I'm 21 now and I've taken about 6 classes in college and spend thousands of dollars on college but I can't pass Math 095, which is a high school level math class. It's BS that I can pass two college English classes with ease but I take some stupid high school level math class and I can't pass that. I'm really getting sick of college and I don't want to go anymore but I feel like I've spent so much already and I'm in too deep to quit. Is anyone else here in their 20's and have no idea what the hell they want to do with their lives?

I am 22 in school, and I am getting into Real Estate. So yes I do know. But when I was 20 I really didn't know what to do. I really hated counselors they did nothing to help at all.

Counselors at schools are completely useless. The counselors are mostly just students who work at the school who are the same age as me. And more than half of them don't speak English.

I am 20 and will soon be getting a degree in GIS. However the typical day for a GIS technician seems really boring. Overall the entire GIS field seems boring except for remote sensing part but its really rare to find a job in remote sensing probably becuase it is more interesting.

So take that as I knew what I want to do with my life but now having some doubts.

I'm 20 and I'm going to graduate in a year with a degree in finance. Only thing is I hate finance... Really bad choice on my part. I don't have a clue what I want to do with my life... I'm thinking about staying in school an extra two years and taking biology/chemistry core requirements to apply to vet school. I'm graduating very early for my age anyways. I just don't know how much I'd like another 6 years of school.

My counselors were 35+ years old, and after filling out many papers determined I would make a perfect Male Nurse. People who have crappy carriers telling what would be great for me...

All of mine are older, but they are equally as useless.

I'm 19, almost 20, and I have no idea either. I've taken aptitude tests too, but I'm not really interested in the careers that pop up. Generally sick of college; However, I'd like to finish it.

I'm still young, and have no idea what it's like to be in the 30's, 40's, or barely even 20's. I'm only 20 now, but I can say that it has been the hardest time in my life. I know what I want to do with my life. I'm more worried about finding love at this point in my life. Being alone is what is bringing me down more than anything right now.

Yes I'm 20 and wonder every day what I'm going to do the rest of my life. College is a joke, you still have to do the same **** you did in high school, plus a huge pile of worthless classes on top of that. I'm not gonna lie, I have learned more in about 2 years in college than in the rest of my schooling, but its just tedious as hell registering for a classes, and by the time I graduate I'll be 30.

Not me. Going to my final year for my CompSci degree in Oct and work in Motorola before going for other bigger companies. Probably taking a masters or if possible a phd in the future too.

I'm not in my 20s yet but I'm in a university course that is crushing me with boredom difficulty and the lack of ability to even SEE the tunnel that supposedly has light at the end of it.

But I am going to grit my teeth and beat this piece of **** to death with its own arms. I don't care if I end up with a job I hate. Life is crap and unfair. In the years I've been alive, I've pissed my time away and cruised by with absolutely no goals in mind. It hasn't really been that fun; I've been spoilt by my parents but never really made all that many friends.

Whatever. Life is crap. My advice to those still looking for what they want to do is just do something, ANYTHING other than cruise. Its better to struggle with something and find you hate it rather than not ever realise that you didn't like it.

Hey, its one thing off the list of things you might like to do.

got 2 options playing semi-pro football hoping to make it professional and play in either the football league or premiership (lot of luck involved with the latter) or I've being told by my grandad that i would make a perfect soldier because i have the correct physique and hes already gave me training on firing weapons and survival tips from camping.

So both options in my life are good and would enjoy both but the army or marines would be my best option as i like adrenaline rushes and like action. I'm not 20 (only 18 ) but i thought I'ld post anyway.

I'll be 21 in two weeks and just finished my second year as an English major and I'm pretty much clueless.

I figure the education is worth it and I'll figure something out eventually. I hope to apply for some type of internship next summer, and look into some of the things in our career center after my junior year.

I would like to be a librarian, so I'm going to look into that. My dream job would be to write fiction, or even be a journalist, but we'll see.

Just finished my second year of College... but it was only this semester I finally chose a major and career I wanted. It's pretty stressful, especially when you're thinking about bills, and places to live.

I'm currently 20 turning 21 in a months time, and things are looking alright for me at the moment. I finish my first degree this year in biomedical science, and will hopefully start medical school next year. If not, then I'll just do an honours year, then go for medical school in 2010 :)

I'm 21 now and I've taken about 6 classes in college and spend thousands of dollars on college but I can't pass Math 095, which is a high school level math class. It's BS that I can pass two college English classes with ease but I take some stupid high school level math class and I can't pass that. I'm really getting sick of college and I don't want to go anymore but I feel like I've spent so much already and I'm in too deep to quit. Is anyone else here in their 20's and have no idea what the hell they want to do with their lives?MM87

I'm 20 and it took me about 1 years worth of college classes to decide what i was going to get into...at first i wanted to be an engineer, but then i took a couple of architecture classes and fell in love with it....

the only thing i can say is to just try out some of the classes and see what you like...

It's pretty normal. It's a big decision to make.

Honestly, the best thing about college is the ability to try a little bit of everything and see what really interests you. I didn't have any idea what I wanted either until a few months ago.

What would that be?

I've never had to worry about that. And while I understand that some people may not know what they want to do right away, I still laugh at people when they tell me that they went to college for two years undeclared, and then chose a major. Just seems like a waste of time and money. If you don't know what you want to do, why waste money when you can just go to a public library for two years for free and try and discover what interests you. You can get the same type of information that you would in liberal arts classes.

Yeah, I didnt start my four year program until I was 21. Didnt graduate until I was 25. But yeah, it was worth it. I was more focused and driven to finish. I'm glad I did too. It was long, and tough The path I took lead me in the right direction. Now I'm a CGI artist at a small studio, we make commercials and stuff.

Tell me about it... i'm in my last year of highschool, and i'm failing Math almost on purpose, so i can have another year before going to college. I know that when i get there, i'll be going nowhere. I'm too afraid to lose my current friends, though i'm already sure it will happen. I know that i won't be able to dedicate myself to gaming as much as i do now.

I never knew what the hell to do with my future. I though programming was it, but i've become tired of it. I never want to see any language again in front of me. Now i'm going to follow cinematography, don't really have much chances of actually doing it where i live.
