Hi.

Is it normal to change your life ambitions almost every day? I'm 18, and feel if i don't think of something soon, i might run out of time! I'm currently in a job, as an estate agent (real estate) but its not my PASSION. My passion, is music, and i'd like to become a singer-songwriter, as i love writing and recording songs (piano, orchestras arrangements), and i also love producing. And rapping. So, i love the whole music scene. I just dont know what catergory i'd fall into in that even. I grew up listening to rap, but i also think in some aspects, i wouldn't make a good rapper.

Will i know in time what i'd want to do?

Thanks very much,

Josh

    One more thing I banned rappers. Only because my ex is awesome, he found a way into music production which is awesome. However like I said research. It makes money but there were a lot of grimy people who pretend their your friends but want to manipulate and use. I liken it to porn. You gotta know the right person or use some of your serious sales to get noticed like 50. Otherwise they will chew you up and not care. I'm not saying you won't make it. Just make sure you keep grounded with your job and family. Man they'll use their words and away even the best men get taken.

    Its completely normal. Try taking the MBIT and the strongs test. They are vocational assessment tests offered at your college. They list what people who match your skills, likes and dislikes are incredibly happy doing. I told my kiddo look after you take these tests pick the top subjects that best fit you and see if they offer a certificate as something lower in the field. Like to the RN there's the C.N.A. or patient care tech. They make more than min wage because they require training a few short mo. But it let's you know will I like this field and allows you to make better money while you explore. Or if she would just get an assoc degree in something that's ok and pays decent she can survive until she really decides what she wants. You are young you have time. Just take some time to establish a some kind of income to where you aren't a starving rapper or artist and end up looking up at 40 like wow what happened.

    Trial and error. You don't know what you want to do until you try things out. You'll find out what you like and don't like, and you might do things you don't want to do to get to the things you do.

    It's a good thing that you have an idea of what direction you want to go. I've gone from wanting to be a psychologist to psychiatrist to animator/writer (of animation movies) to veterinarian to writer to wanting to major in foreign languages/ still interesting in writing/ IDk what I want to do!!
