I'm fifteen years old, but i have a huge dream. Sadly, i don't think there's a job out there like this for me?
Okay..
So I have always had a desire to work with children cancer patients. they are so inspiring.
I want to work onsite in a children's hospital. I have thought numerous times about being a doctor or nurse in that field, but I believe my major calling is in the ministry area. I do still want to work with them. I don't, however, wish to be a chaplain. I want freedom to be like a friend to the kids, I want to be able to share freely, and just.. i don't know how to really explain it. It's a huge dream of mine, to work or lead ministry for kids like that. But is there a job out there even like that? I would do anything to work towards that, but so far, i have not found anything that does that. Please Help?

There is a job in "play therapy". It is a certificate program for licensed counselors. You can google to find out which schools offer the certificate, but you would have to have at least a bachelor's degree in counseling (psychology) to start. |

I think you should speak with the pastor or some members of your church (or a local church near you) and ask them for advice. They may be able to lead you toward some special youth services that they provide. |

There are pastors in the hospital. Definitely you can try to be in ministry (if that is what you have decided), and then head on to children's cancer institute. But since you are young and many youngsters keep changing or unsure, atleast try out different things, till you finish high school, so you can confirm then what you want to do. |

Is there a children's hospital near you? you could volunteer to help. You could read to children, play board games, sit with a child while the parents go eat or take time for a shower. Volunteering will let you see if this is a job you'd really like plus give you great experience that could lead to a paid position in the future. |
