i have no clear aspirations in life, what should i do?

And even for people who do have a clear idea of what they want to do (I.e dream job) success isn’t linear! My father for example did his B.A. in English literature and creative writing with intentions of becoming an author and starting a publishing company, but ended up having to work in finance for a little while to pay off his student dept, support our family, and pay my grandmother’s medical bills. Eventually he started a successful publishing company and became a published author. Things take time! Also, in relation to what Just-a-prof said, what I know it seems scary, but I know a lot of people who didn’t find a passion until their later years of university and are doing very well for themselves. I know it doesn’t seem like it, but being in your third year of university you’re still so so young and have so much time to discover your passion.

EDIT: I apologize for the word vomit and I’m not sure if this made any sense but I hope you get where I’m coming from. OP, I wish you the best of luck!
