, but that isn't reality. Soon, necessity will overcome indecision and you will do what you need to do. Whether you are happy or not is up to you.
Of the different careers that you list, each would lead to a very different life.
Try this, jot down what motivates you. Three or four things will do. Is it helping people? Scientific research? Numbers? Money? Wealth? Fame? Love?
Once you have your list of motivations, rank them in order of importance. Now, envision, realistically, what your life would be like in each of those careers - you may need to do some research and talk to an accountant, a journalist, a trainer, etc.
Next, take your list of motivations and assign them to the list of careers in order of fulfillment. Example, accountant fulfills 2, 4, 1. The career that most closely approximates your list of motivations, in the same order that you assigned them is the career that will be most fulfilling to you. Example, journalist fullfils 1, 2, 3 (same order).
Remember, whether you're happy in your career or not is still your choice. Most people that are unhappy, it doesn't matter what they would do, they would still be unhappy. Most people that are happy, would find a way to be happy regardless of what they are doing.
Good luck! You'll do great.

Try a few different jobs first, work in an office in a shop, in a gym - see which environment you like and narrow it down from there. The majority of people don't know what they want to b, or what they ought to be doing and just as many are in jobs that they probably shouldn't be doing because they are crap at them.
Change your mind as often as you want because it's only when you stop thinking and dreaming about things that you end up in a dead end job that you hate and will be unhappy :(

Dear undecided, or is that unsure, (not sure),
I know exactly what you mean, I have gone through the idea of so many different careers and each one I think " yes this is the one ", then I change my mind !. Just think minds are meant for changing, dont be worrying, I just think, well I'll keep changing my mind till I know I dont want to change it again, then you know you've reached the right and perfect choice for you. And another thing, think it's pretty boring to never change your mind, so narrow minded. Good luck with your ever changing mind !!.

You don't know what you want to do, its perfectly natural.
I have found that until you actually do a job you don't really know what its like.
I know thats not of much use but you just need to get out there and start work, if you don't enjoy something at least you have some experience- which is better than nothing

Go and get careers guidance... looking at your stengths and weaknesses also your likes and dislikes that would be a starting point. As would be what qualifications or training you have to do any of these jobs. Just looking though it seems though you are good with figures and people.....and have bags of confidence.
If your still at school for goodness sake chill out and think before you leap...and get advice.
PS Maybe you want to be a professional footballer too...man of the match.

i think you should sit down and write the pros and cons of each of your options and see which one makes most sense or you see yourself as in the next few years and also you would enjoy doing. something would come up. also try using careers advise from libraries and people with the necessary experience. all the best.

Don't think too much. Just do it. Then, you won't keep changing your mind. Thinking take more time than doing, yet thinking too much make you end up doing nothing.

You're too indecisive. You need to make up your mind and zoom-in.
