that is because you lingered too long at the play ground!. !. BUT alas, there is time!!. Really, I got two degrees long after I was 30!. My masters when I was 42 and my doctrine when I was 50!. I now have choices I never dreamed I would have and one of those choices is not to use any of them!.!.!.!.just enjoy the joy of learning without all the pressure to do something!. Or I can set up shop doing anything, I can teach, I can be a consultant and I can give speeches (actually people pay me), but you know what I love doing, I love drawing and creating my greeting cards!.!.!.!.! That's my love and that's what I do!.!.!.!.for now!.

Do what your heart tells you, really, go on, take a step in one directions, IF it is NOT the place for you, you can turn and go another!. Enjoy your life, do it well, and you will enrich yourself and those you love and all of mankind!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would say that if you are thinking about it, then you're at least starting to try and figure it out!.
Thinking about it in and of itself will not be enough!. You must search yourself, if you don't already know where your interests lie and what you feel passionately about!.
Do you hope to start a family, travel, what is it you want to do!. It's important to establish this goal because the mind is like a homing device!. Once you establish that goal you will inevitibly begin to make decisions and take actions toward that end!.

Don't take it too seriously though, you've got to have fun and live along the way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You need to find a goal that you are passionate about and give it your all!. If you put everything you can into it you will get just as much out of it!. Figure out what makes you happy, formulate a goal and do it!. you will be surprised what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it! seriously! I know its chliche to say that, but I have a goal in sight and I am doing everything in my power to reach that goal!. So far I have accomplished more then I ever thought I was capable of! anyway good luck! if you believe in yourself, there isnt anything you cant accomplish!. (for the most part)Www@QuestionHome@Com

my brother is 30!.!.he doesnt care what he does for work (did everything from being a janitor to working at starbucks) his life goal is to travel to every country in the world and wants jobs that he can just save enough $$$$s to take off for a year or 2 and not worry about "leaving a career behind"!. already been to over 80 countries!. worst part is he has a degree from an Ivy league school which he is doing nothing with!.

so yeah dont worry about the work you choose to do, it should only be able to support the life you choose to live!. Work to live, not live to work!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I really hope that doesn't happen to me! Academically its better to know earlier but nevertheless its not too late! Some people my age (16) panick and say what they want just for the sake of having a path even if its not really want they want-This sounds worse to me than your situation!.

Are you content with your life!? If so keep patient and maybe one day you will know-It might be tomorrow or it might be in 20 years time-It doesn't matter!.

Good luck and all the best,
