Don't worry bout it bud. Some ppl know what they wanna do and some ppl gotta find it. You'll find it eventually.

I am in my 40s and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

For real though, I had a variety of jobs when I got out of school. I went into the military, went to college for something that I didn't want to do, worked in several fields, fell into a job in technology, went back to school, and I'll retire doing this unless something drastically changes.

And many people think they know what they wanna do and then realize it isn't for them when they actually do it
