How the heck are we supposed to make big decisions?
It seems that my current method is lacking... when an opportunity presents itself, I usually pray about it, and then act (usually by submitting an application, or interviewing for something) and then if I get accepted or approved, I take that as the answer from God. Like, that's Him opening a door. But just becuase I can do something doesn't mean that that is what He wants me to do. So how are we supposed to make decisions? How do we know what God wants us to do?

That's more or less what I would have said.

Yeah it helps. I will be praying a lot, I think. It's just that at the time I posted this, I had very little time to even think about this decision, let alone to pray about it. But I decided to ask for more time to pray about it. So that's good.
Thanks for the advice.

If you happen to have good parents, use them to your advantage. Too often we forget how wise they are.

I think Proverbs says, get all the advice you can.

I pray, look around for answers--from spiritual people, or the best source for good advice, waid for God to speak to my heart and then also ask God to bless or block when I think I've gotten the answer.

That should also work with bad parents. Ask them what to do and do the opposite.

Or you could try borrowing someone elses' parents who seem to be pretty good.
