I really don't know what I want to do with my life. I'm going to school but I have no idea what I really want to go into. Well, I can't really say I have no idea what I want to go into; I do know what I would like to do. There are several things that I would like to do for a living but none of them are very practical. I love writing, which while it is something I am good at and enjoy doing; it is not a viable career option. And whatever I decide to do I can always write in my free time. I would also like to go into history or religious studies, which while fascinating, are again not really something I can make a career out of. This leaves me with a science related career. I like science. I have always found it interesting and it is something I am reasonably good at and there are always careers available.
I want to help people. But I really don't like people and I would prefer not to work with a lot of people. That removes careers like doctors, nurses, etc. from the list of possibilities. At first I thought being a veterinarian was the next logical choice. You don't really work with people and your patients can't talk. But being a veterinarian is very stressful and I don't think I could deal with sick animals and upset owners. I want to go into something in medical research. Working behind the scenes doing something to better the world is something I could see myself doing. Something like: studying genetics or cancer research or studying diseases. Working in a lab trying to find cures is a job I could do. It's only my first year of college so I have time to decide but I really don't know what I'll end up doing with my life.
