Totally confused

April 2, 2008 5:40pm CST
I'm 17 & I left school about a year ago. I went to college to study computing (iw was the only thing I was good at in school) but I hated it & left in January. I am now totally confused as I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I have been forever searching the internet, researching diferent careers & I can't find anything that I would be good at or enjoy. I am in desperate need of help!

It's really weird you know, but I don't think you are alone. There are a lot of kids out there who are stuying a course they aren't really sure if they wanted in the very first place. Of course, things can get wrong. There are decisions which are made on the spur of the moment, or because of pressure. Well, look into yourself dear. What were the reasons why you did not like computing? From there, you can get a clue of what you want. In fact, it always boils down to the fundamental question, WHAT DO YOU WANT? Bank on your experience, what did you not want in your previous course. And from there, figure a vision for yourself. If you can conceive what kind of person you would want to become in the sooner future, then you will get to figure what do you really want. Goodluck. Wishing you well here.

oh you sound like me when i was your age, I am sure if you are into computers you will eventually find something, just because you didn't like that particular job doesn't mean you won't find a job in the same area that you will like, think about anything that you are interested in as it helps to do something that you like and are interested in, you are young and i am sure something will take your fancy, be prepared to try anything to start with, you never know where one opportunity will lead you, good luck, something good will happen just think positive about it all...
