I need a goal

College Life
1

<p>The only thing that motivates me is the future. I only stuck it out through high school because my goal was to go to college. But I never really decided what to do after that, and guess what, here I am at college, indecisive, goal-less, and miserable. I need some suggestions for goals that are accomplish-able by me, and something rewarding. Please no “wise-ass” jokes. At this point, the only thing I think is funny is that I will even graduate with my indecision. </p>

<p>Here’s some things you might like to know (a few of my other goals):

  1. learn stocks
  2. study abroad
  3. do toastmasters (<a href=“http://www.toastmasters.com%5B/url%5D”>http://www.toastmasters.com</a>, it’s a program that helps you hone your public speaking and listening skills)
  4. speak/write/read Chinese fluently
  5. travel to France, China, Japan, Mexico, London</p>

<p>Obviously, it looks more like I’m leaning toward the business area. Correct! But guess what… I was not very smart the past two years and did everything but business! At that time, I wanted to engage myself with individuals who didn’t only care about money, and had deeper thoughts about the world and their life… but eventually I never even got to meet these individuals! Not that my life is filled with people who only cares about money, but I just never met the people I wanted to throughout my courses. I don’t mind working from bottom, which looks like that’s what I’ll do anyway. But even so, I will need motivation to continue working, and something to go for. Please help me. I’ve been so depressed lately. It is really too late to even try and do a business major now, so that is out of the question. But I need a motivation so that I won’t constantly be worried about my majors and always think about switching to business. If you really need to know, I want to double major in Philosophy and Chinese.</p>

<p>You won’t succeed in the financial world if you don’t know 100% sure it’s what you want to do. Down the line you’ll burn out REAL quick under the 80 hour workweeks. You have to know what you’re getting yourself into, and you have to enjoy it or it won’t be sustainable. You hear people talk about the money all the time, but it’s really not worth it if you hate it.</p>
