Eco Living

I'm 20, and I feel stuck: I know what I want in life, but my goals and ethics regularly conflict?

I have a very good idea what I want in life. The problem is, a lot of the stuff I WANT to do goes completely against my ethics and beliefs, or sometimes things just completely contradict each other.

For example, part of me would really love to live 'off the power grid' on a self-sustaining eco-farm. Another part of me wants to jump headfirst into a lifelong obsession with consumerism and modern technology.

I don't know if I want to attend college. I don't know if I want to trade my free bicycle for an expensive car. Or if I want a credit card, or a big fancy house…or ANYTHING.

I know I'm supposed to be fairly conflicted at this point in my life, but let me reiterate that I know more or less what I WANT…it's just that, no matter what I choose to pursue, I feel like I'm leaving behind something else that's equally important to me.

So I'm stuck….any advice?

I'm especially looking for advice from people who have already dealt with college, careers, family, etc. Essentially, for lack of a more politically correct term, I'd like to hear from 'older' adults…those of you with more wisdom and experience.

Thanks!
