***PLEASE do not let my topic affect you*** This is just me and my opinion for myself***

Right now im'ma freshman and i have been thinking about what I want to do. I realized I wanna be like someone who works in a warehouse and like gets items for online orders(If thats a job) or be like a stocker who constantly has to stock things or like flipping houses i think that would be so much fun to make a house from trashy to clean and nice. I dunno i think it would be fun, but I would want something that probably paid better since i know it probably doesn't pay too well. I mean i'll probably go through 4 years of college, but i mean its got me thinking. Anyone else ever think like i do?

flipping houses is difficult. it isn't a lot of fun, it's more stress.

right now im actually majored in business of some sort i forgot what. But i chose business just cause i'm not 100% sure what i wanna be and i though business is a pretty general major in my opinion.

College is a huge investment.  I really don't believe people should buy into it unless they know they want something that they can get from college.  If you want to dig ditches, college will just put you in debt and keep you away from your dream of digging ditches.  Of course, you can replace digging ditches with something like starting the world's largest software company.  Whatever.  If college can't do what you want, don't give them money.

I would just want to do the cleaning..like clean the outside of the house, make the lawn nice and crap, and like put new carpet in and crap like that not build stuff but i would have someone help me do that part of it.

there's a lot more to it than that. you need money and professionals.

you can lose a lot of money that way.. my grandpa used to flip houses, and he was really good at it, but he had the money to put into it and he had years of business school too

If you really do not know if you wanna go, find a community college, i know the one by me is  only $3,000 a year. It is a lot cheaper and is only 2 years. if you decide college is not for you its not as big of a hit to your pocket and if it is for you theres always the option of continuing.

Strangely, I was totally in your same situation less than a year ago.

I'm currently in college, but I thought it was a waste of time. I thought that I could just have a job without a college education for the rest of my life. After all, not everyone goes to college and not all jobs require college degrees! I was set on doing something simple, like being a secretary or a small manager somewhere and being content.

Now, I'm not saying this isn't right for you. However, you should give college a change. Once I found out what I wanted to do, my entire life changed. I went from feeling hopeless about college and viewing it as a waste of time to seeing it as a beautiful opportunity to learn, grow, and make the best of myself.

My suggestion to you: visit a career counselor at your college. They all have them! Set up an appointment (it's worth the small effort, I promise) and they will do wonders for you. You'd be surprised at what a little bit of direction could do for your entire perspective on life.

Just promise me you'll do that. Give it a shot, at least. :)
