I'm in my junior year in high school, and I still don't know what I want to do. I like working with computers and people. I've been taking all the computer(and business) classes I can, but I'm still not sure if that is what I want to do. I like astronomy and studying law; the problem with these though is that they both require maths which I hate. Just looking for some suggestions.

Jo has been out of college for several years and still doesn't know what he will do when he grows up. What's the rush??

Chances are good your high school has some sort of career counseling or college counseling. Too, if there is a college nearby, they will offer aptitude testing. They ask you loads of personality questions to get an idea of what sorts of things you might be good at doing. (There will be a charge for this, but it could be well worth the money.)
If you have good computer, business and people skills, there are all sorts of careers out there. Try out some jobs after school or on summer breaks to see what is interesting. And know that the career in which you start doesn't necessarily mean you will have to stay in that career forever. I was recently at a seminar with roughly 300 people mostly in their 40's. The speaker asked everyone, "How many of you are doing the same work for which you trained in college?" Out of all those people, less than a dozen hands went up. Remember, new kinds of jobs are being invented all the time. (Who designed, built, marketed, and sold cell phones 20 years ago? Nobody.)
Finally, astronomy will take some serious math. Law is less likely to do so. See if you can find people who work in these fields, (through teachers, friends and family,) and ask to speak to them briefly. Most people who like what they do are happy to answer questions about what they do in an average week, what it took to get there, and what they don't like about their work. If they can easily dissuade you from something, then it's best to keep looking. Good-luck.

Most majors require some math classes. If you want to work with computers, you could major in Management Information Systems or Computer Information Systems... that major requires less math courses than Computer Science.
