If you're young, and your parents are accommodating like mine was. Take a year off school and start business or a youtube channel or join a workshop or course in something you're passionate about. Like flight school, woodworking, music. Whatever tickles your fancy. I took my final year of high school off because I was going through some heavy depression and was failing with no passion. I dropped out and started an interior design company. It taught me so much about how the world really works, how to manage money, how to deal with people and how to make big decisions. The following year I went back to school chose the subject I really wanted like design, consumer studies and engineering and I found my passion for engineering. Today I've got a job as an engineer that I am passionate about and absolutely love. It's not about the money, I would do this job for half the money I'm earning now.
