I need help it seems everyone my age has already started there careers and know what to do. Im 20 and i still havent gone to college. Iv wasted 2 years my life working at a dead end job. And i dont know what to do. I tried the military and that didn't work. I feel so lost.
It also seems that every career choice im intrested in is shit.
What should i do? The years feel like they fly by.

You're only 20, chill. Lots of time to get good at something or find what you like to do. Pursue what you're super interested in or what you're good at. Most people are just in college at this time, trying to learn more about their future jobs.
Remember that some people are still in college at 26-28 because they changed their minds about what they wanted. Its not that weird to have your peers some years younger or older.

Just pick something, seriously. Anything. When people complain about millenials, this is what they mean, and I'm a fucking millenial. People your/my age haven't found some magic calling, they just picked something reasonable and stuck with it. If you can't do that, then you're fucking yourself over.
Just pick a trade or a useful college degree. There aren't any you absolutely love? Then pick one you can tolerate. It's either either work a shit job for the rest of your life for low pay, or work a shit job for most of your life for good pay. With the second option, at least you get to retire.
The "do what you love" saying is a meme. I'm sure it does happen, but I'd say 95% of the time you just have to pick something you're capable of that doesn't make you want to die, but that isn't necessarily amazing. Work is called work for a reason, you're being paid to do shit people don't want to do, or aren't capable of doing. Accept that.

This is a nice sentiment, but it doesn't make sense to dick away time doing nothing to "make up your mind". A decision shouldn't take years, and being old and inexperienced in a specific field is death. Plus, you're essentially using years up now that you could be using in retirement, with a good amount of disposable income and lots of free time.
Good luck OP.
