Through any one's life the question of what you want to be when you grow up seems to follow you around. It is always followed by, "You can do anything you want". But that is only true if you can hack the education process or win the lottery.
For instance, I would like to be a trillionare music sensation, spending my spare time writing short novels, and curing diseases. Likelihood of that happening, 0. Likelihood of anyone doing that just about the same, even if the Beibs turns out to be a genius. I am not just throwing a pity party for myself here; instead I want to make note of how important it really is to figuring out your life plan in its own time.
Lets be honest, very few people know at 6 what they are going to do at 40. Instead it takes years of taking classes, meeting people, trying jobs, and blind chance to find a life path. Every little interaction builds up to who you will turn out to be and how you will tackle a career. I am still trying to figure out what I want to do and it doesn't get easier if you love so many different things.
So just keep in mind that life will work itself out and if you cannot figure out what you want to do right away then relax because no one is sure what they are going to do with the rest of their lives.
