I don't know what I wanna do with my life?

What are the options?

Number 1 priority: Earn enough money to live on your own. Move out of parents’ house.

It may help to remember that you don’t have to decide now for the rest of your life. Pock a direction that appeals to you for now, that you can survive on and go for it. You keep figuring things out and changing throughout your life. Try to think about the next five years and what makes sense for them.

I’m much older than you and I still don’t know what I want to do with my life. It’s not unusual to not know what to do with your life, or to change directions a few dozen times over your life time.
What makes you happy? What interests you? You don’t have to make decisions this minute, but start to do something to direct your life in a way you want it to go.

In the words of Joseph Campbell, “Follow your bliss”. What dreams did you have that you are so certain will not give you an income?

Many people live life like that only. Try to decide what is best for you and stick to it no matter what. Don’t give up on any dreams as yet since you’re so young. You can achieve anything if you put your heart and soul in it.

You could get a Master’s degree and your options would expand. Just one more year of school . Then get an apartment you can easily afford and save money for a house.

Don’t try to be a great man , just be a man. You can save money and take care of your health until a passion comes up.

Yeah.. Fuck the idealistic bullshit. Doing what you love is for the 1%.. Accept your soul crushing daily grind. It is the torture everyone around you is going through.

I love writing computer code. I do it in my spare time. I fucking dread every hour I am paid to do it.

You will never be happy, The plan is to minimize the hours where eating that bottle of oxy on your desk from your last bout of epididymitis seems like a great idea.

Not a single person I know actually would go to work with a billion dollars in the bank. My advice.. Do what hurts less.

And nobody knows what they want to do in their mid-twenties. Unless you are psychopath.

Be flexible.

And the OP hasn’t come back to tell us what her “few options” are yet…

I believe that you can do whatever you want, as long as you have a clear plan how you can reach that goal, and have a backup plan.

The problem is that this OP doesn’t seem to even know what she wants, judging from her history, let alone what she can do for income. She only said she wants to be famous, but doesn’t know what for. Even the idealists of us used to tell her she needs to find what she wants and work on it, many times, but then she keeps asking the same thing. She also doesn’t seem to be able to endure the hard work for success.

Unless she comes back and tell us what the few options she found in the details, I’m afraid this will just become another “my life is going to shit” rant like the others.

Oh man. Me too, dude. Me too.

I guess just get a good job, save up, get a house/ stable living place, and go from there. Good starting point I think.

@dopeguru Wow. If you are single you have time to “try out” any number of things before you latch on one you want to stay with. What things interest you? And it seems to me there is nothing wrong or abnormal with your situation. Try not to feel pressured.

You have really only two options. All choices fall into one of them. Option 1: Do something that you love to do. Good part is that you enjoy what you do and can enjoy going to work. Bad part is that what you love to do may not pay much. Option 2: Do something that will make you lots of money. Good part is that you will have money and stuff. Bad part is that you may not enjoy going to work.
I believe most people end up with option 2. Hopefully the job you take doesn’t take all your time. I believe in working to live, not living to work.

That’s tricky you know. I remember that when I was your age, I had the same problem – what to do in life? Well, tried my hands at different things and ultimately stuck to one. My advice to you will be to know what things you like in life and what makes you happy. Follow something related to that and that would surely not bore you out. You’ll have to listen to yourself.
