I am so lost, how will I find my career in life?

This has been my heavy burden for a long time.



I am now 20. Since I was very little I could never imagine myself having a profession, a field, or even a dream to aspire to as others did. I felt incapable of succeeding in anything, and marveled at wealthy and successful people's triumphs. "How on earth did they get so good?' I thought, "I don't have a clue how to do that." I knew from that early age that when the time came to be an adult, I would hit a road block. I just put it out of mind, because growing up and being my own provider seemed near impossible, miles away from my sheltered reality.



And now that time has come, and I have no direction. It frightens me. I have always loved to create things. That is my one and only clue. I like the idea of creating a product and selling it, having it be popular and enjoyable, but what product? A book, a song, I don't know. Am I talented? Not likely. I'm not sure if I have a mind for the unreliable, subjective world of creativity. I don't know how getting a career started even works. I haven't even had a part time job working at somewhere like McDonalds. What a joke I am.



My second desire is to make money. (how about now, now are you laughing?) Me, desire money, when I can't do anything! But money to me is a measure of success, bankable, investable, spendable, savable, so useful. To earn money instead of spending it would be heaven for me. It would finally show I am an adult.



Me, with no career path鈥?but I have secretly been dying to have that goal. Something I can make my life's focus. I have been so thirsty for that, that my life has been empty without it.



Presently, I have to make a decision about what course to choose for an undergraduate uni course but I do not know my TALENTS. I hope to chose something that would prove of some use to save me from this hollow uselessness. What can I do to determine what career I would be best suited to and what my talents are? Is there any way to give me some direction? (apart from online tests, they just seem to want my email and home address. I need some solid, real world solutions.)



Alright, I admit that was long, but I need help. I am terrified. Please help me.I am so lost, how will I find my career in life?
