Struggling to find my path in life at 17, about to move to Germany. Feeling lost and limited in my options.

I’m 17 years old, and I’m about to move to Germany. The thing is, I’m feeling really stuck right now because I need to pick a path for my future soon. And the decision I make now is going to be the one I stick with. For those that aren't familiar with the German school system, you can't get into "Gymnasium" and take the Abitur exam that allows you to go to University. So thats unfortunately not an option for me anymore. I have to do vocational training and practice a trade. I don't want to just hate my job and by extension life forever.

Here’s the thing I honestly don’t feel good at anything. I’ve tried a ton of different things over the years (with the opportunities I had), but nothing ever really catches on. I’ve taken all the advice I could get, watched countless videos, and listened to every adult person who’s tried to guide me. But no matter what I do, I just can’t seem to figure out what I actually want to do. It feels like I’m stuck and out of options.

I dont even know what to ask for anymore though. I know what everyone's going to say. Still Im willing to listen because, what else can I do. I tried to listen and take in all the intel and do my best and try to study harder and get into something for once. I tried everything I had the chance to try. Thanks for reading.
