Haven't decided what to do?

You have no idea....

Orginally I went to school to be a social worker, which required the degree I'm currently getting plus my masters.  I'm about 4 years into my degree with about a semister left until I graduate and I've decided I don't want to do that.

So now, I'll have a degree in sociology with a minor in anthropology and no idea what I want to do with it.

I had no idea what i wanted to do, kinda still don't. I worked as a support worker with learning disabilities and mental health problems for about three years and got really depressed. So one day I thought I had to get out before I couldn't, if you know what i mean, anyway, I just sat down and instead of thinking what would I like to do I just thought what do I enjoy doing? I have always enjoyed writing, whether it was poetry, or short stories or whatever. So I took a chance and applied to 6 uni's to see if I would get in to any to study english ( I had already gone to college where I had got very low marks) I was so suprised when 3 accepted me. I never been an academic person so there was a huge risk that I would hate it and want to leave, quite a few people tried to talk me out of it but I had to try at least then I could have looked back and thought "yeh I gave that a try but it wasn't for me".

I am now in my third year of uni and I still don't know what I really want to do with my life but I know what I enjoy doing so I will do that. I never want to end up in a job that didn't suit me or caused me to get depressed again, life really is too short.

I don't know if that helps anyone at all x

I was always rubbish at science especially Chemistry!

What did you do instead?

I don't know what I'm gonna do either but then again is there a reason I need to know now?

Same no idea and it suck's because I'm in my last year off school. Let alone no what job I want I have no idea if I'm going to 6th Form and do A Levels or go to College and get a Dimploma.
I'm getting a dimploma on my day release at college in Catering and Hospitality BTEC but in year9 I wanted that. Now it's just like, I really don't know if I really want to be in the Catering Industry it wasn't as what I thought it would be.
So I'm at a loss at the moment but I also like the idea of Photography and Archeology but neither of them two job's pay that well and are pretty difficult to get in to.
Life sucks.

I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I'm in my second year of college and still can't decide on a major. I have always wanted to be a lawyer but I've been rethinking that lately since it involves a lot of reading and writing, which I am good at but I don't like to do it in excess. So my backup plan is to become a social worker if I decide not to go to law school. But I don't even think I want to be a social worker.

Life sucks so much. I really wish I didn't have to grow up. Well it makes me feel a little better knowing that I'm not the only one having a hard time with this.
