Anyone got any ideas for a career?

I only have two more years of high school left and I have know clue what I want to be. My teachers keep making it sound like we have no more time left =/ I used to want to be a kid psychiatrist since my friends always came to me for advice and I found it fun to help them. I’m not good in science nor math so I cant be a kids psychiatrist. I dont want anything in the medical field any more. My parents keep thinking I should go in the medical field though and wont leave me alone about it. I always wanted to be a writer and know I cant live off that so decided to do that on the side. I like photography but I dont think ill be able to survive off that too. I was thinking something in the entertainment business just not acting…I like it but not the best at it. HELP please =[

Answer #1

An idea is to go through the phone book yellow pages and jot down occupations that might interest you - also, ask adults you respect to tell you why they enjoy the job they do and the requirements - one excellent job often overlooked is ‘air traffic controller’ - average pay is now $128k, not bad - I wish you every success in whatever you choose…and don’t let anyone tell you, you can’t do it !!

Answer #2

go on a job wesite and see all the option than simply just tick the ones you think they are suitable for you and keep doing these until you get to the last one ///\\

Answer #4

Don’t stress out about choosing a career yet. Just take a few courses that you are interested in and things will work out…

Answer #5

Get good grades and go to a good college. Hopefully you will have some sort of clue in 4 years from now when youll actually need to pick a major.
