Many older adults face this same problem. One piece of advice is to do what you love. Do you have a hobby? Could you make money at it? But first you need to know what the real world of working is all about. Getting a job will teach you a little discipline. It will teach what is expected of you in the adult world.
No one said you have to go to college. Many very rich people never went to college. Your life is what you want it to be. There are no universal rules for success. Most people make up as they go along.
Take a deep breath, inhale, that's good. Now exhale. You must be aware that many people may not become successful to much later in life. The thing is to keep trying until you find something that works for you.
Have a good life.

The problem is you think you need to make the big choices now.
So you have a college degree, why not spend a year in Korea, China, Japan, Thailand or Vietnam teaching English.
Why not backpack around the world or do volunteer work in Africa.
You are young, have some adventure.
You need to do things, earn some money, pay the bills and generally things work out as you go.

relax you don't have to make that kind of a big decision yet if your planning on going to college you can take many different classes before deciding which major you want to stick with that's how I picked my psychology major
also note that many undergrads change their major at least 3 times and many adults have jobs that have nothing to do with their major so its not exactly set in stone anyway
I think it would be a good idea to visit the career services on campus or your high school guidance councilor and take those aptitude tests they can give you a feel for what your interests are and what jobs go with them and what kind of experience/education is needed for those jobs.....
and do some internships,volunteering, and/or job shadowing at different places so you can get a feel for what kind of jobs you might want to do so you can see what the work enviroment is really like you can make some great contacts and perhaps even find a job that way

Oh goodness!!! Well, I can offer you my thoughts but I understand how it's a scary choice! I decided that the thing that I love to do the most, that I pay to enjoy, is something I should get paid to do. I am currently in school for fitness and nutrition. I LOVE working out!!
Also, talking to a career councler at your school might help, or maybe an appitiude test? Good luck with whatever you choose.

Geee , and NOT saying what you majored in really helps us give you feedback .
I'm guessing your ability to leave out critical info is a factor in this mess . . .
Maybe time to lay off the coffee ?
Then make an appointment with the placement office and apply for anything .
Forget career at this time , you are tooooo discombobulated .
Get any job , get some $$$$ and start living like an adult .
Then in about 6 months , rethink the career choices .
