When you left high school, did you know what you wanted to do or were you still undecided? (1 Viewer)

[Yerichu]

I was still undecided on what to do even after leaving high school
While others already have decided or maybe are skeptical of their options, I was still undecided ​

I’m still undecided technically, just have a general relam of what I wanna do

I was undecided up until my last semester of my first year. I didn't want to settle with any major just to get a degree so I picked something that I involved my main interest and that was fashion (more specifically fashion merchandising)

Knew what I wanted to do, but wasn't enrolled in any college

Undecided

Sort of?

i knew what i wanted to do since my junior year, however, now that I'm in a university, my mind is wavering a bit. in the sense that i would like to double major. I've been thinking about how practical dentistry would be lately.

in terms of future career?
undecided
in terms what I wanted to study at uni - very much decided

I was undecided. Eventually started studying nursery, didn't work out, quit school, kept working at my side job in the supermarket, still stuck there now as my main job. I feel like deciding what you want to do at the age of 15/16 is too young.

I knew I wanted to do some kind of office work like both my parents did. I tried accounting as a major, but that didn't work out bc it was so helplessly hard! So I dropped out after that year was over. I still do want to do office work, but I'll need a job developer and a good JD is hard to find, imo. lol

I just graduated high school but by the end of my junior year, I knew exactly what I wanted to do following high school. I would be going to a local university and getting my Business Economics degree. This might change but I'm glad I had an idea of where I was going and what I was doing. Like a literally did not have a backup choice. It was this school or nothing (which I got into so I'm happy about that).

But I don't know why you need to have a solid plan of what you're doing after high school. Your brain isn't fully developed yet, and we still receive so much pressure to choose what we want to do for the rest of our lives. I believe you should have an idea by your senior year of whether you plan on going to college, joining the workforce or military or going to a trade school. But you shouldn't have to make a full, set-in-stone decision.

I had no idea, somehow it took me 4-5 years to know
