I'm 14 and a freshman in highschool, but I have no idea what I want to do when I'm old enough to get a job. I don't know where I want to go to college or what to major in.. I can't even figure out what I'm good at. I don't have too many hobbies other than reading or chatting online.. (I really have no life..) Everyone is pressuring me to decide on something. What should I do?

14? I have friends who are 30 and don't know what they want to be when they grow up. Settle. I hate it when people tell high schoolers that if they screw up now their whole life will suck forever... high school is not the end all be all of life, you'll have lots of chances to change your mind.
That said, I'm an engineer so I think everyone should do that. It's fun. Only requires four years of college but it pays pretty darn good money for that. You get to play with toys and draw pretty diagrams. You get to work with quirky nerds who are used to you making fun of them. There are almost always jobs, unless you're unlucky and graduate in a real slump, which I was, but I still got a job. People told me engineering was boring and I'd want to stab myself after a year in it... not so. I love my job!
Then there are always those wussies who are like, "but it takes math! math is scary!" eh, math is only scary if you're totally incapable of breaking problems down into little steps, if you want the easy way out of everything. It's worth it. So take a math class every year, be sure to take a physics course, and be an engineer!
