Career question.....any suggestions?

Question

I was wondering if you could help me. I have no idea what career I want to go into. You would think that since I started thinking before freshmen year by now i would have made up my mind but I think I'm even more confused lol. If you can't help I completely understand. I know you are busy and such so I'm sorry if I bother you. Don't feel obliged to help.

If you can help let me tell you a few things about myself. I took speech this summer and I loved it. My favorite class besides bio. I like to speak infront of people and inform them. There was this kid that was having a hard time w/ one of his speeches. So i helped him gave him tips and helped organize his speech. I think it was either his 3d or 4th time he had to redo his speech and after I helped him he finally passed. I really like helping people and advising them. I have to work w/ people. I love working w/ others and need that kind of environment. I also really like biology it's so interesting. I like to do research and learn new things. I like to be in charge. I can be a follower but I would definitely rather be the leader. Hmm I also love organizing and planning things. I like to put things in order and I like structure. Im not creative or artistic at all lol. I like to make lists and follow a schedule. And I love kids. I like to solve problems. I like challenges and im pretty patient. Thats all I can think of lol.

What career path would you think fits me best?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

First thing that hits me is Politics ( given what you've stated PLUS the current TV fare....) as a possible field. You need much of, or develop much of those traits as you progress. Perhaps an attorney ( Bot God KNOWS we have more than enough of them) unless you plan on working for or with the poor, the destitute, with Legal Aid, etc. Many of the poor have little to no access to legal services. You may choose to be a speech write, a campaign organizer, a newsperson (tv or print), radio personality.

Perhaps iff up in the air...think of fields that will still be in demand and will ( sadly ) be growing fields....nursing, doctors ( the medical field will ALWAYS have a need) and though a bit morbid... very much in need and VERY lucrative....Mortician.
