If you have no idea what to do in life, I would look into IT. The IT job market is constantly growing, and IT people get paid so much! The key is simply to be certified in all of these IT languages and operating systems. There are hundreds of schools that will prepare you to take the certification tests, and the certifications only take about three months to complete. Each time you complete a certification you also take a pay raise too. I had an IT professor is college who would lay out a plan to reach a minimum of $100k a year for any student willing to work hard. He worked with a few friends of mine, and they each are doing very well, even in these tough economic times.
