How are we supposed to know what to do with ourselves?

there are lots of career quizzes online to see what you would be best suited to. the one we used at school was at www.groper.com.au (no its not a rude website).

if you want a simple, easy and quick quiz with a general answer, this is the place to go: www.blogthings.com/idealcareerquiz/

How you are supposed to know - what I did was quite literally go sit on a mountain alone and stare at the view until the peace and quiet got through to me. All the noise and chatter and pressure from family and friends dropped away so I could just ignore it and listen to my own thinking. I could quietly work through all the things that had happened, and what I had learnt from them about the world and about myself. After a while I knew there was a bullet I had to bite, a situation I had to deal with even if it was going to be painful, and I walked back down and did it. And it wasn't nearly as bad as I feared.

Things have gone well ever since.

Pick a place and a time where not many people go - you need to do this completely alone. It took me several hours of sitting and thinking through. The view helps a lot.
