I just started my frist year of high school and I started to think- what am I going to do with my career after this? I'm split between what I love to do, and what I like, but it may be kind of difficult.
I love theater, and I'd love to be an actress, but I know so few people actually make it big in that career. I'd also love to sing and everyone says I have a great singing voice, but so few make it in that career as well. Video Game desing was something I always thought would be fun...but it would be so hard....and it's supposed to be very competetive.
Anyone have any good advice on choosing a career? I love all three, but I'm afraid I woun't know what to do in time to choose what to major in in college.

Be true to your self which of this three do you think you love and do better than all the others? that will be your calling.the basic rule is always have a plan B, and never make money the only reason for choosing a career. you are also a freshman so your options are wider than you think, put a hold on this question for a couple of years when everything is clear. good luck

Crawl your way into the highest math class and stay there through your graduation. Take chemistry and physics.
Let's pretend you're going straight to college and will major in mathematics or a "lab science" like chemistry or physics. Keep this as your "operating assumption" through high school. Do all the math and science homework.
RECOMPUTE this operating plan once you are accepted at college and are putting in for your freshman schedule -- but -- don't recompute this plan before then.
You can always leave MIT and become an actor (James Woods did that!). But you can't reverse that, you can't go BACK to math and science classes once you stop being a student.
nice question very happy

You sound like you're giving up before even trying. You make these statements about what you "love" but make excuses about why you won't succeed. Are you afraid of failing or succeeding? If you believe something is "hard" do you avoid even trying? You seriously need to think about that. Life is hard. If you run away every time something is hard you won't ever have the satisfaction of achieving a goal.

Follow your heart and stick with what you love, you will never be truly happy if you don't...I was scared to follow my dreams when I first started high school and when I graduated I went on to college and I hate it, I switching gears and going after what I really love now and I wish i hadn't been so afraid to do it earlier. Good Luck!

Don't worry, you have a lot of time to decide what you want to do...
I changed my mind about different careers that I wanted to do fifteen times when I was in high school...

Just stick to the basics of math, science, english, etc.
The rest you can do on the side.
