It depends on whether or not you want to go to college. I wouldn't get to overwhelmed with what "career" you will have after graduation because most people go through about 7+ in a lifetime!
If you don't expect to go to college then I would start thinking Junior or Senior year as to what technical job you are interested in. Do you like work with tools? people? ideas?
If you do plan on going to college I would focus on what area of education you are interested in rather than what "career" as again that can change. So just do something that interests you or you'd like to learn more about and you will do well!
Still it's best to narrow these ideas down by at least Senior year. Visit a high school counselor and he/she will be more than happy to work with you and help you take career development tests etc.

Some people know immediately what they want to do. My former college roommate knew she wanted to be a teacher all her life.
On the other hand, I thought I wanted to be a lawyer through high school and college. I was close to graduation and realized I wasn't at all interested in law.
If you feel you want to get some experience (which is always a good idea) you can work at your local fast food place or retail store. Many people do it at some point and it is a good way to get a taste of the real world.
If you don't want to work or just want experience, try volunteering for something you really care about. The environment? Working with children? Tutoring? Teaching elderly people how to use the internet? Explore your options and figure out what you like. It's good for college AND you gain valuable experience and connections.

You should always keep your options open b/c there are sooo many jobs you've never even thought of... most people don't know what they want to do for sure until the first couple years in college anyways... take classes you think you might be interested in doing, then if you don't like that class you won't want to be in that certain field... and then what ever you do like you should do... If you don't want to be stuck at a desk all day, then business might not be for you... like helping people maybe work in a hospital or with kids...

enable's be completely truthful, the final public of the employers immediately that require you to have a level bearing on that field are searching for that degree, and what you could deliver into the organisation, no longer what intense college you attended. I easily have yet to have an company ask to work out college, much less intense college transcripts.

probably by 11th grade. That way you can choose the electives and major classes you'll need to get into the college progam you want.

I know at some schools they make you take a COPS survey in sophmore year, so i would start at about end of sophmore, start of junior year.

Hello Austin,
The earlier you find what you love to do, the earlier you can start training for it. Maybe a movie critic?
