<p>Hi, I was wondering what sort of career would entail (possible traveling)-->Not a requirement and good pay with societal interaction? not more that 8 years of school either....I want to help people & make a difference (cliche I know) but I also want to have a good paying job like 90,000+
I'm decent in school I work really hard but only have a 3.5 gpa and 27 act :(
So far I'm looking at
-dentist
-io psychologist(The only prob with this is a bachelors degree in psych is apparently worthless & I want to work while going to grad school)
Please Help? & Thank-You! :)</p>
<p>You don’t need to pick a career. You’re years away from having to pick a career. Right now, you need to do well in high school and get into a good school that offers a broad education. I guarantee that between now and the next four years you will change your prospective career several times.</p>
<p>I echo katliamom’s advice. Focus on getting a well-rounded education in high school and college now and soon enough, some career paths will peak your interest more than others. I myself didn’t know my exact postgraduate plans till the end of the senior year of college.</p>
<p>the classes you take in college and the intership possibilities will shape your career path . . . so give it time to play out </p>
<p>Let me try the reverse on you . . .</p>
<p>what classes interest you? what have been your favorite subjects? If you didn’t have to worry about any requrements what HS courses do you wish you had taken?</p>
<p>ok! thanks for all your advice I was just wondering like for a major in college?
I like reading alot and my favorite classes would have to be like a history or literature class and science classes…HATE MATH. I wish I could have take this mythology class we had at our scool…but alas, I ended up taking another ap class.</p>

<p>Very few 18-year-old have the perspective necessary to make lifelong commitments in career or relationships. And that’s as it should be.</p>
<p>I would disagree. Some people just need that sort of focus without a clear goal. I myself find it difficult to finish schoolwork that is pedestrian or unrelated to my interests/end-goals. But maybe just a general direction? You seem to be interested in a certain area. A bachelors following the pre-med distribution requirements would probably prepare you for grad school.</p>
<p>ok! Thank-You all so much for your advice! I just wish I knew what to do with my life 
I’m just the kind of person who likes plans and a set course of direction haha! :)</p>
<p>Physical therapy or occupational therapy may be of interest, although they both require graduate school. OT in particular is very compatible with a psychology undergrad.</p>
<p>thank-you!!! :)</p>
