What is the ideal or best career for me?

Question

I am 15 years old and I'm in my Junior year of high school.

They say that what you've been most interested in as a child reflects the kind of career that would appeal to you the most when you're older.

I've always been interested in the arts as a kid, so I guess that's not too hard to find jobs that have to do with that. My mom says I was especially good at turning something simple or even ugly into something great. I think that's my best quality, up to now.

I like being organized, yet I love having the freedom to work with no boundaries too. Top things I love are fashion, writing, music, food, art, and furniture or homes. I have enjoyed music since childhood and play piano, and sing for a band. I'm opinionated and I can write very good, too, and people tell me that. Writing would be great one day, but I don't think it would be fulfilling enough for me. I like the thought of working with fashion, or designing... or making food. I want a job that lets me create or introduce things, or turn things into something great.

Help? A suggestion or a list of ideal careers would be very much appreciated.

fashion designer

Answer 2

I would suggest talking to some of the career counselors at your school if you have them.  There are also a lot of personality and skill profiling tests that can be taken, both online and offline.  These are very useful to have, and they will give you the kinds of lists that you're looking for.  They're the kinds of questions that only you can answer, so that's my best suggestion for you.  Google it!

Answer 3

Art and music are great past times, but not very good careers.  It doesn't mean that you cannot make money off of either, but it is very difficult to do so.  Look into interior decorating or fashion design, they are both careers that should suite your creative side while providing you with a steady income.

Good Luck!
