People are conditioned to think that they HAVE to know what they wanna do when they "grow up" from a young age. There's a guy who works in Blockbuster Video near me and has been working there for as long as I can remember, bearing in mind I've been a member at my local one since 92. I'm pretty sure when he was a kid he didn't think "I wanna be a video store clerk".
Some people never become want they wanted to be but enjoy what they DO eventually become, alot more. I know someone who works in a music store but planned to do accounting. Is a far cry from what she planned but she enjoys her job and has a good time doing it.
Don't let it get you stressed out Tears, some people change jobs until they're 30+. My Dad has had the same job since he was 17. Now he's 53 and the best claims manager in London. My Uncle however went from working in pet stores to being a substitute teacher to being a top Safety Inspector.
Just get the grades you want to and then just do whatever takes your fancy. You don't have to enter your lifes work at 20.

and what did they say there about the courses you have to take and such? still all interesting after that?I mean, if you knew both sides of the job; cause i.e. archaeologist (sp) sounds fun when you actually do find something, the problem is you'll spend most time trying to find something to dig up...
Thats just it, that job is kinda out, cause really how much more is there to find ๐
And I took those tests things, but they dont narrow it down at all, they say my options are open ๐
But yes, I know which courses I have to take in uni, but they all sounds pretty impressive ๐ฌ
