Answer 1

The question you ask is a good one. It's really impossible for someone who hasn't worked to know how their interests and skills will fit into a job someday.

First, there's a really good book called What Color is your Parachute. It helps you look at the things you've enjoyed doing in the past - Scouts? sports? plays? making music? - to see what skills you really enjoy using. It's important to know what kinds of things you love to do, not just what you're good at in school (though that's important too).

Second, find out if your school library has a section on careers. There are books written just for high school and college students like you, and they describe the education you need for that career, the pay you can expect, the employment outlook, and what you'll be doing during the day.

Ask your parents if they know anyone who is in business management. It would be helpful to talk to someone who is a business manager, even if just for 20 minutes of their time. Think of three or four questions to ask them. The Parachute book has a chapter which can help you prepare for this.

You can relax somewhat about this, though, because you have a long time to get through high school and college, and your career goals can change during that time and also throughout your lifetime. It's a fun process!

Answer 2

First of all, congratulations on doing really well in school. The good thing about having all of those strengths is that you have a lot of possibilities, and while you may be frustrated that you don't know exactly what you want to do yet, I think the best situation to be in is one where you aren't stuck doing just one thing because that is all you are capable of or trained for!

They say that most people today will go through 6-8 careers, not just jobs, in their lifetimes. I often tell my students that the perfect job for them may not have been invented yet. If I think back to when I was in college, and the choices we had available to us then, and then I look at all of the jobs that no one had yet thought of yet then that exist now, I know that the world will continue to progress and new careers will pop up all the time.

Business management covers a lot of ground, but the basic idea is that you would eventually be involved in running a business, dealing with employees, developing products to offer the marketplace, finding financing, and the like. Even within that, there are a lot of options. This morning I attended a talk given by the founder of Chuck E. Cheese and Atari; he now has a new entertainment restaurant chain he is starting up, but what is clear is that he is a lifetime entrepreneur, who can take ideas and put them together with people and financing to make things happen, and he's been very successful at it.
