Have you thought about being a surgical tech? It's a 2 year degree.......you assist surgeons (sterilize and prep the tools, make sure all tools are there for surgery--requires lots of memorization, and other things...) in the operating room and make decent money (depending where you live).

It's great that you're thinking about this now. If your school has a career center, make an appointment to meet with a counselor. Where I went, I was able to take personality tests and then sit down with a counselor to discuss possible career paths. It sounds like you want to get out of school with a degree that you can use right after graduating, so keep this in mind when choosing a major. A couple of years before you graduate, try interning in the field that you might be interested in pursuing professionally. You may not get a paid internship, but it would give you a taste of the job and field. You'd get to see how things work and you'd get a line on your resume. Don't stress about it too much right now, just focus on having good study habits and making good grades.

There are various tests you can take to determine what kinds of careers you might be good at. Contact your high school guidance counselor for advice.
In college, you may be able to enroll as a no-preference major, and try different classes in different areas while you work on the core classes that everyone takes - math, english, computers, etc. There should also be a counseling center of some sort or an advisor staff that can help you pick a major, too.

Don't worry during your first year of college. Take advantage of any career planning your college offers, and find out how to do some work on your own (at school). Also ask for books or other reference materials you can purchase or use at the library. Do NOT rely on just one test--get different types and ask to help someone interpret them for you.
You don't really need to know until into your sophmore year as you need to take general education requirements such as English, math and social sciences. Medical school is out if you don't want more than a 4-year degree. Possibly health care management might be a possibility, or clinical areas such as nursing. Many professional degrees will pay better than a general degree like psychology or English.

Try taking a career aptitude quiz - www.assessment.com has one, costs $20 to get the results. This will help match your personal interest to a career that you would probably enjoy.
Don't worry so much about what you take in college as a freshman. Undergraduate college is more about learning who you are and being independent than it is about learning a career.

Just take the basics and see what appeals to you. Every major requires core classes so just start with these. the bigest mistake is choosing a major that you are unsure if you like. It is easy to end up wasting a lot of credits taking classes for this major and then realizing it is not for you. This is what happend to me, and i am now a 5th year psyc major.

An accounts manager for Vodafone or Orange will pay while you train and gives you everything you listed except surgeries
