With an average IQ, you can do anything you want to, and don't let anyone tell you differently. :)
Average is great!
Most people in business have only average IQs, but claim much higher.
Good luck.

What are you interested in doing? IQ usually has little to do with how well you do a job. I don't think that you could be a nuclear physicist, but you could certainly be a policeman, fireman, store manager, salesperson, etc. I want to tell you something that I learned from experience, sometimes the higher the IQ the less common sense a person has. I do not have all that high of an IQ either, but held a very good paying position as a legal secretary. As a legal secretary, I worked with people that were supposedly "intelligent". Yes they had all sorts of degrees from college, but some lacked that all important common sense gene. So don't knock yourself for being "average". Average people have achieved some very great things.

Almost anything, except maybe rocket scientist. The average IQ of medical doctors is 110, not that much higher than your 103. So you're easily within range to be a doctor (you might have to study a bit harder than the other people in your classes, but if you decide that's what you want to do, do it.). Don't think of being average as a bad thing! Nearly everyone out there is average, that's why it's average.

The average IQ is 100 (worldwide, not just in the US), this means about 63% of the people score in this range. Careers open range from custodial work to CEOs of major corporations. It is amazing that so many answers here have IQa over 130 since only about 6% of the worlds population fit there. Average IQ just means you have the ability to learn almost anything in which you have an interest. Your career is limited to whatever you want to do and in which you get training and have a desire to pursue. For a career choice, a much better test is something like the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory.

Did you get that result from an accurate and respected test? If not, I would take several if you are doing it online and average your scores. If you took it in person, you can factor cultural bias and testing anxiety into your result.
IQ isn't the best predictor of career aptitude because if it was there would be IQ tests attached to every interview and employment application that exists.
Your best bet is to not focus on IQ when making these types of decisions. Find an area of interest to you, whether trade related or academic, and go from there. Finding something stimulating will be one of the best predictors of what you can do in the future and how well you will do with it.

Where did you get that number? If it was on one of those websites that offer iq tests, they are timed, so if you were doing other things while you were taking it, that is what dropped your score. 100 is considered average. Try tickle.

Go here and do the IQ test and just do the test - remember its timed, your IQ doesn't have any bearing on job opportunities, even people with disabilities can find work, its all about motivation and trying to do a good job. Hope this helps.

Your IQ score is in the middle of the average range. The IQ score doesn't really qualify you or disqualify you for any careers. The most important factors are willingness to work hard and aptitudes for certain types of work.

Your IQ has nothing to do with job qualifications. YOU are the only one who can figure out which jobs YOU would like or like to have. Your education, training, personal interests and job experiences will offer more of an indication to your career potential

IQ tests aren't that accurate, and potential employers have never asked me what my IQ was on an interview. I wouldn't worry about what the IQ test says and look more towards what you enjoy doing.

Anything you want with education and training. There are things you are better at, and things you aren't. An IQ test is basically for educational purposes and doesn't take certain things into account. I wouldn't put a whole lot of credence into it. Don't let it bring you down either way.
Do what you love and study. That's all.
