Ryan- What to do in life?

It's funny that we are blogging about this, this week... because I have run into a brick wall when it comes to a career right now.

Growing up, I wanted to be in the military. I was DEAD SET on being in the Navy. I went to Cadets my whole life..achieved a hell of a lot through that. At 16, i signed up for the navy, went through all my testing for it and decided it just wasn't for me. Still to this day, I wish I could have made it "work for me".. but I didn't. It will always be something though that was a very important time in my life.
As for a career though, i started looking into Law. I wanted to become a lawyer, but a MILITARY Lawyer-AKA- JAG. Not sure if anyone has seen the TV show, but its basically the same thing. I was stuck on it- join the military at 16, get an education from them (which i quickly learned wasn't all that it was hyped up to be) get into law school and become a JAG officer.
Well, I graduated highschool...stopped the military thing, and got accepted into university for Political Science. I thought Poli Sci was going to be great to get me into law school- boy was I wrong.
Poli Sci was all about...well, politics! I like politics- i love watching the news all that stuff.. im a history buff and a huge geek :) But, to BE a politician... NO WAY!!! Poli Sci was all about that stuff.. nothing I was interested in. I ended up failing classes in my first year because I had absolutely NO interest in what I was doing. So, this year, half way into the 1st semester... I dropped out. It kills me to say it, but I just couldn't stand being there doing something I hated!
I've now changed my mind about being a lawyer also- I don't want to devote my life to work. I'm a family man.
So, currently, I have changed my mind about all my plans... and here I stand, completely confused with no idea on my career. I know I wanna go back to school, but what for? I'm not sure yet. So, im taking some time...going to make some money, and figure out what I want to do. What I DO KNOW is that I want to help people. i've been looking into Criminal Psychology and Behaviour..and a few other things.I want to make their lives better :) So...from there I go.
