What do you think I should do? (Career wize)
I'm the kind of person who doesn't think about the future much and doesn't like to fit into schedules all the time. I usualy have low motivation aswell, which everyone needs.
I quit my college course after about a month. I had some problems of my own and just basically couldn't be bothered to take the 2 buses to and from College 4 days a week for about 9 hours, I was lacking in any motivation at all. I enrolled for an art course, which I thought would be best suited to my abilities. It was great n' all but most of it was Photography and not exactly what I expected. The work overload was emense. I found myself trying to catch up to everyone (I started the course late) all the time. I got work to do on half term breaks aswell, asking me to refer to project plans, which I never recieved. It got to the point where I just left everything. It all got a bit messy basically so now I'm gonna have to seriously think about what I want to do with my life. But I just don't have any sort of idea of what job I want! And even if I did theres no way I could achieve it with my attitude, lol.
All that work for nothing, eh? 
It's also made me unable to get a job, the lack of motivation pops in again. I may be lazy aswell but if I really want something I'm the opposite of lazy. I can really work hard if I wanted to. Take a look at these forums for example. 
What I wanted to do was Digital Art of some sort. But theres never anything of that sort around here without having qualifications first hand. So no doubt I'm going to get stuck with computers all day. :hissyfit:
If I don't get into a course soon I'll get a job. (Afterall I'm gonna be 19 soon, gotta do something! And the extra money will come in handy, lol.) What gives you guys motivation if your job is so sucky? Because I don't know how I'd stand it in a boring old office doing the same thing over and over again. And especially with supermarket jobs.. Those would get you very tired. I know from experience!
Hmm, not sure why I'm even posting this here.  I guess I just want to talk to you lot about this stuff? It is pretty important afterall.. And no I don't want to have a professional career in striping for those thinking that. 
Is everyone else satisified with the way their life is going career wize?
Yeah sorry this is so long. :type:

…
I've recently quit my College course (today actually), its a BTEC National Diploma in IT (worth 3 A- Levels). The work is pretty easy and I need something I can really sink my teeth into. Its a great course, but I feel I need to take some time off to pursue my own goals. I want to be a web designer- I am and I do this on a commercial level- but Computers are always evolving which makes it an extremely hard and somewhat risky job. For now, I already have knowledge in HTML, XHTML, CSS, eCommerce but would like to go further into PHP, ASP.Net and perhaps some SQL.
