Not at all.
What sounds good to you at 16 will most likely not interest you when you're 26 or 36... and there's nothing strange or abnormal about it.
Take your time and don't be too hard on yourself. And don't be afraid to "Not know." It's not a big deal.
Major in something in college that you feel would be the most fun to get. Because the majority of my friends aren't doing anything that has to do with their degree.
You've got all the time in the world honey, so just enjoy being young!
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

No its not bad. A lot of people have no idea what they want to do. But college is coming pretty soon. Maybe trying joining come clubs, classes, or teams, and see what you like. Experiment in different stuff. If you still have no clue by the time you are in college, maybe take a while off to travel before you go to college. A lot of people find what they want to do with their lives that way. And remember, just do whats going to make you happy.
But just so you know, I'm twelve, and i don't really know if i am qualified to give this kind of advice.

No it's not bad. Sometimes it takes a while before you find something that you're interested in. You can even get to College and take some pre-recs and still not know until your third or fourth year. Be patient and keep searching. What are you good at? Think about that and think about if you would like to pursue that as a career.

No, it is not bad that you don't know what you want to be yet. You have plenty of time to figure it out, and even when you do, I guarantee you that you will change your mind. Don't worry about it now. Just keep working hard in school so you can get into a good college. I promise that it will all work out for you.
Good luck!

It does not really matter. I am now 26, when I was your age I wanted to be a beautician; however, now I am an editor for a magazine. People change; you have plenty of time to decide what you want to do. Most people end up doing something completely different anyway; often much better than they anticipated.

Don't stress on it - you're only 16. Be open to learning new things at all times and something may just click with you in the future.
you may need to do a few jobs before you find where you feel you'll fit in life.
Good luck to you in the meantime and try and enjoy school and you're youth while you can - before the worry of bills and mortgages and utilities etc kick in.

No, actually, it's pretty common. It should be something your thinking about, since college is right around the corner. But, don't be worried about it. A lot of sophmores in COLLEGE don't even know what they want to be. I know what I want to be and I'm a freshman, but I'm a special case. I knew what I wanted to be in first grade. I want to be a vet.

Cindy,I'M 72 years old,and still trying to figure what i want to be when i grow up. I
found out that what ever i do,i do my best.
People that say what they want to be is
living in a make belief world.who knowes what the fucture holdes for them?
it's not important to know what you want to be. the fucture holds so mainy new and
different job that you will choose when they are part of the space program.

You are still young and many people your age still don't know for sure what they want to do. Take some general courses in the meantime that can be helpful anywhere and keep looking. It will come to you.
best of luck in the future.
