I had no idea what I wanted to do in High School, but I can tell you that there are a lot of people in University that have no idea what they want to do either. <br /> <br />University is great and all, but I think it's important to have something in mind before you go to school and spend the thousands of dollars and get into debt and still not know what you want to do. <br /> <br />There's nothing wrong (in my mind) with getting out of high school and going to work. Not only will it give you great life experience, but (at least in my case) it will show you how much more you can do with specialized training or a university degree that is specific to the field of work you want to get into. <br /> <br />I went to work right out of high school and tried my hand at a few jobs before I went back to school (which I am back at now), now I am training for something that I know I want to do and make a career out of it. <br /> <br />I think the bottom line I am trying to get across is get into something that YOU want to do, not what all your friends are doing, or what you parents say you should do, or what you feel like you should be doing. <br /> <br />Do what YOU want to do, life is much more enjoyable that way.
