Is it normal that I'm 16 years old and I have no idea what type of career that I want to get into?

Thanks Laura. MY mom was a stay at home wife, but my dad makes bucu bucks lol :)

Definately normal….make a list of the things you might be interested in, then seek out someone in that field for the pluses and minuses….and you might look at an internship or take a tour of different workplaces…Good Luck !!

Don’t sweat it so much, you’ll have a chance to explore what it is you like in college but right now, in high school, try to pinpoint what you find to be enjoyable. I really like giving people advice and helping others find answers to their problems so I’d look into a psyche course, I also really like political theory and government so Political science is nice. Just look at what you like for now, k? :)

Thanks everyone :)

totally normal

No problem! My mom is a cook, and my dad farms, all i know is i want to have a career with animals, but i just cant decide!

I’m a sophomore in college and I still don’t know what I want to do, hahaha. It’s very normal, when you’re a teenager it’s very rare to know exactly what you want.

I have my mindset on being a pilot, but what am I going to do in college? I might be a male nurse (murse) lol. Still, I love flying and helping people out. I want to do a minor in philosophy or even environmental science. I have many things I want to do. But see, to be a pilot you can have a 4 year degree in anything, so medicine will be beneficial for the rest of my life. I am going to the Air Force after college. So there are many options. The most important thing is to pick something you know you want to do and maybe do everyday for the rest of your life.

Pretty normal. Many kids who think they know what they want to do with their life as teens later change their mind several times. Just try to keep as many options open as possible.

Yes it’s normal.

oh yeah totally normal

I’m going to my third year in university in canada and I’m still lost. It’s normal.

Yes im almost 17 and i still dont know what want to do xD

Thanks for all of the replies everyone :)
