So i just want to start of by telling you a bit about me, yes i know very boring. But it will probaly help you give me some advice so i'll do it.

I'm 19 years old and i've been studying for a long time now, this june i'll be finished and what then....

I can just get a job doing what i've been training to be?

But there's so many other things i want to do?

Like travelling and volunteering abroad somewhere?

So can anyone give me some advice on what i should do? Because i really dont know.

Thanks already.

your young, you need to do what you want to do before you settle down and you can't do it then.

Well, if you have some ideas of what you want to be "when you grow up";) why not volunteer in an area that would give you some good background in that area? You will be doing a service, plus learning. Remember..any volunteer work looks good on a resume.

Keep one thing tucked under your belt.

No regrets.

Take some risks now, it wont be easy later on.

Make a priority list and do at least one of them now.

Anything is do-able. If you've always wanted to see China...go. It can be done.

If you've always wanted to climb a mountain...do it. It can be done.

Keep the list.

Best advice I've seen, you don't know what is round the corner in a few years you may not be able to travel etc - do it while your young. Besides, sleeping on a train station floor is ok when you're young but no fun when you hit 40!

I think the songwriter Edwin McCain says it best

in his tune

'Go Be Young'

This is the chorus...

Go Be Young

Go Be Free

Follow your heart where it leads you

Dont be old like me

Dont end up like me

You can be anything you want to be. Whatever you do though

ALWAYS do your best, Always do MORE than you get paid for, Always live today as your last, Tomorrow is not garraunteed.
