Need advice for furture

[Voula]

Well I'm in grade 10, I'm 15 years of old, and I have no idea what I want to become when I'm older, I think I am dedicated to things I want and I will go for them, but unsure what I want to do in my future. I can easily take the easy way and work a close mate/family doing some hard labor, but I want to be successful in life

Thank you, please consider I am 15 with not the best vocabulary.

I'm pretty much facing the same situation as you. Uncertain about the future. I guess the best we can do is research more and learn more new things and finally, one day, we will find something we enjoy doing and pursue it

You don't exactly have to know what kind of job you want right now, but my suggestion is to go towards something you enjoy. Your only 15 atm, say if you enjoy Biology or Physics or something mathematical, do that for now and more ideas/opportunities will open to you in the future as you get a better understanding of what you want to be.

I also suggest you research on your subject of interest to know what potential future job you could have opportunities to.

And finally, if you ever want to know something more specific, then I recommend you get real educational advice from professionals over here - http://www.worldwidelearn.com/education-advisor/officehours.php

Everyone goes through that part in life where they have absolutely no idea what they want to do. To be completely honest with you, don't sweat it. You're only 15, you're still in highschool. You have time to figure out what you want, it'll come. And don't be afraid if you start going to college for something and you want to switch majors. I started off in college as an english major, halfway through I switched to graphic art and design.. and now I'm pulling out of college and going for cooking and pastry at some college 700 miles away. I'm not saying that will happen to you, I'm just saying don't be afraid for it to happen. You have to try things to figure out if you like them or not. You'll never ever know until you try.

So my advice, sit back, enjoy your ride through highschool, and quit worrying. Do whatever feels natural. And if you end up not liking what you're going for, switch.

And it's so true.

Honestly, don't even worry about it now. Schools make it seem like you have to know what you want to do for the rest of your life by your 18th birthday, but you really don't. Most people end up changing majors in college. For now, do what you're doing. Find things that you enjoy and make hobbies of them. Work hard in school so that you can graduate and go to college, then take some classes that interest you. Even if you spend your first two years in liberal arts taking general classes, you can always establish a major later on.

Or you can opt out of college altogether. I dropped out after one semester, but make sure you have a backup plan like I did. If you're going to skip out on college make sure you have a skill that you can get a full time job with. If you don't go to college simply because you don't want to but you have no backup plan or skill set that could function as one, you'll find yourself with the best job available to be retail management which, while it's a lifestyle, may not be comfortable at times.
