I am a junior in high school and I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Any advice?

I know that I would be a great person to be a ';secretary';, but that's not really what I want to be. I know I might not be making 6-figures, but I would like at least between $55,000-$60,0000 salary. Something that involves the skills of a secretary, yet it can still be fun and creative. I have alot of creativity when it comes to making things up. I'd also like to work in a professional environment. Like wearing a business suit everyday and just being professional in general. Any advice on what my future career should be? I am really lost and distraught about this. I am truly stressed out!I am a junior in high school and I don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

Try all kinds of things and keep yourself busy, when you find something you love you'll know.I am a junior in high school and I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Any advice?
Instead of thinking in terms of careers, I'd delve into the world around you. Study at a university and expand your horizons. There are many, many areas of interest in the world of which you are probably not even aware. Get a solid, basic education, and somewhere between studying and learning more about various interests, you'll find a field that intrigues you, and then you can check it out. I don't know why we expect high school pupils to determine what they want to do in life. You can't really know what you want to do without knowing what there really is to do! (beyond the obvious..)
First of all my Jr. High friend, you need to understand something. Now, I know that this may come as a shock to you, but here it goes....YOU ARE IN JR. HIGH.





Really friend, you do not need this type of stress in your life right now. There are many other things that you should be worrying about at this time in your life. I can assure you that it may take a while for you to figure out what you want to be when you grow up. You still have high school to get through. Then there is college, where alot of people still have no clue as to what they want to do with their lives. Many people go out and get a degree in something and don't even end up in that line of work.





Take your life one step at a time. Right now you should be worrying about what girl likes you and whether or not you should go to the homecoming dance or not.





One thing that will really shape your life, however, are the friends that you choose now. The people that you choose to hang around in your life now, will truly help shape you into the person that you will become later on in life. Choose your friends wisely and make sure that they are truthful with you at all times. Sometimes the nerds are the people to hang out with, no matter what all the so called ';popular'; people say.





It will also greatly help by including Christ in your life. This may sound stupid, but including Him in your everyday life and also praying to him for wisdom will also help shape you into the person that you will become.





Hear me out on this one friend. I may have some experience in the subject....
Do think about what you want to BE when you grow up...more about what types of things you like to DO. Do you like to draw? Do you like to write? Do you like to help people with their problems? Do you like science?





Then check with advisors, library, web about the types of jobs involve the things you like to do.





If you like to write: copywriter, reporter, author, etc.
Be an elementary school teacher, you can have lots of fun, with the kids. Also being a auto master mechanic could place you in the high 80,000 or more per year. There is and always will be a need for auto mechanics, if you don't mind getting greasy .
im 24 and i still dont know...and i am a secretary. its okay...bad pay though. Just find something that interests you. you dont have to figure it our today so jsut relax it will come to you :)

I like your attitude, very positive, proactive. Most young people don't know the answer to this question until they are halfway through college. Be patient, but continue learning more about possible professions.





1. Spend more time talking with adults about their work. Learn about as many different professions as you can. If any of what you learn gets you excited, that would be a good thing.





2. Continue your education. Study and make good grades. This will get you into a better college, and help with scholarships. It's very, very hard to make good money without a college degree, unless you have great sports or entertainment talent.





3. Seek employment now. It will help you learn about work, and you'll learn good work habits, which will help you get promoted later in your career. And you can use the money to attend college.





I think you can see that a bright future for you is definitely possible, but you'll have to work hard for it. Everybody does.
If you are creative and you have good people skills I would suggest that you look in to a career in advertising.
You don't have to know exactly what you want to do with your life when you're still in high school. I recommend, once you head to college (if you plan on going, that is), to check out a few things and see what you think. You might find something you're interested in.
You are way to young to be worried about this. Just have fun and study hard in school. Find an area you are good at and put all your energy into be the best you can in that area. You should be so buzy with school, sports, music study, ect that you have no time to be worried about such silly things.
