I feel you.
I'm (going to when they fucking reply to my fricking damn fricking emails and enrol me) studying community services, and know that I want to do something vaguely in community services, but I don't know what exactly appeals. I'm sort of hoping that after I complete the cert III and decide on a cert IV, I'll be placed somewhere and discover my passion.
For me though, I do have ideas of where I want to be in the future, which will probably act as a guiding light. I'm certain I'd like to emigrate to somewhere in the EU, and I'm currently thinking Sweden. The easiest way to do that is most likely to go down the work visa route. Sweden doesn't seem to split their workers into skilled and unskilled, but there is a requirement that you can only apply if the role has been advertised within Sweden, Switzerland, and the rest of the EEA/EU first. Meaning I'd probably only find a job with an employer willing to sponsor a work visa if I am uniquely skilled. That only really leaves me with a few options, so that's what the goal is. I'd rather suck it up and work in a job I don't like to move to the EU than for money anyways
