Answer 1

simmilar. ..My carreer advidor guy just *snorted* when I said I wanted to be a computer technician. Then he 'told me' the highschool classes I needed to do and showed me out the door.

3 months later after I finished grade 10, left the dumpy school and went to the senior college where I got top student two months in a row, I stopped going 2 weeks before I was due to finish.

I don't know what I want to do anymore, i'm 18 soon.

I mean, if you get on with your parents you have until you're like 24 years old to get through with college. that's 8 years, and where anyone would like to get their quallifications and stuff out of the way as fast as possible, it's nothing to worry about if you can't decide.

Just choose something that you think you'd like, get as far as you can with it, and if you suddenly decie you don't want to do that anymore.. well you have the quallifications/certificates to fall back on, so just start working on whatever else it is that you're interested in.

it's better to learn about 3 random things that you like, (or liked), than it is to sit around unable to make up your mind and waste time.

Answer 2

I was the same way. After being out of school for eight years I wish I had some direction when I left. Not knowing what to do or where to go has left me lost and confused, and believe me its not that easy out there. Even with a college degree it still hard to find work. Having a degree doesn't grant you a job, it helps, but doesn't secure that.
Easiest thing to do is think of something you do all day thats fun. Something that when you do it, the time just passes by. If you can do this task for 8 hours and it just flies by, than.. do that as a career somehow. Theres your career path, no need to press any further. Might as well enjoy your job!

Answer 3

Hey, your dreams are your dreams. Even if the career advisor says they are so called "unrealistic". Make them realistic. You have your own mind and thoughts. Nobody else has the right to judge you on what you want to pursue in life. I wish you well.

Yes, you have to be serious about being something. Yet, you're only sixteen! Still young and have other things on the mind. Don't worry, there will be a day when you decide what you want to do for your life. Right now, just focus on your school. Take care and Merry Christmas.

Answer 4

You shouldnt be worried. Youre STILL young and you have you whole life ahead of you. Since youre going to be in grade 11 and 12((if youre going to college)) you should start looking and applying at college.

Im 18, I graduated in June, and I have a full scholarship to the college of my choice. I wont be going till August of 2008 thou because I have NO IDEA what I want to do career minded.

Just take your time and dont rush into things. Thats the worst thing to do because most likely you'll end up doing something you dont want to do.

Answer 5

i'm the comparable way. There are a number of at abode remedies you are able to attempt. i detect rest thoughts collectively with yoga, respiratory workouts stretching can artwork. looking a satisfied place, a exciting reminiscence or famous activity you are able to think of roughly. For some human beings song will artwork, taking part in a fave music can regulate you recommendations-set. in case you sense as though no longer something works it is often beneficial to head consult from a therapist. there may well be some thing triggering your rigidity which will properly be resolved. solid success.

Answer 6

I know 42-year-olds who have still not determined what they want to do.

My oldest daughter, who is now 45, thought, at the age of 16, that she wanted to be a veterinarian. She had helped her father deliver baby calves, pigs, sheep, dogs; took care of chickens, rabbits, guinie pigs, fish, and a myriad of other animals. While an intern at a Veterinarian clinic, she was asked to help with the tail-docking of a litter of Doberman's. That was the end of my daughter's desire to become a vet! She graduated from college with a degree in Accounting, and is now a CPA!

My youngest daughter attended college on a cheerleading scholarship! She had no interest in studying, just having a good time, which she did. After one year of college, she had earned only six hours of college credit. Eventually, she joined the U.S. Army, married, went to cosmotology school, and spent six years washing, cutting, coloring, and styling hair.

Six years ago, she decided she wanted to become a teacher. Her father and I were teachers. She graduated two years ago, Summa *** Laude, and has been teaching Language Arts in a local middle school. She loves her job, and she is a very good teacher. I am proud of her.

I have three granddaughters, ages 24, 18, and 15. Each one is talented in their own way, and have "dreams" for their future.

No, I don't believe at the age of 16, one needs to "worry" about the rest of one's life. Do your best in school, respect yourself, your teachers, your mother and father, and your grandparents. They love you and want the best for you.

Answer 7

don't even worry about, most people don't know what the hell they want to do with the rest of their lives until their in college. hell i'm 17 and headed off to college next year and have no clue what to major in let alone what my career is gonna be. i say that everything will just work itself out in the end. take classes that your interested in and that may lead to a possible career choice.

Answer 8

Not everyone knows what they want to do for the rest of their lives when they are 16. Merry Christmas to you too.

Answer 9

merry christmas to u too.

dont worry too much about what to do with your life. take a moment and write down your interests, and look them up on the internet to see if theres a career for any of them that you might like. then take a course on it if there is one or do a lot of research on it

Answer 10

No, you shouldn't be worried. You have plenty of time to figure that out. Merry Christmas to you also.
