Don't know what I want to do.
I'm only a freshman in high school, but today in school we got a paper to fill out what classes we're thinking of taking sophomore year. Right now I'm taking commercial design, which is an art elective, and I need to take a business or career one or something. Well, I want to take an elective that will benefit to what I want to become later. The one's that I'm into are digital photography/printmaking (that's also an art elective though so idk if I should do it until I get the other ones out of the way). I've always wanted to be a teacher, maybe an English or kindergarden/younger grades teacher, but my friends are like... you're smarter than that. Well anyway, things I'm into are: art/photography, I'm good at English (mainly writing), I love little kids... I don't know! I'm just so confused. I was thinking like a magazine editor or something along those lines. But how hard is it to get a job like that? I know I'm only a freshman, but before I know it, I'll have to be making a decision. Like I don't even know what colleges I wanna go to, like what's out there. I wanna make a decision that's right for me. Soo sorry it was extremely long. Thanks so much. =]

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
It's like this. Pick a career you will love. Plain and simple. Don't settle for second best, because this is the rest of your life you're talking about. Don't leave room later in life for what ifs.
I don't think you should listen to your friends who say you are too smart to be a teacher. The smart ones should be the only ones, my dear.
Is that what you would really like to do? I think it is a fine choice. We need more teachers, there are a lot of students out there and many more to come.
I would rather have you teaching my children since you love kids and you are smart, than having some one who isn't smart and is just doing it because it is a job.
If you love kids, and want to teach them because you will love to do it, then you will be a fine kindergarten teacher. Or whichever grade you prefer.
That doesn't mean you can't fill the rest of your time with art, photography, and writing. You will have most of summer free to do as you wish.
Then you have a fun career that you absolutely love, and time to do all the fun hobbies that you love as well.
