LIFE MANAGEMENT.
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.

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Personal Finance?
lol, you still have time, there is no need to worry. what i would do is find a college that has many choices so that when you do decide to switch majors and stuff like that it will be easier
also, i would recommend taking electives that closly relate to your plans. this way you will be able to see if you like it and more in detail.
but dont worry, you do have three years and if you stay calm you will figure it out in time :)

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?

First, the thing you need to think about is what college you want to go too. Then, it seems like you have a common theme with the choices you do like, so I would start with going for your Associates in Communications. You have time to find out your ultimate dream job, heck, you may even decide to pursue more than one avenue and that's okay too. I would think about taking one of those test that will tell you what job would be best for you determined by the answers you give on the test. I took one in High School. Maybe, if you ask your Guidance Counsellor for more information on all the fields you are considering, the schools you are contemplating, and the job skill test, you will get a better understanding of what you want to do in life. Just remember you are still young and have a whole life of decisions you will have to make, the more you research your decisions the better you will feel about making the right decision. Good Luck!
