So, I've never really known what I wanted to do when I grow up. I've played around with a lot of ideas and non have stuck with me. Now as I'm finishing high school, I'd really like a direction to focus on. I know that people are always like "you don't need to have it all figured out, your young!" and stuff. But my sister has known she's wanted to be a doctor since the age of five. So, I'd really like to have a direction or some focus. Doesn't matter if it changes later on, I'd still like to have one.
I'm looking for a job that is somewhat dependable. I don't want to be an actor or singer or writer - things that depend of luck. I'd also like to ENJOY my job. I've seen what having a job you hate can do to a person.
I think I'm an INFJ. I've had moments of doubt. I'm definitely and "J" person as I like to have structure in my life. I think about the future and daydream a lot, so I think that makes me an N? I'm an introvert. People around crowds tires me out. After having lunch with friends at school, I have to walk to class alone, to clear my mind. I don't know if I'm an "f" or a "t". I'm aware of peoples feelings and take them into consideration. But sometimes I just dislike dealing with that. I don't know how to comfort people and listen to their problems.
Here are things I enjoy doing:

I can't think of much else. I hope that gives you a picture of what I want in a career, and what I could do, skill wise. Right now, I'm considering doing something with marketing. Just selling products, without talking to people face to face. But I'm not a fan the subnimal messages that brands send. I don't have a problem with the whole. "we have to make money" part. Just, I wish they'd send better messages. That's not the inpact I want to make on the world. I've considered being some sort of scientist. Maybe to do with helping the enviroment. But I've always been more drawn to the liberal arts, than science. Just, what jobs can you get in liberal arts?
SO what do you think? What kind of field, major, job, should I consider looking into?

Here are things I enjoy doing:
- writing fiction (mainly fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal things) but I don't want to be a writer, as I find that I don't like to write when I put too much pressure on myself. It's more of a hobby.
- reading (probably my one true love.) I like reading fiction (fantasy, paranormal, adventure, sci-fi, mystery, romance, a bit of historical stuff), but I read text books if I have nothing else. I don't read horror though, since it tend to freak me out.
- drawing, fooling around with picture editing and such. Though I'm no expert and have little skill.
- eating when I'm bored
- watching tv shows and movies. I'm not picky and overly judgmental/critical though. It's just for fun. I watch things like (degrassi, teen wolf, pretty little liars, supernatural, suits, grimm, revenge, graceland, ) Again, you'll notice the prominent genre of fantasy, mystery and such.
- day dreaming
Things I dislike:
- spiders/bugs (just, they scare me soooo much)
- again dealing with people. Well, confrontations to be exact. I like helping people out. Its just when we get into arguements that I don't like. For example, I work at a pizza store. I'm happy being cashier, but when customers come in with complaints, I rather be in the back doing something else rather that dealing with them.
- spelling/grammar (I'm not fantastic at it, and with out spell check I'm lost. I'm better than I use to be, but I still make a lot of silly mistakes. Even when I know their mistakes.)
- doing the same thing over and over and over and over again. I like to have some variety in my work.
- detail orientated things. (I'm fine with some details. But when you have to be super exact (like get a measurement down to a dot, I get edgy cause I'm afraid I'll do it wrong.
- building things (like software, or engines, or inventions) isn't what I'm interested in. I like ABSRACT things. Using logic and my mind. I rather someone else do the labour.
What I want in a job:
- I'd like to be creative and use my imagination (by creative I mean by coming up with new ideas and such. Not like, painting, singing, and such. Cause I can't do much of that.)
- I like critical thinking
- variety (I want things to be a differnet)
- travelling ( not a requirement, but it would be great.)
- a sense of adventure (again, not a requirement, but working in an office everyday could be dull)
- I want to work with people, but also have time to myself
- a steady pay check (so I like above the poverty line, and save up to do things like sky diving, and going to europe and such)
What I don't want:
- dull office job. I'm not aginst being in an office. I just want to be able to interact with others, move around, be creative
- go against my moral (I like treating people right and being fair)
What I'm good at:
- I'm an "A" student who excels in most my classes (esp. english and science)
- I'm good at connecting the dots, and otherstanding how things work together. Also coming to conclusions after looking at the facts.
- understand how people feel
- writing, editting and such.
- communicating.
