Life After School

Up to this point I am still unsure on my future as a student, I have no clue on what to study. The main problem is that I want to be so sure on what I want to study that I have no regrets afterwards and I don't have to change my major after I have studied for say 2 years. That would be a waste of time.

I have been researching on different careers but none seem the right one for me. When I visualize myself studying or working in any specific career, I feel awkward and it feels just not right. This issue of not having a plan and not knowing what to study doesn't let me think much farther than university and college. At the beginning of this year, my senior year, I was relaxed about all of this but now that time is running short I am really worried.

After deciding what to study and focusing on a career I plan to apply to a university in the USA most likely. I would do my major over there and afterwards I am probably going to Germany to do a Master's degree and then open up my chances to study further or get a job that I find adequate.

After working for some years I would like to open up my own business and apply my acquired knowledge during my studying period to manage it and gradually if possible expand it and grow, all of this of course has to be if the circumstances are right and if it is possible. It is really hard to plan ahead so long from now, you never know what chances an doors will open for you and which ones will be slammed in your face.

Hopefully everything goes right, that is what scares me the most the fact that I don't know what is going to happen in the future and the fact that I don't know if I 'm going to be successful.
