feel really lost in college rn.

i'm currently in my first year of college and i'm doing these subjects - graphic design, business and IT. however, i don't know what to then do after college ends. i also really regret doing IT as i find it really boring.

Do you see yourself going to university? What subject do you enjoy the most? What are your interests outside of college?

Good careers website with 100s of job / career profiles - Job profiles | Prospects.ac.uk
Apprenticeship search - Search apprenticeship – Find an apprenticeship – GOV.UK

Or, to give yourself some time to think, look at doing a 1-year Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at a local college or University - example Foundation Diploma in UAL Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at Oxford Brookes University

Or just get a job (any job), earn some cash and do some travel - this is never a waste of time - it could be just as a holiday or paid work overseas - Gap Year & Adventure Travel Experts for 18-30's | Gap 360 or Camp America® USA Summer Jobs in America Since 1969 | Camp America

Use IT for the business cases, that's where it's important, translating technical language into business needs.
Your three subjects go very well together.

For example, marketing and web design.

If you work out what you are generally interested in, you can make experience for yourself.

Also, what is it you find really boring about IT? The particular topics? The teaching? The lack of application to real-life cases?

If you like we can have a conversation to work out a plan and strategy going forward.
