I don’t know what to do with my life.

I came from a tumultuous upbringing. Child abuse, sexual abuse, moving around, etc. I got my GED at 21. I was a smart student. I had a 29 act at freshman year. I had close to a 4.0 GPA. I'm smart. I'm good at studying. I'm a hard worker. I met my husband at 17 when he was 19. I worked to help him through college. He helped me with housing. The agreement was I would go to school after he finished school and he would work to help me through school. I always figured I would know what to do with my life after he was done with school. But I don't. I always figured I would figure out my passion at some point in life and I would go to school for that passion. But I really don't have any. I care about the world. I want the…


I came from a tumultuous upbringing. Child abuse, sexual abuse, moving around, etc. I got my GED at 21. I was a smart student. I had a 29 act at freshman year. I had close to a 4.0 GPA. I'm smart. I'm good at studying. I'm a hard worker.

I met my husband at 17 when he was 19. I worked to help him through college. He helped me with housing. The agreement was I would go to school after he finished school and he would work to help me through school. I always figured I would know what to do with my life after he was done with school. But I don't. I always figured I would figure out my passion at some point in life and I would go to school for that passion. But I really don't have any.

I care about the world. I want the world to be a better place. But I've never figured out anything concrete to go to school for that would help the world be a better place. So, my husband got a job a year ago. His great job puts me in a place of great privilege where I can learn anything, do anything, be anything I want. And I still don't know my passion. I've been learning sign language and coding but neither have sparked a great passion. Now I'm ready to move on and I have the means to.

I just want to know what can I do, what can I go to school for, that will make the greatest impact on the world. Can anyone help me make that decision? I'm decent at writing, I'm very good at math, not that great at science but I'm very willing to put the work in, I just don't know what to do. I'm a hard worker, and I'm young. I want to help the world but don't know how. Can anyone guide me on my next steps? I don't mind too much if I'm not passionate about the subject as long as I know that I'm helping the world become a better place.

I am a leftist by the way that helps you guide my decision. Thank you for taking your time out to help me. I recognize my privilege in this situation, and all I want to do is use it to help the underprivileged.
