Here is my problem!! I just graduated from high school class of 07 and just turned 18, i took a break from school only to decide what i wanted to do for my future career i didnt want to rush or feel pressured into going to college (by my family) right after high school so i took a few months off from school.
I have resently registered at my local community college for classes in january but i do not know what classes to take because i want to transfer after one year to UMD or GW (local colleges). I know i like working with cars but from my research as a career it's not enough money for me the base salary is about 30k but i may work on cars as a hobby but not as a career!!

GM,
The majority of students feel like this. I know I did! There is a book about just this challenge called, "What Color Is Your Rainbow?" There are many more, as well. The college will be able to test you -usually for free- regarding your best abilities. It's what interests us, and what we're good at doing that we are wisest to choose from. You should love what you do, you have to do it for a long time.
Once you start school, take at least one class to work on your general education requirements, then take a class that just looks like fun. Reading the catalog of classes can tell you a lot about what majors exist at that college, and the variety of classes you can take. Buy a catalog for the universities you want to attend for the same reason, or go to the library there and read it without buying it. Doing that can really expand your ideas, and fuel your dreams.

It sounds like you haven't decided yet where you are in your life, so take a little time and try to figure it out ,.then talk to your parents for some help, between the three of you it will be cool! Good luck to you!!

It depends on what you want. Take an assessment examination.
