There is a major university one mile from me that I am accepted to, but I pretty much hate the idea of attending.
I do not know what type of career that I want to have. I have no clue at all. I have bad depression right now so that is making it hard for me to be clear on my passions and interests. But I will say that my TOP value and thing that I want in my life is FREEDOM and INDEPENDENCE. I also want financial security and financial freedom. I will list my interests below in order of "my passions" for them.
Please help me to come up with some ideas, and give me advice for what I should do right now.
List of passions and interest in order:
1. Entrepreneurship
2. Flying
3. Adventure in the outdoors
4. Therapy and helping others
5. Living by the beach (haha, yeah, I love the beach)
That is all that I can think of. Please give me suggestions and advice and ideas guys. I really could use it right now.
Thanks

First, don't get too hung up on a career. People find the weirdest careers and they're happy. Nobody actually plans to do many of them. You just have to be open. These days you don't have to stick too long with a company. A "job" should offer more than a paycheck and insurance. I mean on the job training or advancement or location.... Whatever gets you closer to your goal. Sometimes just meeting people is enough.
Any job will help you right now.
Lots of job seeking resources from the dept of labor. In my state you can go down to the workforce center and there are counselors that can help. They most certainly have tools and ideas you never considered. There is also federal grant money.
Check craigslist for jobs. Like everything else you never know what you will find.
Hope that helps.
