When I was a senior in high school, I went to my local community college and asked them for help deciding on a career path or a major. They gave me this test on the computer that measures many different skill and preference levels. Afterwards, a guidance counselor went over it with me. She suggested that I might like being a teacher, lawyer, or librarian. So my first year in college, I took and education class, a law class, and a library science class. I read everything I could about all three of them. By the end of my first semester, I knew exactly what I wanted.

I recommend trying something similar. Try calling the nearest college and asking if they have a similar test. It really helped. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) has good basic career resources, you might want to try their career quiz.

You sound like you have similar interests to me. You say you like kids, helping people, and you seem to be doing good in school. You might consider being a tutor for exceptionally smart children, or a child psychologist. Since you say you want to earn well, you may want to consider psychology.

Most colleges recommed remaining undeclared for you first year. For your first year; relax, study a little bit of everything, and work closely with your counselors to find what you believe is best for you.

I hope that helped!
