I feel ya. I decided to take a couple months off after high school so I can get some money in my pocket.Your 17 still in school calm the fuck down. I'm 19 and don't even have a job atm.
Wise words.I heard Seth Kylian tell a story once about something Diago's father told him once " son, find one thing you like. Do that one thing long enough and eventually someone will pay you to do it."
with your new age and after your graduation you will find yourself with all this freedom. So much that it maybe overwhelming. You need to go out and figure out what exactly you care about and get involved in it. It can be anything at all, long as you enjoy it. Just step out of your comfort zone and try something you normaly wouldn't for fun. you never really know where a path may lead till tread.
Yeah thx what you did sounds like the best thing to do, cheaper and you give yourself time to think what you wanna do. What did you major in? if you dont mind me askingI took general classes (lots and lots of math lol) at community college for two years before I decided what major I wanted to work toward and transferred to a bigger school. Cheaper and less pressure while still earning college credit. Plus I got to live at home and work a part time job to save up even more money while figuring it out. Best of luck and don't stress too much, college years you're all young and healthy. Kinda guaranteed you're gonna look back on it fondly, even if you were confused... Which I think all 17 years olds are lol
I had med school aspirations at one point but ended up going for a major in biology, minor in chemistry.Yeah thx what you did sounds like the best thing to do, cheaper and you give yourself time to think what you wanna do. What did you major in? if you dont mind me asking
I know, it'd be nice to get out of highschool and know exactly what you want to do though. I'm sure there are some few people who have got it right the first time.. I like space science and cosmology alot. I did good in a Earth and Space Science class my school offered. Anything to do with space just really interests meEven if you did know what you want to do with your life, you probably would change your mind anyway.
What are you best/favorite subjects in school?

Cool, computer science is actually one that I am thinking about, I see computer and science, and I assume that I automatically like it, I really know nothing about it though. What is it like? and thx that is good advice.I was like you when MK9 came out at the end of my junior year and I was playing it non-stop and couldn't care less about school. Played MK9 all throughout senior year and never really thought about what I wanted to major in so I was undecided my first semester of college. Then I realized I liked video games and computers so I chose to major in computer science cuz I want to make games in the future or at least some sort of programming. So yeah you still have time to decide just don't stress out over it and make sure you choose something that you like to do, not what random people on a forum tell you.
Yeah i love BigThink and how philosophical they get, the videos were very enlightening. The ones I like to watch are Michio Kaku and Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye whenever they speak.
Ah, also some of my favorites.Yeah i love BigThink and how philosophical they get, the videos were very enlightening. The ones I like to watch are Michio Kaku and Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye whenever they speak.
At first I thought computer science had something to do with...well science and I hate science. but then I found out that it was computer programming which was what I wanted to do. I actually don't know too much about it, I just know that I should be able to make programs and possibly games in the future, and I heard that you can get some good jobs with a CS major. There might other people on this site with CS majors that know more than I do.Cool, computer science is actually one that I am thinking about, I see computer and science, and I assume that I automatically like it, I really know nothing about it though.

I wanted to be a musician in high school but now I want to be a game designer lol.thatgoon24
Don't fret too much about not being one of those people with an early vision of their future.
In highschool my dream was to be a game designer. Then I got into music. Then I played in a rock band and became a local music producer and studio engineer. Now I'm teaching english to chemical engineers in Mexico.
You can't plan where you go.
Go to like a community college and get some gen ed credits out of the way
Adds about two extra years to you finding a potential career!
1. If you start working hard now there is a small potential for you to make your living via injustice or just video games in general. The pipe dream version is that you will be able to make a living via sponsorships and tournament winnings, and the realistic goal is to try and get into the video game industry.I don't know what i'm doing with mine. I'm 17 and play Injustice Gods Among Us. The first quarter of my senior year just ended. Monday through Friday I sit through highschool until 2 pm, I get home, blast my favorite songs and start playing. I don't know what i'm doing with my life. Around 2 weeks ago, I was called down to the guidance office, my guidance counselor asked "what are you going to do after you graduate". My answer was "I don't know". After that I started thinking about my future a lot more lately, and I can't even see past tomorrow.
I don't want a career I wont enjoy. I don't want to feel like i'm just living though the motions. I want to be able to do the things I want. I want to live through amazing experiences. I want to change the world, I want to end something bad, or start something good. I want to invent something. I don't know what I want to do.
These are my only ambitions. There is an obvious problem here, so I ask of you TYM, what do I do?
Wow thats amazing. Sounds like you live you crazy lifethatgoon24
