Identifying what you want to do for the rest of your life isn't as easy as it seems for many people.

For me, college right after high school was forced on me by my parents. Because of this, I didn't take it seriously and failed out within a year. Then, I found what I thought was my dream job, and I did that for 4 years. For those four years I worked as a graphic designer. I had no experience, they just let me learn as I went. I did 3D animation, photoshopping, and video editing. It was amazing.

Then, after the 4 years, I realized it wasn't what I wanted to do for the rest of my life like I thought. I took the time to search inside myself and researched jobs that related to my interests. I to this research seriously, and I questioned people in the field as well as read up on what the jobs entail before I made a decision.

Eventually, I ended up quitting the graphic design job so that I could go back to college to pursue my new interest. Now that I was doing it for me rather than my parents, I was able to not only finish school, but get a Master's degree. This was a big deal since no one else in my family had ever had more than an Associate's.

It takes time and effort to find what you really want to do. Don't allow yourself to feel rushed into picking something right now and having to be stuck with it forever. Take your time, and be willing to change your mind down the road.
