Graduating high school soon and I realized that I don't want to work

I graduate in less than a month, and it just dawned on me that I have no idea what I want to do with my life. If I go to college, I'll get a degree and find a job to do until retirement comes. If I don't go to college, I still have to get a job to make a living. I wish I could be a kid forever and not have to worry about this. Some of my peers have clear career plans in mind -- teaching, medicine, politics. And here I am with absolutely no goal.

See what really interests you, and focus on your education first. Hopefully when your interests in some thing, you probably will want to pursue that in your life. Don't worry, many people changed their areas of work at later stages.

Anyways education will help to understand how things work. In the process you may also learn few things about life. In the job you just gets an opportunity to understand better those things.
