Life Plans
Well... I have none. I'm in my last year of high school, and I've no idea what I want to be... or rather, too many ideas. There's so much I enjoy doing, I don't know what to pick. Should I be an engineer? That involves lots of math, which I'm not too good with. How 'bout an architect? That's not a very well-paying job, and with the standard house designs they're not needed much. A Musician? The chances of succeeding there are so slim it's crazy. How about an artist? Same as music. A computer animator? I've not focused enough time on this to even know if I like it enough to pick a career of it.
And then if I do decide... what do I do? How do I pick a college? How the heck do I pay for college/university? What about shelter and food? I've no money saved up, and my parents have been barely scraping by all these years. I've never lived poor, always had a good life with good things, but never any money to spare - so nothing from them. Grandparents maybe? Even so, there's no way they'll have anywhere near enough. I don't even have a starting job yet.
What about a car for when I get my license in december? I can use my parents' for awhile, but after I move out?
there's lots of you guys/gals that have been through this. Can anyone offer me some advice, or guidance? I'm sort of lost in the sea of the real world. I can't even focus on my math homework...
