ok so i have 3 careers in mind: at first I wanted to be a teacher then i was thinking about it the other day and since im a good drawer and i really enjoy drawing final fantasy character i thought maybe i could get a job in animation, and then i was thinking about voice acting. I mean i really think that voice acting would be a really fun industry to be in. I know since im 13 i have lots of time to decide but still i would really like to know a bit about these 3 jobs: like how well do they pay? and ihow fun are they? and how easy or hard it is to get that job? Please help!

At 13, it may be too early to tell what your future path will be. Focus on doing well in school and getting into a good liberal arts college. Going to a liberal arts college will give you the opportunity to explore different career fields through classes and clubs. At most colleges, you don't even have to decide what your major will be until you're a Junior, and even then, most people do not work in the field they majored in.
My mom always told me not to worry about how much a job will pay. Follow your heart, and everything else will fall into place. You'll learn that money isn't the most important thing.

At 13 it is admirable that you are looking to the future and a career. You could get the book "What Color is Your Parachute" it has a great test for your personality type and can be quite revealing. By knowing your strengths and weaknesses you can better make this kind of decision. Teaching is a admirable profession but can be rather restrictive in creativity due to politics, union standards and community limitations be aware of the pitfalls, animation is mostly computer based these days so that career would require a lot of technical knowledge, voice acting is highly competitive and difficult to get into but once some notoriety is achieved it can be very fulfilling and with the Internet it is a growing enterprise. Look at your strengths and weakness and study to balance them to the career path you choose. Good Luck!

Stick to your plan to become a teacher. As a teacher you'll have many opportunities to use your artist talents. You will also have the chance to use your voice in classroom settings and presentations. Teaching is an honorable profession with good pay and benefits. As you pursue your education toward this goal, maybe one of your other dreams will fall into play too. It never hurts to have more than one skill...

If you want to consider the acting field, I would recommend checking out a talent agency. I am a talent scout for toospoiled.com, an international talent agency, and would love to have you signed up on our site. We cater to actors, models, dancers, and comics, and are branching out in the next few months to musicians and child talent as well. I have worked for internet sites before and will not waste my time on one that is ineffective. Joining is free and can be done during a commercial break, so no great investment is needed to join and start exploring the talent industry.
You have nothing but a few seconds to lose and everything to gain. All you need to do is log onto toospoiled.com (works best with internet explorer), enter my scout code STPE8759, and fill in the forms. It can be used as just a social site like MySpace and you can get paid for the ads on your page.
