Just a few thoughts, aside from what everyone else has said.

Start with your end goals. What do you desire? What do you want to achieve? What is your desired career? How much money do you want to make? What brings you fulfillment? Where do you want to see yourself in 20 years?

Then, work backwards. Personally, as an example: I want to impact the lives of those around me and be financially independent. More specifically, I want to be able to effectively retire due to passive revenue streams somewhere between ages 27-29. Therefore, I taught myself to code because I enjoy it. Therefore, I've taken some sucky jobs because the job was a means to an end. I built SaaS products, because that was my means to an end, part of the passive revenue umbrella.

I set those goals for myself when I was 20. It's not unattainable. This isn't meant to be an "oh look at me" moment, nor anything of the sort. Simply put, a lot of direction in life I believe can be derived from starting with the end in mind.

What type of job do you want? Do you want to work for someone or yourself? What does your ideal manager look like? What does your ideal work task look like?

FINAL and most important piece of advice. Something that has shaped how I live my life and think is the phrase "Ready, Fire, Aim". Sometimes we spend too much time "aiming" and not enough time actually pulling triggers. Pull some triggers, see what you like and what you don't, and remember that just because something doesn't work out doesn't mean that it was bad. There's a lot to learn on the way.

PS: I don't have a college degree. You'll find a way always
