<human>: Hi Reddit. I am in my first year of University, and have been unemployed since mid-October.

*I'm not really sure what I'm doing.* I hope you can help.

Here's the condensed version:

**1:** I don't know what type of job I want, and thus I don't know what to major in.  

**2:** I feel capable and under-utilized, but I don't know where to properly learn the tools to be able to accomplish things. This means in everyday life and at school.

**3:** I don't finish things because I don't know how to start things. I am unmotivated and dissatisfied with school, and have begun doing poorly.

Since I was young, I did as I was told because it would give me what I want later in life.  I did homework, got my high school diploma, applied to University...
And for what? I'm really not sure.  I think what's wrong is that **I continue to follow the system, and I don't see results.** All that happens is the next step in the system. I am finally voting age, and almost drinking age, though I don't drink.  Many of my friends have moved to bigger cities and are living on their own.  I graduated grade 8, and moved onto high school. I graduated high school, and moved on to University. When I graduate University(if I do), what will happen?

I keep hearing of stories about Bachelor of Arts students like myself never end up with a job, because we were never taught how to do any specific job.  Is College always the best choice?

I've never been a Trades-y guy, but then again I have no idea, since I've never tried any.  

I think my problem is that I've seen through the shit, and lost all motivation.  Perhaps I never learned how to *do* things, and only did what was required of me.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: How do I get motivated? I don't feel as if I know how to do anything. Where can I learn?
