In my school they are always asking us what we want to be when we get out of Highschool. I change my mind every day about what I want to do. Should I make up my mind fast, or do I have time? I am a great writer, ballerina, singer, and actor.
What Should I Do??????

You have plenty of time to think about what you want to be "when you grow up". There are several things you can do.
1. Get involved in activities in your school that could give you some insight into some occupations. Since you sing, dance, and act, perhaps you could look into theater arts. I imagine your school puts on a few plays, or a musical during the year. See if you really like doing something like that. If you do, then look into what you would have to do as far as education was concerned and what the job opportunities in the field of entertainment would be.
2. Talk to family and friends about their occupations. Do you know anyone who works in a field in which you think you might be interested? If so, talk to them about their work. What about parents of some of your friends? Maybe you could talk to them.
3. Does your school have a program where local people come in and explain what they do for a living and what type of education is needed for that occupation? That gives students like yourself a chance to see what other people do, the advantages and disadvantages of a variety of jobs.
4. Your guidance counselor should have information about various occupations. Talk to your counselors and check out their resources.
Don't make up your mind fast - take your time. The bottom line - for your life-long work, try to do something that you will like, that you will love.
Don't worry that you haven't made up your mind yet. You never know what tomorrow will bring.
Don't rush, don't feel guilty if you change your mind every week, and don't let others pressure you into making a quick decision.
I wish you the best in your future and if you take your time and stay cool, it will work out. Have a good Freshman year!

Many freshman in college still don't know what they want to be.. Don't think that at your age you should have an answer-Just tell the person that you have not decided.
Give yourself time to figure out what what you like to spend time doing. Perhaps spend time in the summer volunteering in an organization you may be interesting in learning more-read about it.
What would you have to major in college to do it, what are the hours, what is the pay scale, could you see yourself doing that profession.
If you don't want to go to college maybe you need to learn a trade. have fun- talk to your school counselors if you intend to go to college so you take the courses you need.
ask your friends what they think they want to be when they grow up and see what they have to say.
If you are a great writer, ballerina, singer, and actor, participate in local theaters, meet people in that business, learn from them-perhaps you'll write a play one day, or a movie. You love to dance and sing-would you want to try to get into a school for that-good luck

Yes, you have time. Now I am a sophomore right now but last year I didn't know either. What I did was, since I really liked art, I looked for some interesting/unique/more fun jobs in that field. I really liked this show about how to make weird looking cakes so I thought that would be cool, but then I met this one kid who goes to school for "special effects". I SO want to do that now, with building the props and stuff. So I guess I'm trying to say It will come to you. I was worried like you then BAM It's "omg that's cool I want to do that!" lol hope you find something.

I alternatively knew precisely what I desired to be while I grew up. Let me let you know what......I am now not that nor am I whatever even remotely hooked up to what I desired to be while I obtained out of institution. You do have time. Think approximately what interrests you and move from there. I took plenty of categories in HS that experience most likely not anything to do with what I do for a dwelling now. In university is in which you have to buckle down and real make a decision or even then you will have a few years of easily regular ed so calm down and revel in HS don't pressure but.

you have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much time to figure it out. You do something that aligns with what you are interested in, so start there and then start looking at the different kinds of jobs related to that. If they are pressuring you b/c of college and classes look at different kinds of performing and theorhetical performance majors and jobs in those fields.

you have plenty of time. you really don't have to know what you wanna do until it's time to fill out college applications so you'll know what kind of college you want to go to.
