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.

I was the same way. My father insisted I go back to college. I went back but still had no clue.

You can make good money if you train to be a computer programmer, or an electrician, or a plumber. Most of those schools take less than 2 years.
