Hey man, I think the fellas here gave some really good advice and ultimately its gonna come down to who you are as an individual. What drives you, your current life needs and situation, what you're passionate about and what your life expectations are at the moment (because those change)
Sometimes its very difficult to know yourself that well, specially at 18. So if you are uncertain and are very conflicted just remember to always be working towards something while you're figuring it out. Don't sit still waiting for things to click. Do anything, but do something.
Also, whatever profession you're interested in, seek out a professional currently working in that field around your area and ask if you can meet with him, ask him some question about the work he does, his pay, his struggles with the profession, his achievements in the profession and maybe shadow him at work for a day or two. Maybe one of the guys here can help with that.
Reality is often different from our expectations, get out there and get a feel for it before you make a decision.
Best of luck to you.
