I'm sooo lost. Everytime someone asks me what i want to do when i get older i have NO clue. my bestfriend (that moved an hour away a while ago, we are still bff tho =). and like she seems to think that after school we're gonna move to BC to get this thing, and then go to California, and do some school there, and then we're gonna be fashion designer or w.e. Okay, so the question what type of career shoudl i persue? I want something that has to do with animals, and nature and forests and stuff. But i don't want to be a vet i can't stand to stick needles in animals. My dad has wanted to be a forest ranger but he couldn't because he couldn't stay away for 2 yrs. I want some sort of career that doesn' have me sittin' at a desk all day, but will allow me to go outside, and someday hopefully give me enough leeway so when i do decide to ahve kids, my work wont interfere with it (i know i'm thinking ahead alot, but hey i can't help it) i can't think of a career i would like to persue. help pl

Okay, now slow down girl! You didn't say how old you are, but most of the time any career begins with four years of college. The first two are mostly just "getting the basics" out of the way. So, really after you get into college, you have another couple of years to figure out what you'd like to major in.
Secondly, in order to find out what you want to "be" when you grow up (lol!) you should volunteer in some different areas.
You are ahead of most people in that you are already thinking about careers and kids! So you are already heading down the right road. You already know that you want kids at some point. But take one step at a time. First, figure out what you want to do in life to earn money. You haven't even got a husband yet, so no need to thinks about kids yet. And you can't have a kid until you can make a living. So I think you are putting the cart before the horse here.
Don't let your friend tell you how you're going to spend your life either. My friend talked me out of majoring in Dental Hygiene saying "you don't want to do the same thing everyday for the rest of your life, do you?". Now I'm 52 years old and I'm pretty sure I would have loved that career.
Take care and good luck!
