Answer 2

you should take the STRONG interest inventory.  there is an authentic version that you must pay to take (at career centers in colleges and high schools, or in the communtiy.  google for one near you), but there are shorter versions that are free online.  it will give you career ideas based on your interests!   There are also other tests you can take that can link your interests to careers, but the STRONG is the most popular.

Answer 3

well if you are good at math and love animals what about being a vet? or if you are good at math but not real social what about forensics or some kind of lab work?

Answer 4

be a Veterinarian !

Answer 5

To me you seem to have various interests you might consider a career in not for profit organizations. The jobs at these places can range from helping people to doing the books for the organization and the people there come from all different back grounds. Some from social work, business, human services, education and so on. Have you also considered...

When thinking about a career choice you should also consider self sufficiency as an adult. My suggestion would be to go to college. This will allow you at least two years to figure out what you want to do, while you are taking core courses. While at school you can  take classes in subjects you may want to potentionally have a career in, to get a better understanding of that discipline. The other side of the coin is gearing yourself toward a career that will earn enough to support you and any children you may have. That&#039;s why again college is the way to go. To most potential employers a college degree equals more money in your pocket.

Answer 6

When it comes to finding the right job most people don&#039;t settle on something right away. Also, most people end up changing throughout their lives so what you like now will probably be different 5-10 years from now. I agree that you should go to college. Either community or 4 year. Take lots of classes, make new friends and take advantage of the fact that career centers are FREE! for students. Almost every college career center in the US will have you take the STRONG interest inventory along with a personality profile and then they will have a professional career counselor interpret them with you. It can be fun. Here is a little secret not many people know: Here in California and in many other states every single community college actually has a free career center where anyone can do these things. Although you will have to pay for the tests if you are not a student. Seeking help from a few professionals will give you some very valuable skills in presenting yourself to perspective employers.

The bottom line is take your time figuring it out. You have the rest of your life to find the perfect job.
