Need direction/ inspiration/ guidance?
alright, i am only 20, i did not go to college and am not motivated to at all. I have no idea what i want to do. I have a job that i hate, no real reason to stay where I am, live at home and have on and off friends but i dont do drugs or drink excessively. I have a sneaking suspicion that if i dont do something soon to fix my situation i am going to wake up one day and realize i am a deadbeat coke addict in his late twenties. And i would certainly not last in any branch of the military. So what should I do? I have absolutely no idea, but i dont have much money. I think i need to do something huge but respectable enough to at least feel like i am justifying being alive.
Answer:
You are in a pretty good situation right now. You live at home so your expenses are minimal. I know you said you're not motivated to go to college, so decide what you would like to do? Welding? Mechanic? Plummer? Something constructive with your hands? I know a guy who lays tile and makes $75,000 a year. You must have something that you are interested in. The secret isn't always college, it's finding something you like and doing it well. Decide what it is and go to the technical training you need to begin. This is the time while you don't have alot of expenses. Once you find it, you'll be ready to meet life face on.
Well you can be part of the Volunteers as you can see here http://www.volunteerministers.org/news/... and get trained and can help others in the world and get around and then develop your own interests. But the best is an environment change.
I think you should probably make an appointment to see your family doctor. Let him know whats been going on. You might be dealing with some sort of depression. Which is very treatable. Your at the age where you should be enjoying your life and it doesn't sound like you are. Please go see your family doctor.
Go to your local university testing office and ask tehm about free aptitude tests. This may give you an idea of what direction to take. Most worthwile jobs take training and education. Whil you are getting your education or training, look for a job thats more fun and doesnt get you down. Once you find a more fun job your outlook will chage too and you can give up the job you hate. Good Luck.
