Too Much Pressure
- I don't know what i want to be specifically. I would like to make my family proud. All I know is that I love organizing and math is sort of my thing. But my parents want me to be something big like a lawyer or a doctor. I feel like all this pressure on me ... All I know right now is that I'll show my mom I can buy my own red Hummer H3!

Zoo Keeper
- When I'm older I would really love to be a zoo keeper. But I don't know much about it! And I'm not sure if there's jobs about for it or how much money I'd get or anything!! And to be honest, I would really only like to work with the Elephants, my favourite animal. Should I still try and be a zoo keeper or should I just go for something else???

Need help? Me too ;P
- Hi I'm 16 years old and in a program called AVID! It's a career developing program for helping high school students in Canada and USA find their dream jobs. Sadly I am still unsure of my dream job :( . The best way to find your dream job is to try some online Goverment tests or by following people with your dream job on Facebook, tumbler, google+, and more!!! I have a few people on thies sites willing to answer anything about their jobs to help me find mine!!! Also try intreviewing people in your neighborhood: grocers, banks, schools, anything! Ask them what they like and dislike about their jobs. I hope this helps! Good luck!!!! :)

I can't decide if I should do public relations, international relations... Just anything with traveling and communications. I speak 4 languages, English Spanish French and Arabic. Help?

I Don't Know!
- Hi I am 10 years old and my parents say to track what you want to be. I know I want to be a teacher or a pedriatrician. I can't chose! How do I figure this out?

Fool-Proof Plan
- It can be really hard to decide what to be. I was at a loss for words when anyone asked me about it. Until I got inspired. I found out I'm pretty good at math and organization, and I want lots of money, so... I decided to become a Pharmacist. Either that or become a History professor, or do HVAC work like my dad. I have not yet entered high school but I'm going to do a half college program during my sophmore year that will help me get to my associates by the time I graduate. Then I plan to either get an artistic or general scholarship to pay for college. If not, I am going to join the military and use that GI bill money. I feel as if I have the rest of my life planned out. I really want to retire super early and travel the world. Then maybe settle down and get married when I'm 40. Nothing but my romantic husband, our modest, satisfying home, and a life time of memories!

I'm Scared an Confused
- Hi. My name is Irsy and I'm almost 15. My parents ask me almost once a week what i want to become? And I say idk, I'm still thinking. I love sport, math, science & technology. When I was little I wanted to be scientist but then when I got older I thought it was to much work so i changed and wanted to be a programmer, but again I also want to have lots of money. My dad once told me since I'm mostly good math + IT and i have great ideas I should be an Architect, so I checked on the internet about becoming an Architect. I found out that I'm not that Creative :( so i'm seriously scared & confused! c

A High Tech Vet/Surgeon

What to Become?

Trying to Figure Out What to Be
- I'm 14. I am going into high school and I want to figure out what I want to be. I'm not sure. I thought HVAC Technician but there's no money in that. I thought Geologist and also no money. My only hope is to find a way to find myself and understand what I want to be.

Unsure
- So many options... My brother has autism, so I was considering a speech therapist, but I am not sure what the job entails. Maybe I should just be a nurse like my Mom was but I am VERY squeamish about bodily injuries. GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
- —Guest Rachel
Thinking Big
- I use to want to be a vet for animals, but once I saw some surgeries preformed, I'm pretty sure that's not something I want to do my entire life. I love science and math, but I also love to design and create. I was thinking about being a geneticist because so far that has been one of my all time favorite subjects. Help?
