What if I don't know what I want to do with my life?

Hey! I know exactly how you feel I was in 9th grade last year and had the same feeling. At the end of the school year my counseler asked me what I “might” want to do when I’m older and I told her a bunch of things and she said that I shouldn’t worry about it because as I go through high school I’ll learn alot more about myself and what my interests are. Plus you have alot of time, so don’t worry. Must middle schoolers who I know came into the high school expecting themselves to have to pick one thing to do for the rest of there lifes later to find out that they really don’t have to worry. Also you really don’t have to choose one job to do for the rest of your life right after you graduate too. You can do something that you want to do and if it doesn’t work out try another job that you might be interested in. Good Luck! and if you have anymore concerns about school this year don’t hesitate to FunMail me! no matter how little the question may be.

                                                                                                                      ~Alanna

At your age it is 100% normal if you do not know or just hesitating of that how do you want to spend your life. If you feel the same when you are at 19, then it is time to be worry about it (but not much !!) Till that just live your 9, 10, 11 etc yo life.

Don’t sweat it. When I was in 9th grade I wanted to be a pilot but that didn’t work out. Then I wanted to be a musician but that too didn’t work out. Now I do computers and networks.

Just try to do well in all your subjects so you will have all your options open and you should be fine.

You shouldn’t worry about it too much. I’m 28 years old, and although I love my job, I know it’s not permenant so really I still don’t know what I want to do with my life. Just take life a day at a time and keep your eyes open to new experiences.

And know that whatever you may choose now, before college, during or after college, nothing is permenant if you don’t want it to be. I’ve know plenty of people who have done an about-face on thier career 10, 20, 30 years into thier career, perfectly happy and no regrets. Just make sure you like (better yet love) what you do, thats worth so much more than any amount of money (as long as the bills are covered!)

Oh yea and just to add I’m in 10th grade and still have no idea what I want to do when I’m out of high school lol
