I'm 19 and I have no fucking idea what to do with my life.

Are you in school? What are you studying if so?

I'm 18, engineering student. I hope to get my degree in eng then go to law school and become a lawyer (I hope that an eng degree will make me desirable because people usually associate engineers with intelligence and if not being an engineer can get me a job as a plan b).

But I hope at some point when I have a comfortable job to take some time off and use some money I've saved up to buy equipment/studio time and record an album. I'm a massive /mu/fag and am really passionate about it, and it is my dream to someday record my own album (even if two people ever listen to it, it's more for myself anyway). I just hope I still feel as passionate about it by the time I get enough money to actually do it.

I don't know why I'm typing this all out, but we are similar age and I suppose telling you my plan helps in some way or maybe gives you some ideas.

Learn what you're good for and get paid mad bucks for it.
Do what you love as a side thing/hobby or it may become the thing you hate.

You know all those adults you've encountered that have given you "I didn't know what I wanted to do until I was 26!" stories?
Yeah.
They're right.
Almost always.
My last boss, a project manager for banking software, has a degree in animal sciences. He never once thought he'd prefer what he does now over what he studied.

Here's a key piece of advice a cousin gave me: Education isn't going anywhere. If you take a year off now or later, it doesn't matter. It doesn't make university evaporate. We're conditioned to think we need to automatically already have our career figured out but there's 0 harm in changing your degree several times or even not studying for a few years.

I'm 23 and I'm only just now back in uni, slated to graduate in fall 2018 thanks to hammering summer classes. I dropped out at 19 and worked for 4 years until I bumbled into a software QA job that showed me I had a serious knack and love for programming.

Study whatever you like, and if you don't know then try random classes. Things you've never tried before. You have no idea what you might end up liking, even if it sounds stupid.

Yea. In may I have an exam that defines what universities I'll be able to study on. I'm writing it from biology and chemistry, so I can pursue studies only in connected fields. The problem is- I don't find any of those interesing.

You don't need a passionate goal to be driven in life. Everyone still has their idea of what a comfortable life is and if you want that life then you still have a goal, doesn't have to be passion driven.

I don't have such an idea. Told you I'm big time fucked.

I'm in the same boat too. 18 and have had no fucking clue what to do with my life for my entire life. The idea of college scares me.
