What Am i Looking For?
19/f
okay so this is going to be kinda long so bare with me but I need help with finding a career. Ive been struggling with this ever since I was in high school I'm a freshmen in college right now. Im declared undecided but I have absolutely no clue as too why I am going to school the past two semesters in school I feel like were used for nothing. I feel like im a "multi-talented" person I like so many different things like I was thinking of fashion merchandising or broadcasting journalism or even something with animals but I feel like I cant have an "ordinary" job I know this sounds silly but ever since I was little I loved acting and wanted to be an actress I feel like I would be great at it my personality fits it but the thing is I know its not realistic. I've been to the career conselor I've done every test imaginable the meyers-briggs test or the test for your personality the questionaire with the scan tron everything but Ive found nothing that seemed excited or something I see myself doing for the long term when my test results gave me careers I would like they seemed interesting and I was kinda interested in them at some point in my life but they were just too "boring" for me. I seems like my career concelor and even my advisor are getting testy and impatient with me because I cant decide or what I'm leaning towards. My frusturated myself I feel like I'm wasting my money because I don't know an idea what to do I pick classes for fall semester next year on monday and I dont want to waste my money on classes just because their "fun" its gonna be my sophomore year and im supposed to pick classes as tooo what major im leaning towards but I dont have any suggestions! Im so frustrated I cry almost everyday just cause I feel like im wasting my time. It's not that I dont like school, I love learning and I actually like going to school. Im just so confused I dont know what to do. My parents cant seem to help either their frustrated as well but they want me to get a major in something but my mom said she dosent want me wasting money and said maybe I should have went to a trade school (and I wouldnt even know what trade school I would go too lol) but I guess I dont really need a question answered just some advice what do you think I should do? it seems to me like I've tried everything im out of ideas I'll take any advice you guys throw at me. Thank You So Much.

Well, maybe you need to take some time and really just experience life. Get a job, do a little traveling, enroll in some acting or singing classes on the side. See what captures your interest. You don't have to go to school right away, and I agree, if you aren't focused, its a waste of money, and who can afford to waste money these days. There is absolutely nothing wrong with just getting a regular job to make some money while you figure things out. Even that can help because you can learn a lot about yourself when you're working. You'll learn what you DON'T like and what you do like. Enrolling in individual classes on the side can give you a taste of the things you think you may be interested in without making a huge life commitment right away. Don't panic! This is the perfect time in your life to be experiencing doubt. You have no one but yourself to worry about for now, so just enjoy yourself. I promise, I PROMISE, you will become more clear over time.
