I'm 34 and I still no idea what I want to do in my life
I've always liked the idea of being someone , like doing a job I love to do or at least like it .
I still cant work it out !
I have this thing in my head that I must have a reason a purpose on this earth like I cant just be a woolworth's checkout chick , I have to have a reason to live.
Why is this ?
Anything that I want to do is hard to get into or doesnt offer a decent income.
So basically I'm 34 and have no idea what I'm doing it's like I'm waiting to die how sad .
It doesn't help being so depersonalizated I guess..
Does anyone else feel like this ?

If you wait to find your purpose you will always be waiting.Instead do something and go on from there.Some people find purpose early but as they grow they realize their purpose is changed or their interest have changed.And people do change from time to time themselves .so move on and do something and take your life from there rather than just thinking and finding your purpose.Do something even if its not that high paying do it and then change from there but do something.

A good question indeed!

Quick questoin, what are you doing right now?

Yep! Always knew what I wanted to do, in some form or another. Only difficulty was whether I was good enough for it, or how to go about getting into it. I did those things, and had a great opportunity, but my declining cognitive funtioning meant I had to give it up. These days I would be happy if I could just work as a cashier at a convenience store or something, but I can't even do that in my state.
