I want to find a career by next semester?

[Nikki H]

Im 19 and I still dont know what career I want to have. Next semester and I want to start taking the classes that benefit that unknown career. I like to help people and be around people. I want a job with a yearly salary of above 55,000 a year. I was thinking about social services but they dont make enough money. Can anyone please list some careers down.(no medical careers unless it involves business/finance)

hmmm...let's see:

Prostitute--you're definitely around people and helping them;
Drug dealer--same as above, but without all the pesky, physical contact.

Seriously...at 19, you have NOOOOO clue (as evidenced by you having to ask this question) as to what "career" you should pursue...so, continue taking a wide variety of classes that expose you to a lot of disciplines. You probably have some time before declaring a major anyway.

You could also start looking in to part-time jobs or summer internships in some fields that may interest you and actually get in to the work place to see if that field may be worth further exploration.

You're 19...no need to rush. Statistically speaking, you'll change jobs like 11 times in your professional life and change "careers" something like 3 times. Just relax and explore!!
