I have no idea what i want to do in life. I have 3 years left in highschool and i want to do so many things and still live in florida. but i keep hearing my dad talk about how i wont be able to afford it. so i was thinking about moving to mexico or puerto rico. but the jobs i would want to be dont pay well in those places. For example i want to do something with kids. (daycare, nursing, etc) or I want to work for a magazine (editor, writer, etc). Also i've thought about working as a hotel manager. But i dont like the "benefits." Im not exactly sure what the question is i am asking. I just need a little advice on something im talking about. sorry if im confusing. but i am confused and im trying to explain this as easy es possible. (link)

I'm not sure why your dad is telling you that you can't afford to do the things that you want to do. If you go to college, you have a very good chance of landing a good job. Since you're in Florida, so long as you're getting good grades, there's a very good chance that your college will be paid for in full or atleast partially, with a Bright Futures Scholarship, which means you will be coming out ahead of kids who have to pay off student loans.
As far as figuring out exactly what you want to do, I would suggest talking to a guidance counselor and taking a career assesment test.
You could always major in something like Business, which would be helpful no matter what job you go into. But since you are interested in working for a magazine, why not try being a Journalism or English major?
