I am good in history, literature, math and english but I dont know of any high paying jobs that cradle these qualities. And I really dislike anything dealing with science other then biology. I'm afraid when it comes my time to go to college I will have nothing to major in that I love and will be studying for all the wrong reasons. I just want to do something that I love but can also get me good pay. But besides that, is there any job for me? Because so far, I've seen nothing I can do in the future and being unprepaired is the worst thing that can happen to me, now. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading. ^_^

My best advice to you is to do the best you can in all of your subjects right now. When you select a college, try not to specialize. Go to a college that has a good reputation in many different fields of study so when you decide to shift direction, you can stay at the same institution.
My daughter started her college career as a geology major. After one semester she decided that wasn't what she wanted to do so she changed to a dual psychology/criminal justice major.
This is a great question for your guidance councilor at school. They have a bunch of information about possible jobs that match your interests.

Being good at something, some formal education, passion and hard work is what you need to succeed. Liberal Arts majors are getting employment in all areas-companies see value in intelligent, well-rounded, articulate individuals. Once you get to college, a whole new world of knowledge will open up to you, and you will begin to find areas where you can build a career doing what you like. At collegeboard.com they have a lot of information about careers you never even heard of, matched up with specific strengths and interests. Don't overstress worrying about this...your time will come...Good luck!

The video game industry rakes in more money than the movie industry, and has a huge demand for skilled artists. If you're looking for a good job dealing with art skills, there's your target! A plethora of schools are offering degrees in video game art design, and will help you tune your abilities to apply more specifically to that arena.
I hope I see you in the credits for Halo 3 sometime. :)

Potential paths:
PhD route - university professor
The best "design" positions - architecture and industrial design - require a fair amount of physics - but if you can handle the math I bet you can handle the physics
Interior design - if you have enough entrepreneurial skill to run your own business
Are you interested in computer graphics/animation/game design?
