I don't know what to study after high school, I'm 18 and completely lost. I don't really have any crazy talents and I'm not noticeably good at any specific subject. I have a 3.6 GPA so, I'm pretty average.

I like working with people, like I wouldn't mind taking care of people and I'd consider myself a caring person. I'm not very athletic so anything needing strength is a no. I like things like true crime and psychology. I want a career that doesn't require many many years of school. I do not want to study things with complicated Mathematics and sciences like Physics and Chemistry. I'm a very creative person, I like art, but it won't make me any money.

I just want to be comfortable and be able to find a job.

Does anyone have any advice for anything to study or any potential careers? I'm so lost I don't know where to start.

you could study a profession at a trade school. it takes like 3-5 years in most cases. could hekp with getting a job in the future. idk what profession would work for you but just look up trade schools in your area and look at what they have to offer

I am in a career that is completely opposite of what I went to college for. Studied digital media but am now in insurance. Is art something you want to study after high school?

trade is very handsy work. I'm very weak and small I don't think I can work with cars or building or something.

art is a bit idealistic for me, there is no security of a guaranteed job. I wish, but I want to stay realistic.

the thing about being 18 is, you're still growing at a high rate
you could pick up tools and have thick forearms in 2 years

you say you like working with people
get a job in retail, see if you really do

What Your HS Guidance Counselor Won't Tell You

It really doesn't matter what subject you major in in college. Only about 25% of grads wind up working in the same field as their studies

The fact is that there is no subject that guarantees employment and none that makes you unemployable.So the real question is "What would you like to immerse yourself in for a few years?" regardless of whether it leads to a career.

If you're in the USA, colleges are constructed to help you find your passion. Whatever your major, only about 1/3 of your classes will be in that. The rest go to required-for-everyone courses, shop-around courses and electives. So you can take an introductory class in, say, psychology without committing to the field, and not be wasting time because it meets one of the general requirements.

Use your first year or so to shop around. Even if the college requires you to declare a major at the start, you can always change it (and more than 50% do(

Yeah spend 20k a year with no idea of what you want to achieve with it that's great advice

75% of people don't do what they studied because either they studied stupid subjects that don't lead to jobs or they went in without a clue of where they wanted to end up and discovered they didn't want to do it or life got in the way when they were done.
It's not worth getting 100k or whatever it costs for amerilards these days if there's a good chance you're never even going to use it.

Going to college to find yourself or follow your passion is a retarded jewish trap. If you don't know what to do, find a job, learn about the world, about yourself and about what you want/don't want in a job while saving money. Then if you set your heart on something and it requires a university degree and it's worth getting into debt slavery for it go ahead.

I'm Jewish, and I found college very helpful. I learned a lot of interesting things, wrote papers I was proud to put my name on, and it ultimately led me to a fulfilling and lucrative legal career. What do you mean its a trap for jews?
