Advice
I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but I am having such trouble finding a major/career path. I have no interests and I’m stupid. Well, I wouldn’t say I’m stupid. Once I understand something I’m good at it. However, I’m a heavy procrastinator with no motivations and constant brain fog. On top of all that I have no passions and few interests. I like making stuff occasionally, reading, and writing—or at least the idea of it, I haven’t actually written anything in years. There is nothing that those interest can do for me career wise. I’m only 18 so I know I have time to decide but I really don’t see myself anywhere. I feel very lost, like everyone but me knows how things work.
Right now I work at a gas station and I love it (the most you could love job I guess). It’s a simple job that is repetitive so I know what I need to do. I just want a simple job where I can make a livable wage. I don’t expect to be making significant amounts of money, just enough to support myself. I’m not opposed to going to school or getting certified. I’m actually in college right now completing my general studies requirements. The thing I find most difficult about trying to choose a major is knowing the job positions that become available with that major. I need a tangible idea of what it is exactly I am working towards.
For that reason I feel like I may be better off in a trade school where I’d be working towards one specific goal or even just getting a certificate that allows me to work in that field. Like a CNA certification. I’m afraid that I’m not smart enough for healthcare, science based careers, or math based careers. At the same time, I feel like I’m not sociable enough or persuasive/charming enough for marketing and communication positions. Nor am I analytical enough for business positions. It feels like I’m not good at anything and I’m terrified of being a burden. I guess I’m just looking for advice or ideas. If this isn’t the right place for that could you please point me in the correct direction.
