Answer 1

Other people will never, ever, ever be able to answer this question for you.

If you rely on other people's opinions to dictate what you do with your own life, you are destined to be unhappy. You must ask yourself "why" you want to be those things above. You must also work toward something.

Most people have no purpose in their life. They kind of have a sort of general idea of what they maybe might want, but nobody really knows for certain. Nobody is ever really able to say, "I want exactly this". People, instead, go through life lookign for the "next" best thing. A little more money, little bigger car, little better relationship, and so on, and so on, endlessly unsatisfied, endlessly seeking a greater feeling of purpose or accomplishment.

For you, it looks like you want to do something that inspires, assists, or in some way deals with other people. Noble traits, of course. I think your problem right now is that you have a good idea of what you want, you just can't quite find a way to get to it, or you at least know the general direction of what you want, but the path leading to it seems a little too difficult.

Your best bet is to self inquire long and hard. You will be better served looking inside yourself for these answers than you will be looking outside. I hope people help you make your decision with the responses that you get, but I say it again.....this is one question you will have to ultimately answer on your own.

Good luck.

Answer 2

You don't need to make up your mind any time soon. Just continue your education and don't major in something that is really confining. If you think you want to be a Dr go Pre-Med and then there are lots of ways to go. If you think some time in the future you don't want to make the investment of time and money a MD takes, you can shift gears into nursing and then there are so many options in that field you can't count them. If you are a real beauty, you can work at that while you get your degree. Very few models are still working at 30 so you still need a degree. I'm pretty old and I can tell you that almost everyone I know changes careers at some point in their lives. I was a florist for many years and then became a Realtor. Both very fun jobs. You seldom know what you want to do with your next 45 years when you are twenty so give yourself a lot of room to make changes. Good Luck and God Bless

Answer 3

Well the best career to have is a nurse, But I think you should go to the Army, and become an Army nurse, you get the training, you get the benefits, You get to travel, And you will help people, And help the wounded, And when you get out and come home, You will or can retire early and you will have the benefits and the money and the education all wrapped up into one, In the 40s and 50s and 60s thats is what alot of woman did, just joined the Army, and became a nurse

Answer 4

Do the modeling and dancing while you're young. But if you don't make it on with a dance/modeling company, then go to school minor in dance and major in medicine. And when you eventually travel to africa you will be a well rounded doctor.

You can always become a doctor, you have a limited window to dance and model.

Answer 5

Welcome to the human condition.

Very few people know what they want to do with their life. Just keep yourself open, read books and learn and someday you'll find your calling.

Also, please don't become a model. The last thing we need is another coke snorting addict that basically wastes air. (But fortunately not very much food as she's oft throwing it back up)

Answer 6

College is the answer. A higher educational degree will help you do what you want. I am a school teacher.
