Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Lost college dropout

I'm 21, I've dropped out of a business degree hated it.. would not go back, it's just maths, stats, accounting and economics.. it's not for me.

I don't know what I'm going to do.. I don't fancy starting over in college at 22 surrounded by 18 year olds, not to mention what would I study? Arts (liberal) isn't worth the paper it's written on.. I don't want to go in STEM, Business..

I've high intentions.. I want to do so much more than I am. I've a job (factory) lined up for the mean time but I've no intention of staying in it indefinitely..

I want to eventually own my own business(s)..
Whatever I go into..

My best subjects were English, Biology and Geography.

I don't know what that leaves me with. I'm good at writing debates, speeches and what not.
I was thinking of marketing but I just find it so shady selling an addiction, here start gambling.. 'wrinkles?' you need this!.. it's just creating a need and selling a product to fill it, by whatever means necessary.

So where does that leave me? No degree, no direction..

You could start your own business.

If your inclined to go back to uni you could study a degree online with the open university.

There's also IT development related work where you just need your own portfolio of projects.
