I think if you are struggling deciding what you want to do, you need to pull the trigger and make a bloody decision.
So many people now just sit around waffling and "not knowing". Shut up, go do something. Give it your all, stop introspecting so much because it is preventing you from doing something and finding that purpose you long for.
And work hard.

Absolutely. I discovered some of the things I'm most interested in today through electives in university. But it's an expensive and time-consuming way to figure yourself out.
"Not knowing" can't always be helped, but sitting around waffling can. I've never advocated waiting around for a purpose to land in your lap. If you find it while in university, great (though I didn't, and don't know many who have, at least on their first go-around). I'm arguing against the value of an arbitrary degree, not the university experience itself.
