Feeling pretty lost

<p>Yeah, it's one of those again. Currently, I'm in my freshman yeah of college, I'm a year older because I took a year off after high school. Anyways, I'm not enjoying my current situation. I am in a program that I don't enjoy, it's a construction program, I'm failing my classes because I'm un-motivated to go to them because I don't enjoy them, have student debt that hasn't been paid off because over this past summer, I didn't attend the classes I signed up for, now I have no financial aid, and have no idea what I want to do with my life. My dad wants me to be in school, but I don't until I'm sure on what I want to do with my life. Only problem there is, he will completely toss me out on my own unless I have some sort of plan. I have thought about the military, but due to personal beliefs, I'm not sure it's for me. I enjoy working with computers (as well as playing video games :)) but that's all I like to do. I'm not even sure I'd be happy with a computer-related degree, which comes back to wanting to be 100% sure on what I want to do with my life. Basically, I'm looking for a little guidance on what my options are and what I should do and if anyone else as been in a situation similar to mine. Thanks.</p>

<p>You sound like you aren’t sure what you want, which makes it hard to stay motivated because you haven’t discovered your passion. I would visit the counseling center at your school as ask them to give you a career assessment such as the Myers-Briggs, something which would assess your strengths and areas of aptitude. If you are not enjoying your experience and are not going to class, I would quit school for the time being and get a full time job. Pay off your loans and save some money. Take a course or two at your junior college once you have enough money saved up. Sit down with your dad and explain your plan, and diligently look for the full time job and stick to it, at least for a year. Good luck!</p>
