its like im 15, how the hell do I no what I wana do in the next 10 years time?!
Lol.
At 16 you need to do your GCSE's which determine which A levels you can take in college...(you need a decent grade at GCSE to pursue it at A level) your A levels must be linked to the degree that you wish to pursue in Uni (and you need certain A level ucas points to get into Uni).....and the degree that you take in Uni, must be linked to the profession you wish to get involved in the future.
So it makes sense to have a rough idea at 15.
And many professions (not all) dictate what GCSE's, A levels and degree you should have.

making a decision too early can sometimes be a mistake.
and it is NOT the end-of-the world if you don't plan ahead/change your mind.
my sister's story highlights this perfectly:
She wanted to study history/polotics at durham, and so studied English, History and Art A-level. She also did Chemistry on the side for her own interest (this was before the days of AS/A2).
She messed up her English and so couldn't get in to Durham, and although she got into her insurance uni, she declined and decided to take a year out.
over the year she COMPLETELY changed her plans and went of History/Politics.
She got into a 'public understanding of science' course in UCL - even though her mark in Chemistry A-Level was an E!
Now she has completed her Masters' and is in the final year of her PHD - also in Science.
If she had NOT messed up her english a-level she would have been stuck in a course she didn't like - and is unlikely to have been nearly as successful as she is now.
The is NOTHING wrong with delaying entering uni until you know what you wanna do- that way you can gain experience easily and save money (plus mature students tend to be a LOT hardworking than undergraduates.)

True.
However, it isnt wise to delay higher education, esp after marriage and kids come along...just ask the mothers how tough they found uni education and whilst trying to deal with childcare at the same time....couple of mums on my undergrad/postgrad found that they were either neglecting their studies or neglecting their families - either way they felt burnt out.
My dads doing a postgraduate course at the moment to further his career...I hardly see him any more.

Average I think is between 5'10" and 6'. Closer to the former than the latter.
This will obviously vary between communities, ages, places etc...

I think Muslims not being so ambitious or not achieving much has got more to do with the people around that person rather than the personal ambitions of that individual. We all need support to be successful and unfortunately a lot of Muslims don't get that from their families who instead have other ideas. I think it is crucial to have ambitions as a child and also crucial that parents encourage their children in whatever way to dream and achieve big.
A lot of Muslims girls especially, are brought up to not have any ambitions at all and a lot of these girls grow up having kind of accepted this. Muslims who think like this really get on my nerves.
Growing up I had loads of ambitions, and I think that's really important coz it gives you something to strive for. I still have what to me are big ambitions, but as mentioned by others we all define success differently - my personal dreams are probably no big thing at all to somebody else, but they mean a lot to me. My priorities have somewhat changed since I started practicing and thus so have my ambitions, if anything I am probably more ambitious but in a different way.

since u stil get th reward of intending 2 do a good deed, even if u don't carry it out...congratulations! may Allah multiply that reward by 10 (i.e. by letting u succeed). ameen!
IF i ever make it as a rich lawyer im gonna build the first mosque in the UK which is run by women for the women. I aint gonna be as bad as those men out there that exclude women. Men can come an pray if they want (but i doubt they will coz they might feel a bit intimated by all the women). I think they have one in Amsterdam.
