I don't know, I think I'm coming to a crossroads or I'm just confused, but at 21 I'm confused with what I want to do with my life. At one point I wanted to be a lawyer, then a teacher, I even considered a cop (smh). I'm in the military now but don't know what I want to do, staying in seems easy, but I don't think I can put up with most of this lifestyle for 20 years. I know I want a career but have to get in school which isn't a problem. I just feels as if it's to late. I know it's not .... any suggestions?

I'm 26 and still in school. All the guys from my old band are all married with kids and careers. I used to feel like a loser, but hey I'm 26 with no kid, no wife, and no career. Why the hell wouldn't that be a good thing.
What's your old man do for a living? I'm going into teaching because there's only 3 people in my extended family who aren't teachers.

I'm 21 and also don't know what to do, am studying Pharmacy cause I could but I hate it and if it wasn't for the potential money would have dropped out by now.

Getting loads of rejection letters at the moment, the Tesco email calls me incompetant.

I'm 21 also, and just doing my time in school, for the longest time I wanted to go into the military after graduating, but for some reason I still haven't. School isn't too bad! Education is power bro, I know it takes a while but when you get that degree you are one step ahead of the rest!

its the same with me bro.iam 19 and in college right now pursing my hotel management degree but i dont like it.i would rather be an enggineer or be in the navy atleast thats what i wanted after high school.as i didnt score enough marks in my final hs exams i cant apply for both.so i applied for this shitty degree and got selected for college.after a while i realised i didnt like what i was doin and i wasnt scoring as per se a normal student would.... a lot of reasons for that.so i started thinking of droppin out starting fresh and joinin another course.i didnt know what i was doing or what i wanted at that point which was like a month or two ago.but then i decided againt it.... for i thought i had wasted enough money and time on this to fuck it all up now.

I'm 19 and do webdesign for my own company (finally). I have been eating dirt for like a year straight now, but I love what I do. However! Stay in school yo, but seriously don't get a damn degree in "ART" or go to college and say... "I WANT TO BE A ROCKSTAR!" or "I WANT TO PRODUCE TV SHOWS" or my personal favorite "I AM GOING TO SCHOOL TO MAKE VIDEOGAMES!"

The bottomline is get a degree in something real, and you'll be fine - the rest sorts itself out.

thats just my 2 cents.

A degree in the arts  will probably only get you places if you get a teaching degree. Being a rockstar is luck and talent, neither of which can be taught. And if your good at making video games you can apply right now at the respective companies, although BA's in video game dev. are preferred. Some digipen grads have jobs waiting for them at nintendo by the time they finish. Some of the jobs at bethesda look nice, and if I was a little better at programming I'd love working on the next elder scrolls. http://www.bethsoft.com/eng/links/bethsoft_jobs.html

everyone of us flock to the dreamcast because we are poor.

sorry but art and music are HOBBIES (creativity), not entirely educational ... I know a friend that went to school for Graphics/Arts, came back home to live with his parents, and about 4-6 months later still hasn't found a job.
