What to do when you don't know what you want to do?

So I am sort of lost. I am a really smart dude but I have NO idea what I want to do. So I spend my time messing around and never accomplishing much.

So I buy an Anthony Robbins cd on Half.com. I figure what the hell. Well one of the first things he says is that we have to know what we want. I have not a clue.

Seriously I am open to any suggestions to help my situation.

 

i don't know, never been in your situation. i know 100% i want to make tons of money so i spend all of my time trying to do it

 

Try lots of different things, or see what other people do. Maybe you could get a few ideas.

 

From your words, i see you have the will.
Do you have the ability?

PM me if you feel like getting involved into some serious online business. Good luck.

 

Are you talking for a career or for a certain period in your life? So what I get frm your last sentence is that you start doing things and dont accomplish them, is this because you lose interest on them or because you are trying to do too much at once concentrating on other things?

Before you (or anyone..) can figure out what you want, you have to know where you are starting from..

Theres tons of stuff in life, from love to careers to everything inbetween. So when you say you 'don't know what you want', what aspect of life are you talking about?

As far as a career is concerned, think about what interests you right now, then interview a few people in each of the fields that relate to what you're interested in. See what they have to say about what they do, what they like, and what they don't. It'll at least give you an idea of what might interest you. You'll probobly even be surprised by what is involved in each of them, and how many people would love to have the chance to tell someone interested about what they do.

 

The thing is that everything interests me (well not everything)

I have a masters in chemistry. I didnt finish the phd. Everyone says go back.

But ok it would be good money but if I list the top things i want to do it doesnt even make the list. Same for pharmacy school.

I like helping people build projects up. I like making others money. I like developing. I just don't know how to get there. I applies to all facets of life. Whether it is a local organization or a web site.

I can see myself getting an MBA just as much as going to tech school for programming.

 

Find your passion in life and go for it. Why hold back? As far as schooling goes, wouldn't you rather apply what you learn instead of going for yet another degree?

 

Yeah but my passion has no description. Give me an idea and I can run with it. Need a team of folks I got them. I would jump on a project and work on it for free in lue of someone paying 50 bucks an hour to do something repetitive.

My passion fits in no category I know of.
