The Indecision Decision

<p>It seems most people mostly know what they are going to study or major in in college by their senior year or even junior, most colleges even give people a year to decide just in case.</p>

<p>Even when people do not know definitely what they plan to do with the rest of their lives, they still have set interests, ideas, loves, or maybe a passion. Most are engrossed in something they care about even the nu-beatniks that sit around and play guitar (other than the ones who sit at home and chow down on twinkies cheetos and talk about how good they are at skateboarding. They don’t even own skateboards).</p>

<p>But the problem with this is that the tried and true method of growing up and acquiring traits, likes and dislikes, or a general idea of what’s pleasant to do is broken in some aspects; it doesn’t work for me.</p>

<p>More or less, everything bores me eventually. I may get into one thing, then move on in a flash. Some times and idea/thing sticks with me fro a while, sometimes it is rid of the next day. Somethings like playing guitar seem infinitely interesting, full of boundless potential, limits, and inertia. But as bill clinton once said (according to wikipedia):</p>

<p>“Sometime in my sixteenth year I decided I wanted to be in public life as an elected official. I loved music and thought I could be very good, but I knew I would never be John Coltrane or Stan Getz. I was interested in medicine and thought I could be a fine doctor, but I knew I would never be Michael DeBakey. But I knew I could be great in public service.”</p>

<p>Though this could be due in part to my introvertism, or just my base personality. I do not know.</p>

<p>What are some ideas to find out what I could do? Life, career, in general.</p>

<p>You don’t need to know what you want NOW. I would suggest a college with a good liberal arts education, so you can explore everything.</p>
