Answer 1

you can start by relaxing..... there are plenty of adults who don't know what they want to do.

The first thing you should do is take a career interest inventory life the Self Directed Search or Myers Briggs.Talk to your HS guidance counselor about which ones they have at your school.

Then once you get some ideas research them on the Occupational Outlook Handbook on the DOL website. Its a great website for information on earnings, job growth, and educational requirements of a variety of positions.

Good luck!

Answer 2

First, figure out how much money you want to be earning per year, then couple that with what you're good at, and add what you really feel you want to do 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year (minus vacation time)...Then, realize that you might be a moron for thinking you could get $150,000 right out of college...Best careers as far as money right off the bat tend to lean toward financial or accounting jobs...if you're really good, around $50,000 or$60,000 a year...i.e....if you're not good at math or don't like it, it's not a good idea...
