You've got to know yourself. What's your deepest ambition? Then ask yourself is that honestly achievable. You may be want to be a ballerina, but if you are 25 and you’ve have never worn a tutu there isn’t much chance of that now. If what really makes you happy is having lots of money and a good house then go for a well paid, if a little boring job - accountant or lawyer. However if you are the artistic sort and you have a burning passion do that then do it – as long as you accept you are likely to be poor your whole life. Maybe you are the caring sort whole likes looking after people and helping them – in which case a nurse or a teacher might be better. Know yourself, know your limitations, be honest. That’s a good start.

My best answer to this is do what you love to do. If you love to do something you will probably excell at it. A career in tourism sounds like fun. Any time you deal with the public it will be challenging. I would recommend working on a tour ship, you would travel all over and being on a ship would bring on lots of challenges. I'd do some research first then decide. If you do not enjoy what you do you will probably not do well at it. I look at it this way, One third of your life is sleep, one third of your life is leisure (fun), and one third of your life is work, Why not enjoy your work too?

OK, I have a lot to say about this, so please give this a read. \n\nI have three college degrees. One is an associate's (I went to a community college), one is a bachelor's, and one is a master's. I didn't decide on my major until my junior year of college, and even then, I wasn't sure if I made the right decision. \n\nDO NOT let anyone tell you that you have to decide right away. You don't. Declare yourself a liberal arts major and take as many different classes as you can. Take what sounds interesting. Take internships. Take as much as you can! The only way to find out what you want to do is explore and experiment. \n\nAnd you don't have to know what you want to do for a living right out of high school OR college. I'm 28, and I've just decided what my "calling" is. It took me a long time, but I finally made it. \n\nBut I also want to go back to school for more education in areas where I didn't get to take classes. So, please, explore and don't let anyone pressure you into choosing a major.\n\nBy the way, I majored in English, and the only reason I did it is because I love to write. I didn't make the decision for careers because I'm certainly not making a lot of money off of my writing. :)\n\nGood luck, and my best to you with whatever decisions you make!

sometimes you don't, so you try different careers.\nsometime there is the feeling that this is the one.\nfor me, i had no idea what i wanted to do, but i know what i like to do and what i don't like.  you might not find any career to fit your likes. so what do you do? make your own. trust me, it is a lot of fun. ask different people what their career is all about.\noh yeah, make sure it is fun or interesting because you will get bored quickly if it is not. just make sure it is something you like doing.

Hi there,\n\nAs a university student, here is my advice to you - go to university and try some things out, try reading books about subjects that interest you and asking people at the uni questions about it. Most importantly, don't expect to choose your career before you get to uni - very few people actually do that, most people actually don't really choose what they wanna do as a career until half way through their first year - but keep in mind that University is expensive, and you don't want to waste your money. SO, you should choose a general course like science or arts or liberal studies, and choose subjects that you like (I'd recommend getting into science and choosing biology - based on your question), and then probably by the end of the first year or semester you will have a better idea of what you want to do, but you will still be able to do it without having to repeat first year. Just ask around at the university!\n\nAlso, I don't recommend you take ANYONE's idea for what you should do as gospel. Listen to people's ideas (including my own and other people's on this site), but just be wary that their choices may be influenced by their own likes/dislikes not yours.\n\nFinally just keep in mind that Uni is expensive and that what you study may well be what you do for the rest of your life! so think long and hard before you make your decision, and research into it as much as you can (ask your parents for help with the research or even friends, they can help motivate you to think about it thoroughly - but don't let them influence your decision too much)\n\nhope this helped,\nFahed

What do you do for fun?  Try to make a career out of your favorite hobby.  I was majoring in psychology (which I had wanted to do since I was about 15), and a semester into college I realized it was not for me.  I changed to an "undecided" major and stayed in school for another 2 semesters before realizing that I was in the wrong place.  I transfered to a small art school and moved back in with my parents.  I'm one quarter away from graduating with my culinary arts degree and I couldn't be happier.  Don't look for a program that fits you, figure out what it is that you're good at, and then figure out what you have to do to make a living at it.

You could make a list of what you enjoy doing. Those things which seem to always peak your interest then see what careers are open in those fields then achieve an education so that you can apply for work in a field you love. Just remember if you enjoy getting up each morning and going to work that will make for a less strenuous work place.

Maybe you need to evaluate where you are in your life.  Its easy to know what you don't like about life.  Its a challenge to make a plan to change what you don't like and stick with it.  Do you like your job?  If no, why? If there was one job you could do and be satisfied in it, what would it be?  Are you in a relationship? If yes, where are you at in it?  Do you want out, are you happy, or are you just stagnant in the relationship?  If no, why?  Do you have any interests?  How is your health?  Are you overweight?  Do you exercise?  If no, why?  Answer these questions and you might see you have limiting beliefs.  Stuff we all tell ourselves like I don't exercise because its to hard.  If you tell yourself this daily(advertise to yourself), that is what you will believe.  If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

First of all no one can specifically tell you how to start a new career.\n\nYou must do your homework. Ask yourself these questions:\n\nWhat do I want to do?\nWhat skills do I have?\nWhere do I want to work?\n\nThen you will be able to have a better idea of how to start your new career.\n\nIf you can network with people who might be in the field or industry you are interested in.\n\nCheck out this website from Monster. It is about career advice topics you can use to start your research.\n\nGod Bless and best of luck with finding your new career!

You can't just pick a career and intelligence is only one factor, what do you have the personality for, good with people, good alone, good under pressure, good with tedium, good with delegation, these are all factors. All you can do is educate yourself  as much as possible and try different things

Satisfaction is a choice. If you cannot find something you enjoy about what you are doing, it's time to find another job. At the very least, there's some pride in doing the best you can. Finding joy in the little things. \n\nAt one job, I took a lot of satisfaction in doing things that after I did them, someone said it was impossible. I solved problems and got my company paid on bills that were long over due. I enjoyed talking to different kids of people, I liked learning new things. Even aspects that I found a bit annoying, I gave myself a big pat on the back for getting them finished and out of the way. \n\nMake a choice and find your own bits of sunshine. If you can't, like I said above, it's totally time for a new job.

I had this same problem.  My advice to you is to pick a major that you would be GOOD at.  When you're good at something you'll enjoy it more and instead of letting the money drive you, your passion will.

Very few people stick with one career for their whole lives.  Pick the thing that is most interesting to you now and pursue that.  As long as you're doing something you enjoy, you can pursue the other things you like as hobbies.  If you decide to change jobs, there will be time for that later, and you will get to do more than one of the things you enjoy.\n\nUnless you're looking at something that will take years and years of preparation--such as medical school--you need not feel as if you're making a permanent committment.  (And even then, you still have options.  I knew a guy who went all the way through medical school and then decided he didn't want to be a doctor.  He went back and did dental school; he loves being a dentist.)

Make a list of your talents. Then make a list of your passions and what you love. Then choose the best field that will allow you to utilize your favorite talents in something you love. (e.g. Bob is a good observer and very analytical. Bob loves being outdoors. He loves nature and trying to name all the plants he sees. - Bob studies ecology, biology, etc and becomes an plant biologist at a nature center).\nMost importantly choose a major you absolutely love learning about! Not about which will make you the most money, etc.

Hey, you're asking this in a category filled with teachers and parents who care enough about their kids to be asking for help....\n\nWhat do you think?\n\nDefinitely choosing a career that is emotionally fulfilling, and allows for family/friends/community time!
