I'm not a very academic human, at all, so i legitimately don't have anything to hold onto while looking for a job, or searching for my career path, and that limits my university possibilities by a lot...
My teachers at school always say "Rukua, you have so much ambition, but no motivation" and it's true..
I want to do all these things like photography, or screen acting, but then I love my sports like soccer, and tennis.. and thinking about all of the things I want to do when I leave school this year, it just makes me sick, 'cause I can't choose.
So I think I need help from people that have gone or are going through this same thing, I'm not sure where I want to go or where I want to go, and It's so frustrating.
I have 14 weeks left of school, ever, and I've never been this nervous. Any advice will be noted, every input means a lot.

Look, I've been through what you're going through and had a lack of motivation. What I did was get a small time job in the career path I wanted to be in, I ended up loving it so I stuck with it, all of those things you said you love don't require a job, you can do photography by yourself and go to lessons for the rest. Try them all out and find out what you like best, and one you can see yourself doing for 40+ years. Also look at the career path for each one, and where you can end up. Many of the career paths are not black and white and each have plenty of specialisations, make note of these.

The worst stress I ever had. Seems like I can't do nothing but to face career stress and slowly, I have to work my way out.

Be a teacher, they seem to have easy jobs, and clearly you don't have to be that smart to be one
