Hey Guys,

Just curious to know that at what age did you know what you wanted to do with your life? I know that probably half of you still don't know what you want to do with yourselves (Myself included) I think that it is hard to just straight up choose a career, study major or whatever at a young age. I have just turned 20, and have no real clue about what I want to do as a career. I am basically the "Jack of all trades, master of none" guy. Is anyone else here in the same boat?

I'm 22 and still don't know.

For most of my years, I wanted to be a Computer Programmer. Until I started taking advanced C++ classes and hated every second of it. Then I wanted to be an IT guy. Started taking some related classes (for free) and hated every second of it. Then I wanted to be a Graphic Designer, designing music covers, advertisements, and the like. I liked the classes but the professors only wanted stuff done in their image (example: a minimalist professor will push you towards minimalism). Went for Civil Engineering and last year, I realized I'd absolutely hate the major.

I'm getting a much clearer picture though. I've always wanted to involve myself in the public, not private sectors. Growing up dirt poor eating ramen noodles, I wanted to start helping people getting out of the situation I was at (or those who were worse off than I), I knew I needed to be in the public. So my new plan is to be an officer in the military, and then begin a political career. Still fleshing out the details of course.

Other than that, what are your passions? What gets you up in the morning? I lift weights but I also read. I follow politics very closely from all over the world, not just in the US. So I knew going down the political/military route was a safe bet.

I'm almost 26 and I haven't the faintest clue.

I like to travel, meet new people, work out, drink beer. In the last couple of years I have been a volunteer firefighter, army reservist, bartender, bouncer, waiter, salesman, handy man and a pizza maker. I have a lot of experience for someone my age. I can't see myself sitting in a boaring lecture theatre for 3 or 4 years, so I guess university is out of the picture. I have lived all over my country and abroad and I still can't make up my mind about what I want to do...

I've been a cashier, waiter, cook, grocery bagger/stockboy, pizza driver, cartographer, grill chef, digital output specialist, manager, graphic designer, security electronics instalation technician, railway equipment repairman (and can operate a locomotive), bartender, and pre-press graphic design (that is, I fix graphic designer's mistakes all day).

Random sh¡t.

I know what I want to be...

a "mountain man".

Random, but I want to live off the land as much as I can, perhaps even turn a profit. I want to take "doing what I love" and turn it into my "profession".

That's going to take land, lots of land. I've got my eye on 240 acres and I'm saving for a huge downpayment. I will eventually build my own log cabin to live in. These are my goals. And, when I make the move, I will have enough cash/investments in the bank making money to afford me an "early retirement".
