Question

Hi my name's Delilah.. that wasn't a question i know.. it was a statement, my question is..

Is there any ideas on a career i should take that would make me happy?

I really enjoy travelling so that would have to be a main thing in a career i choose..

i was thinking maybe journalist.. but don't they just work for magazines?

i don't think i'd be able to work in a magzine..

I was also thinking maybe interpreter because i have a huge interesti n languages and learning different kinds.. but i don't know >_<;

I just turned 17 and alot of my family has been telling me that by now i should have a career in mind.. but i have no clue.. Please help!

Answer 1

Answer 2

interpreter seems pretty ideal for you since you like to travel. :]

and journalism is waaay more than magazines.

Answer 3

Well, given the limited amount of interests you&#039;ve listed I&#039;d say  you have a pretty good idea yourself.  If you want other ideas it would be helpfull to learn a little more about you.

Answer 4

If you enjoy traveling and you have huge interest in languages, why not take up Foreign Service career or a career in mass media? Both have many employment possibilities that include traveling in different places, like flight stewardess, diplomats, writers, etc...  

Answer 5

Try taking a few courses in different languages and see if you like it and good at it.

Other jobs to consider; Photographer, travel writer, interpreter, cruise director, travel agent, international make-up artist, traveling salesperson, and I&#039;m sure there are several others.

I think too many parents put to much pressure on their children which sometimes makes them choose poorly in their careers. It is best to know before you graduate high school just to make sure you hit the college deadlines. Plus several people change their degree choices in their second year of college. You’re not locked in.

Answer 6

How about TV person. They seem to do a lot of traveling.

hey, I&#039;m over 50 and I still don&#039;t know what I want to be when I grow up.
