How Do You Pick Something to Study?

One way you could begin narrowing down the choices would be by identifying the things you enjoy doing, that make you happy, and investigate the possibility of doing them for a living. If that is not really an option, most local community colleges offer a career assessment survey, or something similar, to help you decide what you might be best at. You could also begin by looking into what standard math, English, science, and humanities courses all students must take and sign up for a few of those. While you are working through those, you can talk to other students, professors, instructors, and your faculty advisor about what opportunities there are and what they might recommend you try. Are there schools nearby you could attend? Do you plan to earn your degree on line? And don't worry about picking your lifelong career at such a young age. I changed careers in my early 40s and it worked out great. Now in my mid-fifties I'm thinking about changing again. The important thing is, pick a school, check out their website and course offerings, get on their e-mail list, and if it is close enough, find out when their next open house is and take a tour. Once you get the ball rolling, the motivation will build.

My suggestion is to follow the curriculum and have some best methods to deliver it.
