I have a similar sort of thing
some of my friends are nearly 30 and still have no idea what they want to do, yet went to university regardless and got themselves in to debt doing completely useless degrees. That kind of behaviour/mindset/indecisiveness boggles me.

Hello!
I didn't even find out what I was good at until past 25. It turns out, it had nothing to do with an English Lit with Philosophy degree.

Shame 'whinging on the internet' isn't more lucrative, eh?

Luckily for me, my skills can make me money
unlike consuming heroic amounts of drugs, which does rather the opposite.

Yes, but...'heroic', eh?
Sounds pretty cool, doesn't it? Kind of like a Viking or some shit.

That's precisely what I did/am still doing.

I studeied languages because that was my best academic subject.
I let people tell me that 'acting' wasn't a serious answer for 'what you want to do', so I never pursued it, which is a shame, because apparently I was pretty good.

I was very much looked down on for being the only person I know who didn't bother with a-levels, let alone uni.

I sometimes wish I had left school after GCSEs and gone straight into work.
I was pretty feckless as a student, but it is far easier to rise through the ranks in the world of work.
That said, I did enjoy sitting on my arse getting stoned for a few years before having to face up to real life.

I realised about halfway through my A Levels that I simply didn't give a shit
It's why I stopped considering Uni
