I still don't know what I want to do with my life?

Category: Other

MashaMasha


I'm a Junior in High school and I really want to get started with trying to build my career early. However, I want to be so many different things and I just don't know what I want to do when I grow up. At first I really wanted to be a surgeon/doctor, then a lawyer, and then a translator/interpreter. It just keeps changing because I want to do something I know I'll love and will give me a stable life. I think my real passion would be travelling and learning foreign languages and learning about different cultures. However, I don't know any good jobs that have to do with that? I want to make a lot of money while loving the job I do. It's not that I'm like, greedy or anything but I just want to make sure when I grow up I'll have a stable family. So I want to have a good job that makes a lot of money but one that sort of has to do with travelling, learning different languages and cultures, etc. D: I also want to study abroad. So does anyone know any jobs that have to do with travelling, learning foreign languages but still make decent income?

You're young. I felt this way too when I was young and unfortunately none of my dreams/hopes/wishes even came close to what my reality is so I really hope yours works out for you.

As for jobs, think anthropology or archeology. You can be a curator to a museum. You can be a translator for the UN. You can be an English as a second language teacher in other countries. You can be a doctor and join "doctors without borders" or work for WHO. Also learn "different" languages. Go with Chinese and combine it with an MBA and you're set. There are a ton of options. Don't let people tell you you're too young to be thinking about it or discourage you from following your dreams. Good luck to you.
