Took me fucking ten years to figure out what I want to be 
I'm actually happy that I "took the time"(aka was lazy) because I was a fucking tard ten years ago.

That's my thought to. I figure going to community for gen eds would be best for now.

I smoked pot and was like...I like plants.
I took shrooms and was like this shit is philosophical.
Then I I was like plants can help people.
Now I'm like botany and phytochemistry.
Eventually I'll be like phd entheobotanist store for the well being and health of others.

Definitely considering that road as well.
I like the brain though, so neuroscience is perfect. Like how does that shit fuckin work?
So complex.

I thought of doing that. Didn't seem like a viable career to me. It's more business than ethnos.

I still haven't figured it out and I'm almost 30. I have to admit that I don't spend a second per month asking myself the question either. A couple years ago it annoyed the shit out of me. Now I don't care anymore, I don't even think about it.

I found out what I was reasonably good at and what could sustain the life I want to live. I'm not totally happy with it, but I'm happy enough to do it indefinitely.

It took me a long time. I messed around with a lot of different things over the years, and nothing stuck. I got sick of working dead end jobs, but I was a drug addict with no real path. How I eventually figured it out starting with me getting clean. I started lifting weights while in rehab, and that became my primary hobby, and remains so today. I go out of rehab & jumped into NA, following all of the suggestions; sponsor, home group, write on steps, etc.... My job was really dragging me down, and it was either find a new one, or go back to school. I wanted to go back to school, but I didn't know what for, and I told my sponsor that. He asked me what my hobbies were, and at that point in time, with less then 6 months clean, all I could think of was working out.
So my sponsor suggested that physical therapy would probably be a good fit. There is a program in my state called OVR that gives assistance to people with disabilities in finding employment, and that includes financial assistance for school. Addiction is a considered a disability, which I learned while in rehab when they told us about the OVR program. So I applied for OVR assistance, and was granted it.
When I met with my counselor, I mentioned physical therapy. She recommended that I look into occupational therapy as well. I had never heard of it, it sounded like counseling people about jobs, which didn't interest me at all. I was interested in helping people via the medical field. It turned out that I was way off base. Occupational Therapy is also branch of the medical field. Whereas PT focuses on just treating the injury, with a focus on the lower part of the body, OT is a holistic approach (treat the whole person; mind, body & spirit) in order to assist patients with a variety of physical & mental disorders/injuries in order to for them to become as independent in functioning as possible. The term occupation refers to any meaningful activity that one engages in. There is also a heavy focus on the upper body. Basically, OTs & PTs work together to maximize recovery.
Hearing all that blew me away. That was right up my alley. a OSS friend of mine, poke smot! here on the forums, lost most of his arm, and most of his fingers on the other arm in a 4th of July accident. Many of you are probably aware of that. Seeing how he was able to bounce back from that & regain independence has been inspirational to me, and learning about a career where I could people do the same immediately felt right. So I busted my ass, got Ito the program, and the more I learned/participated in fieldwork, the more I fell in love with it.

that is hardly true. i just figured out what i wanted to do after many, many years of thinking (and slacking), and it's VERY possible for me to attain my goals.
i'm a decade over your 17-19 age range.
