I have intersets and ideas of what I want but I am not sure. Ok I love to read about very dark things, I love vampires, music, I love helping other people, I like to work on the computer, I love to draw. Anyone have any ideas of what I can do? If so how would I go about doing it?

Go to college - even if it is Community College. Concentrate on the overview courses built into each curriculum and you may find something you really like. Something in graphic arts would tie in a lot of your interests.

You can do WHATEVER you want to do. You have to listen to that inner voice and go in the direction that feels right. Take the time to write a list including those areas you are passionate about, areas of interest, and things you're good at doing. Then search online for jobs including those key words. Do a search on amazon for career exploration books...there are many of them. The book, "What color is your parachute" is a good one.
I don't agree that you should do something for a living that allows you to have the time/funds to do what you interests you. You spend a good part of your life working so you might as well do something you love. You're young without the responsibilities of a family so take the time you need to discover what makes you happy. If you don't have a part-time job then get one (working in a music store, in the human services field, art gallery, graphics etc) and talk to people about career options. Look at the professional job section in the newspaper and online and learn what jobs are out there and if you still don't find the "right" job, then keep looking and try not to fear the unknown. You have to be active in the career search. Don't rely on someone else to tell you what you can do or should be doing. The right career for you is out there. Enjoy the exploration and good luck!

If college isn't your thing, go to the military. I joined the Airforce and it was a good experience and helped me grow up. If that isn't your thing, go to college. You can always go into an open general liberal arts type of degree. Until you can narrow down what you want to do. Unfortunately we all need to work to live. Unless you were born wealthy, which I'm gonna guess and say you weren't. The things that you are describing are really pretty common interests. It would be hard to earn a living at any of them. So, do what alot of us do. Work to provide a living for yourself, so you can enjoy the things that you do like. Welcome to the adulthood. Work isn't about fun, it's about providing for yourself and your family. Of course, it's a plus if you can enjoy what you do. Good luck. Just don´t give up.

What is the reason that you are not thinking about higher education, college or university? You could go and join the Air Force, Coast Guard, or the Navy, perhaps while serving your country, you get more education and more experience which could help you decide what you may want to do.

How about a nurse?
You'll be helping people, dealing with some dark stuff, using computers. And you'd be able to draw and play music to relax.

Enter a community college and start taking some of the core courses. As you explore these, you'll find yourself attracted to some ideas more than others. Let your experience guide you in your choices. Good luck!

Hmmm....are you legal yet, LOL...just kidding.
Perhaps you could do web design, it's not consistant, so perhaps do that on the side, and go to college and get a nursing degree; you'd be able to help plenty of people, and you get to see cool gross stuff ;)

you can go to a college that has most of the things you like in them and you need to find a certain career that you want to do.

Join the club. You can talk to a councelor at your school. Maybe there's a career day somewhere where you can get info on different fields.
