So serious question, what is it you want to do with your life? I'm really annoyed I studied business for years and I just cant get a job, tbh I don't even know if its what I want to do but it seems like there really is nothing going right now in any sector. And regardless of the recession I don't know if it would make a difference in my career path decision, I'm 22 and feel like my life is going nowhere and this is because of nothing knowing what I want to do, and the fear of it being to late for me.
What do you want to do with your life...?

My thoughts exactly. I studied business and IT at uni, and am left with barely any job choices (regardless of this course being something that should be good for so much). I do fortunately have a job at home which is just writing reports for companies, but it's not exactly my ideal job.
The one thing I have to say to you is that it is never too late to change your career paths entirely, so long as you have the money to study the new path (possibly?).
In all honesty, I still have no idea about what my perfect job would be, but maybe that'll be found out as life progresses.
Don't worry too much about it all. It's easy to say, but...try not to

Yeah thats the thing.. to change career path you gotta have the money to study which you cant get as there are next to no jobs, it really is a catch 22, I guess whats a big downer for me is I have a one year old son I need to support, if it was just me alone I'd probs just lay in bed all day but I really need to get out and do something. I've been applying for job after job had interview after interview for them to tell me I need experience.. why they wasted my time to call me in for that when they would have seen my CV is a mystery. Just had enough, really need money in my pocket right now... I'd work for next to nothing just to have a little money in my pocket.My thoughts exactly.

I studied English at University for two years and left. So massive debt and nothing to show for it I play music in a band and somewhere in my mind I'd love to succeed in that. Not that I want to be 'a celebrity' and make money. I'd like to just be able to support myself financially doing something I love. My second passion is probably Science and Nature so I'd like to go back to college and do a science access course. Then I could go back to Uni and get a Science degree.
Until I manage to accomplish one of those endeavors I'm stuck working in a stationary shop

I don't really think about this stuff, I kinda just go with the flow. But right now I am very unhappy with my job and my life, I want nothing more than to sell up my house, quit my job and go traveling. I have no idea what i want to do with my life at this moment other than that. I just want to relax without the worries of a house and a job...I wanna do the stuff I missed out on while I'm still young.
I dont know about you guys but living in England seems to be one big tax! its like you are working just to survive, alot of people dont really stop and think about this system.. its like work to survive or die.. My dad works everyday of the week 7am-6pm and I cant help thinking whats the point... you are basically living at work! My family are from Jamaica and where my mum is from is quite a poor area and you'd be shocked to know they are much happier than the people I know who earn 40k a year.
If they need food they can grow it in their gardens, they can literally live of the fat of the land, its always sunny so they spend their time playing sports and if one person has a ball then the whole community comes out. I must have seen about 70 people playing football at once it really is a nice feeling. But then I look at England where people are much more fortunet but still very much unhappy.

Ah, if what you say about England is true, then that must be why Lord Regal is so mad all the time. Still love him regardless! 
Anyway, I'm studying for video game designing. My dream is to work for Square Enix as a game designer and story writer. I don't mind all the work that comes with that. I'm a perfectionist, so I'll want to work hard, and will likely never be completely satisfied with my work.
However, my real dream would be to work for WWE as a storyline writer. Damn, if I did that, even if just for one day, I'd be happy for life.
Now that THQ is down the tube, I can't achieve my dream there. I wonder who's gonna work on WWE games now?
So anyway, I'm looking at trying to do story writing and video game designing. If I'm lucky I'll get to work for Square and work on the FF series.
I'm also gonna be the biggest wrestling fan I can be. To show my support for it. I'm gonna go to Every show I can, buy every product I can, all of it! Can't wait!

My life isn't exactly where I want it to be.
I'm still looking for another job and it's taking awhile to find something new because while there are many jobs out there, I'm trying to find something that I think I'll like and that will serve me for the long run. Ultimately, with the money that being a nurse provides, I know I'll be able to be independant so I won't have to rely on finding someone else to be with simply to be able to survive, which is nice. I do like the field that I went into, and I'm so happy I had the emotional endurance and personal drive to be able to get me through two college degrees. So as for the long run, I see myself working until retirement so I can live comfortably thereafter.
Right now I'm not exactly living how I want to. I want my own condo and a chance to be on my own...but I have to have a job first, so that's been put on hold.
Relationship-wise, I've always been the quieter type. I'm not a big bar or club person anymore, and I have for the most part one single friend left. I just don't care anymore. I'd rather be happy and alone without worrying I'm being used then be miserable in a relationship with someone who doesn't bring out the best in me. I haven't settled for less in the past and I don't plan on doing it in the future.
I still want to do some traveling in the future though. Theres soooooooooooo many places I'd like to see and visit, and while it sortof hurts that I don't have a family right now, I also don't have that holding me back from it...so I guess that's kindof nice.
I'm not looking forward to getting old, but with the state of the world today, I feel sorry for the young.
