19 y/o, aimless
| I haven't experienced it personally, but I have a brother who seems to be going through the same thing. He went through uni for a couple years but had no desire to be in school. This semester starting in January he's looking for a job until he can figure things out.
I'm hopeful that some introspection and some exploration might help him find a career that, even if it's not ideal, is acceptable in the temporary so that he can get work towards moving out and entering a new chapter
| ...of his life
| When I was younger I remember there were all these attempts at reforming the messed up systems we have.
Turned out, it's not just broken it's rotten to the core and fights hard to stay that way.
OP, you're not gonna be satisfied following someone else's advice or trying to live up to the impossible standards of society. Do some soul searching. Travel if you can. If you don't know what you want, then only you can get out there and find it for yourself.
| >>148026 I started studying architecture but quit halfway through the semester. It felt more like it was more for the sake of studying than anything else. I had no idea what to do and so I started this, because it sounded interesting. Little did I know that it's really stressful (according to a lot of people I met even a lot more stressful that other courses.)
So I figured that that's not worth the effort for something I don't wanna do long term.

Becoming a bum is quite a fashion you know. You have no interest in receiving education. But of course. Working at mcDonnalds is so much better than raising up the personal interest. School is no fun at all yo. Soon you will find out that life is way worse and school is there to prepare you to face it in countless of fronts. You have failed several already.
Yea, go travel for a while. Look at the World. You still have a shot at saving yourself from complete idiocy.
| Hey op I was in the same boat when I was that age too. Ended up dropping out, did some soul-searching for nearly a year,and now I'm in a different school on a completely different track, but I'm a lot happier with it.
If you think where you are right now is wrong, don'tbe afraid to drop it and try something new.
Err. Assuming you can afford it. Best of luck
| Try trade school
| Do not jump right into a profession education. What is important right now is finding what fits you. Do some different research on different jobs, like health care, trade, business, etc. Learn about each and when you find one you know you can actively see yourself doing then start taking the steps to do it.
I also recommend taking an out of country trip before starting it too, either by your self or with your friends.

| I just feel helpless at the moment. Fresh out of school I started studying right away. I quit that because I didn't like it at all. Now the semester is almost over and I have no clue what to do. My parents are desperately pushing me to do something after that, I however have no idea what. I don't have many interests and the few I have are difficult to turn into a job. I just feel aimless.
Has anyone of you guys ever experienced this? If so, how did you deal with that?
