I feel so lost. Does anyone have an idea of the career path I should follow?

<p>(I'm 16.) My life seems to be consistently dictated by fiction, particularly television series and movies. It's not so much of the media that I find alluring, but a sense of connection I develop towards the characters. I love maturing and navigating through life 'with' them, if only for the comfort that coincides with knowing they will ALWAYS be there. Whenever I struggle to balance on a fine wire, there will always be someone to remain unwavering. I am terrified to lose that security, so I subconsciously fuse the characters' lives into numerous aspects of my own.</p>

<p>My favorite pastime involves creatively expressing my adoration through writing, reading, listening to relatable music, and watching (sometimes editing) visual media. I LOVE to analyze the characters' lives; motivations; thoughts, by delving into their universe. Nothing makes me happier than involving myself with the movie/character. That is my passion. It's what constantly consumes my thoughts, what I'm talented at, and - dare I say - what I live for. </p>

<p>I've heard that I could channel this through writing, but I don't have enough creativity or originality to write. Although I'm always extremely proud of my work, it involves characters and constraints of a universe created by someone else.</p>

<p>What do I do? How can I translate this type of passion into a career?
Thank you for your time - I genuinely appreciate your help.</p>

<p>I don’t know specifically for you, but do you have the opportunity to try the Morrisby profile testing? I know a few people who have done it and they said it was really good at helping them look at potential careers to suit them.</p>

<p>You could do the Jungian Test for free online. It allows you to see what you fall under and gives a general list of careers that usually go with your personality. I’m an ISTJ btw, but I feel you would be under a more creative group. :)</p>

<p>Based on the description you provided it appears as if something involving analytical and detail-oriented processes (yet, has emotional foundations) would be in your best interest; with regard to securing a joyful and productive life. </p>

<p>Psychology could potentially equip you with the tools for gaining a greater understanding of chronicled characters and the motives that influence their daily actions. History could give you a glimpse of these celebrated and oftentimes feared historical personalities. Philosophy could assist you evaluating methodologies regarding the greater moral concerns behind the activities of human beings.</p>
