I don't know, there's a lot of things I want to try out and do but I can't think of a solid career to do :\
Is there some sort of test or something that can clearly forms a solid answer? I've taken like, tons and none of them really helped. I'm longing to go to a different school but I can't really think of anywhere to go.
I don't know :(

You could wander the earth barefoot like David carradine in Kung fu.

Except instead of shaolin wisdom you speak to people using commercial and marketing slogans.

Well, that depends on the stage of life you're in. How old are you? Are you currently in high school or college? If college, what are you currently majoring in? What are your interests and hobbies? What classes were you most proficient in during high school?

If you can get a broad idea of what you're good at along with a range of interests, you can simply go to any labor advisory site to get an idea of careers within those areas. From there, you try learn as much as you can about a handful of careers then see if you can't get an internship.

Aptitude tests in/around high school told me I should have been a forest ranger.

I'm a dispatcher/yard controller for UPS and studying to become an Air Traffic Controller (also for UPS).

Don't listen to those things. I hate the outdoors.

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you don't know what you plan on doing with your major, then there's little meaning in staying in college and paying more of that damned American tuition.

Fact- no one in college really knows anything. That's the POINT of Colllege. To figure it out. Let him figure it out.

The system sucks jokes aside. But he'd there and it's done. Let him reP the benefits. Then figure out what you wanna do. Don't put that kind i f pressure on your self. You can do it. But if you pressure yourself too much unrealistically too much you will always fail because you can never live up the constantly changing fictitious goal you. Want to achieve

Yeah, you're right. He's been in college for one year max. It's very likely too soon to call it quits.

Well hey, if you want to hear about childhood fantasies I wanted to colonize Venus when I was a kid. I love space and I read a lot about it so maybe that would be a good path. not sure

Sure people have already mentioned it here but in theory your dream career is just a combination of your hobbies/passions and your skills.

So I was always good at maths and physics, which led me into engineering. But I also love houses and interior design, which opened up the idea of working in real estate.

So now I work for a property developer as a design manager, combining my degree and my hobby/interest.

Best piece of advice i can give is do A LOT of networking, see what's out there and enjoy your time

Stressing about bull shit will happen the rest of your life. I seriously recommend you just go to meetings or join clubs you find interesting and I'm sure you'll find something

I got that too. And agricultural worker. Which I never took seriously but one of the state schools here has a nationally accredited agricultural science BA. Should have done that.

Honest Advice:

If you don't know what you want to do and you are taking out loans, STOP NOW.

Find out what your local community college offers and go get an associates in one of those programs. Get a job afterwords, work a few years, and you will probably figure out what you want. (or at the very least what you don't want).

You can always go back and finish your degree - and most community college credits will usually transfer.

If someone else is footing the bill or you have some kind of full ride - stick it out. A degree is a great thing to have.
