Teens, what do you want to do when you are older?

I am stuck. For so long, I was sure that I wanted to go into the medical field when I was older. Now, I have no idea what I want to do with my life.


Do any other teens out there have this same problem. Or, if you're an adult- did you have this problem.


What do you want to do with your life? Or what have you already done with it?


Thanks!

Teens, what do you want to do when you are older?
I'm about to turn 20' I'm a 3rd year college student and I'm the mom of a 27 month old little girl, and I STILL have no clue what I want to do as for a career... Up until last semester I was a Film major, but I changed my mind because I know a lot of people in the entertainment industry and I know that it is very hard to have an kind of work/life balance... Working in the industry as a producer has always been what I wanted to do, now I really don't know what I want... I switched to a Communications major, but I still don't know what kind of career I can get from that... I figure I still have about a year and a half to figure it out!!!
Reply:Yes. I believe that everyone had this problem. It is very difficult to decide how you want to spend the rest of your life. To avoid the typical " I Hate my job " Dilemma think about what you really enjoy doing and wouldn't mind doing all day every day. and even if to you its farfetched you should try cause you never know what will happen.





Good Luck! I hope this helped :}
Reply:I really didn't have a choice. I left school at 16 and started working full time at my dad's insurance agency. When I turned 18 I took the state test and became a licensed agent and now he's going to retire soon and leave me his entire business. I guess if I would have stayed in school and went off to college I would have never had this great opportunity. I am very thankful.
Reply:I am 18 and in college and I still really don't know what I want to do. But that is what college for, you can take classes that intrest you and then decide what you really like.. So just make sure your first year at college your get your pre-reqs out of the way and take some electives.. It should help you out alot.. Bets of luck!
Reply:Right now, I'm in college, working towards my Bachelor's in Adolescent-Young Adult Education. I'm only a freshman and I've changed my major twice (Communications, Psychology), but I am set now on becoming a high school science teacher! =]
Reply:Most people when they go to college and are a little more free find that what they have always thought they wanted in life is nothing like what they really want. Most collegiate students who have planned majors going into college, change before completing their degree.
Reply:i plan to major in forensic science. so i would be a forensic scientist or a forensic science technician. i have been wanting to do that for years and i am
Reply:well, i'm 14, so i don't know if this'll really help all that much, but whenever i was younger, i wanted to be a teacher. then as i got older, i wanted to go into the medical field also. now that i'm older again, i want to be an english teacher. i think you never really know what you wanna be. it'll just come to you one day. like now, i'm pretty sure i'm sticking with the english teacher thing.
Reply:No I don't, I found what I want to do, Marine Combat Pilot, and build my own house
Reply:I want to grow up, get my teaching degree, get married, have kids, and get my master's in school administration, and become a principal of a school, in that order
Reply:So you changed what you want to do in life.


That's fine!


When I was little, I wanted to be a politition so I could help cities be more "green" and have more trees. (I was 5.)


I changed my job choice to author at age 9. And now, I'm not sure if that is best for me either.


I'll choose something that fits me.


Don't worry. You'll find something.





Right now, I'm back to AUTHOR. And I am in the middle of a 12 page (single spaced) story.

When I was 7 I wanted to be a frog
Reply:When I was little I would always change my mind about what I wanted to be.Of course every kid does that. I used to want to be a teacher, then a pharmacist, then I changed my mind again to an obgyn. I finally decided for the last time that I want to be a neonatal nurse. I would say there is a 98 percent chance I will . Considering that I cant wait to graduate college so I can work with precious babies all day long.
Reply:Ever since I was four I wanted to be a teacher, but last year in the eighth grade I met this amazing little boy with autism, and since then I have wanted to work with autistic children.





Recently I have really started to get into writing, and I want to be an author, or write screenplays on the side.





As we get older our tastes change. And so does what we want to do in life. Keep going on and I'm sure you'll find your calling.
