Aren't there any career advisors around?

my opinion:
don't worry too much about that right now. do the best you can in your classes, and sooner or later, you'll find that some things interest you more, or, you are simply much better than most people in a subject. then just follow through with that.
to have a good overall perspective about what the job opportunities are in various fields, seek help from the career counseling at school. but do not be inclined to go for the careers only based on what it pays though. the fact is, if you are truly interested in something and follow through with your heart, you will excel in it, and everything follows. the last thing you want is to land up in something that pays well, but you do not derive any satisfaction from it.
the very fact that you are worried about what you want to do after finishing school basically suggests that you have the motivation to do something constructive in your life, and that is what matters the most. now just try and find out what you truly like and follow through with your heart. good luck!

Usually, its a good idea to know what kind of career you want BEFORE you go to college. College is an education to prepare you for the career you are targeting.
Either you can follow your major, or you can waste your money. Frankly, its probably time to grow up and make the hard choice to stick with your decision.
And there is no such thing as a work-free career. Despite how much you may love doing it, its still work. So, learn to love what you do. It's easier than you think.

I don't know how old your are, but you can take aptitude tests to determine what you are best suited for.
If you are in middle or high school you can ask a counselor and discuss your concerns and speak to your parents. Also seek out mentors in career fields you are interested in to get a real understanding of the job.
Remember you can always change your mind or tweak it when you decide on a career path.

lol i wouldnt listen to anyone who suggests a field to you based on thier belief in its future. No one knows what will happen as time goes on, all you can do is think really hard about your past and present and find out what you enjoy. When you realize waht you love most, find a field at your school conditioned to teach you all that you need to know. This way no matter where the world goes you will be happy and that is waht really counts :-)

Don't worry first! Second just slow down and try to find something you like doing. There is nothing better than doing something you like, do you have any hobbies or things you like to do? Try looking at your life so far, have fun. Sounds like you are very lucky, some people do not get a chance to do what they like, you do!

so you're pretty lost...? well first learn more about yourself. Find your own ability, what you are good at. and then find jobs that are fit with your own ability. a job that is good for our world is an example. but take some more education.

well, what are your interests?, write down on a piece of paper what you LOVE to do and see if you can find a job with one of your interest, if you love what you do at work it makes your career and life a whole lot easier

I don't know what country you are in.... but in the U.S. there are many companies that will assist you (for a fee)... and offer career options based on your likes/dislikes and your talents. Good luck
