I Am Lost In Life

My outlook on life changes every single day, and that might not seem like a big deal but it's borderline life crippling. I'm 30 years old with no college degree and make more money bartending in Vail Colorado working 30 hours a week than the majority of my college graduate friends in professional fields. But I am increasingly more and more unhappy with it. I have absolutely no pride in it or my life in general. Which is odd because I live comfortably in a place some people are only able to dream of going to. All my life i planned on going to college, I still do, I never expected to be so late with it but for the life of me I have no idea what to go for. One day I know exactly what I want to get into, I'll obsessively research the field and decide that that's what I'm going to do. But then I wake up the next day thinking it's all foolish and fall back into a state of contentment in the fact I have never really tried that hard in life. I can't find motivation, I can't commit, I can't decide on anything. I'm just stuck in life and have been for a very long time.

I agree with questionWeaver and will add that I was 29 when I entered a weekend college program for working adults and like you, I had no idea what to pursue ... I just knew I wanted an education and to be able to say I was a college grad. Today I am a PhD.

Many , many, many people don't know what they want to pursue when they first start out, yet study interests almost always lead to some kind of path -- that's half the fun of learning!

Take the leap of faith... sign up. Go to classes geared for adults. You're gonna love it.

And if for some reason you don't like college, there's absolutely nothing wrong with bartending.

Good luck!

Soft breezes to you.
Opportunity is often the impediment to success

... forget about "being something" ... just get a degree in "anything" ... that alone will improve your perspective.

... and you are not late

There's nothing wrong in just enjoying what you do.!
Is college really necessary ? You make it sound more like its somebody else's expectation rather than something you want !
With no idea of a field to study that's like trying to find a key in a sea of porridge !
