Some advice for young individuals:
So you just finished high school and you have no clue what you want to go to college/university for, or what kind of career you want when you're older. I was 18 when I finished high school, thought I had it all figured out, knew what kind of path I was headed in but the truth is I really had no clue what I wanted to do, I didn't really take the time to think about what I was good at and what the best career path for myself would be. It costed me a year of university tuition in a program that I wasn't even remotely interested in but on the bright side it did lead me to a program that definitely fits better to my lifestyle - Marketing.
If you're having a difficult time figuring out what you want to do in life, what school to go to or what kind of job you want then you have to ask yourself what are you good at? Don't choose something because you don't know what else to do, get inspired! Imagine yourself when you're older having a job that you actually like instead of a job that just pays the bills. Think of how many possibilities are out there that you don't even know about.
Travelling is a good way to see whats out there, to experience different cultures and see how the rest of the world works. Getting a hobby (like blogging) might also help you to figure out what makes you happy. Don't be afraid to try new things because if you don't, chances are you won't discover what you really enjoy doing.
If you chose a certain path but you don't necessarily like it, you should still enjoy every moment of the experience because it's a way to learn from it, make mistakes that way you can make room for improvement and you can use it as a form of motivation later on in life.
