I guarantee half of them will decide that their "passion" wasn't for them afterall. In time, in time.

Its perfectly normal not to know what your passion is while you're in high school - or even college. Society puts this huge block on your shoulder to decide what you want to do with your life so early on. Keep your own pace, and don't let people pressure you into finding a passion when you're hardly even out of the gates yet.

Explore. Take diverse college courses. Use your resources to keep yourself involved in new topics and things that you haven't explored yet.

It's my belief that everyone has a calling in life. EVERYONE. We're hard-wired with talents and bonuses in some places. Most people find their talent eventually. There's no real rush.

Even I, at age 24, am not precisely sure what I want to do with myself. But I can tell you what I am in college for, I will probably do nothing with. I'll probably go back someday and get a degree in what I REALLY want. When I can afford it on my own.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
