OK. It's time for me to pick a career already. but i'm not so sure about what i really want. i like history, law, geography, languages a lot. so please could you give me some career advice?
don't say lawyer or teacher because i really don't want it.

It sounds like you may be interested in a career in the diplomatic core of the foreign services. There are a multitude of exciting career paths to take including the United Nations, International Press/News agencies, interpretor, foreign ambassador legions (i don't know what the US term for it is), spy (yes it's possible). Do you enjoy travelling overseas perhaps?
A word of warning though. It's one thing to say you enjoy what you do, but the foreign services core has traditionally been an extremely competitive sphere, so be prepared to work really hard.

My first thought with your interests was a lawyer dealing with government treaties. There could be options in the civil service or if you are really good at the languages, possibly simultaneous translator like at the UN. It doesn't seem like a long term career, but what about tour guide? That uses at least three of your interests.

If you're in high school (or even college already), your counselor's office should have career assessment tests you can take. They'll ask questions regarding your likes and dislikes and point out 2-3 professions that match! Good luck.

You are still young. So take your time. Since, you like history and languages. You can become a jouralism, news reporter go into broadcasting, be an technical writer for the government. I hope this helps

Your interest in geography may align with the projected job growth in the geospatial arena. These links may give you some ideas.

Take a vocational aptitude test. They should have them at your counselors office.
