I don't feel like I know nearly enough. I gather you've been to college before, but dropped out. What didn't you like? What things do you enjoy doing? Why do you think you wouldn't like management? What are you good at?

There are so many possible professions it's hard to even know where to begin. You need to think of some ways to narrow it down.

Some questions you might start with.

Would I like to be my own boss or work for someone else?
Do I like working with children?
Do I like meeting new people?
Am I good at visualizing things?
Do I like seeing physical results of my labor?
Do I need a regular salary?
Am I detail oriented?
Do I get other people enthusiastic about things?
Am I good at selling things?
Do I like solving puzzles?
What jobs that friends have seem like fun? What seems attractive about them? What other jobs might be similar?
