Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
Of course, one main way is the money. Which one can make you the most money. But, it has to be something you enjoy. My advice;
Write down all your interests that could be associated with a job. Search jobs related to each of the interests. Explore these jobs a bit more and pick a few you think you could see yourself doing for many years. Apply.
I hope this helps you and I hope you find a job that will last you many happy years.
Good Luck (:

Since I am old enough to be your grandfather I am going to give you advice that a grandparent might give.
Many people chose a career path based on how much money they can earn. This is not the best way to chose your life's work. There is an old saying "Money cannot buy happiness", this is very true. You may be able to earn all the money you will ever need and still be miserable.
So the first thing you have to do is remember it is your life and you are the one that has to be happy. Yes mom, dad and others in your life will want the best for you and attempt to steer you to the higher paying career fields, doctors, lawyer and so forth. These career fields pay well and some pay extremely well. Question is will you be happy. You may want to be a cop or firefighter/Paramedic. Both are very honorable jobs and pay well and if your happy doing them that is what counts.
I would suggest you see your high school guidance counselor to see if your school offers career testing. This test along with your own knowledge of what you like and dislike will help you decide a career path you might wish to follow and what if any college courses to take.
I spent my entire career in sales to the construction industry. During that time I watched the industry mature and grow to the point that Electricians, Plumbers, Carpenters and most other skilled craft trades had to become licensed. Both union and non-union apprentice ship programs were put in place to train men and women to achieve the goal of being licensed in their trade. Each one of these programs are the equivalent of a four year college degree, and sponsored educationally through the local community colleges.
I say this to you for should you want to follow a trades man career there is nothing wrong with this. Any job that provides an honest dollar for an honest days work is a good job. If you are happy doing that job, it is a great job. If you excel doing this work, it is an excellent job.
Even flipping hamburgers at the local burger place is a good job. Many of the chain restaurants promote from within. I know of several restaurant managers for a number of the chain restaurants who started out asking "do you wanted to super size that order" who are now managers and owners of restaurants making good to great earnings. In these restaurants promotion from within is the rule rather than the exception.
I don't know you so I cannot tell exactly what you should be doing. I can only point you in a direction along with advice and explanations of why that advice is valuable. So start with testing through your guidance counselor and your own knowledge of your likes and dislikes. What your good at and not so good at. Then build on that.
Good luck.

you should try going to a few colleges and take a personality test this helps a lot in deciding what you want to become because they give you results in helping you choose a career that best suits your personality and you should remember that never just choose something because the money is big well unless you would like doing it because the career that you choose is what you would spend the rest of your life doing and if you do somethinng you don't enjoy you would never be good at your job
best of luck

Just stop what you are doing and listen hun. Breathe in and then out. Then picture school. Do you like it? If so, what do you like about it? What's your favorite subject? If you do like school and have a favorite subject, look further into careers that use the subject you love most. If you do like school, but you don't have a favorite class, you probably just love being with your friends and seeing them everyday, the socially things ;p Anyways, if that's how you are like then you might want to look into something having to do with being social. like an interior designer, a wedding planner, a publicist ( you get to meet mannnnny celebrities). If you are confused with those questions i just asked you, then repeat the top. Just stop what you are doing and listen. Breathe in and then out. Is it money that is causing you this stress? Are you concerned with being rich and having enough money to buy the things you want in life? Then listen to this. Money doesn't make everyone happy.. Doing something you love everyday is much more pleasing. Besides, if you truly love what you are doing and you are trying your best with it, odds are, you will become more successful than a local doctor or lawyer! Think outside of the box. Not EVERY job is related to school. How about acting? Make up? Singing? Fashion? Artist? Chef? Producer? Director? Editing? Graphic Design? Photography? All of those careers, yes do need some skill. BUT if it's what you truly love and you wouldn't mind doing it everyday, you will make it big. And once you make it big with those jobs.... Trust me, you make it BIG. So never give up your dreams and follow your heart. Choose whatever you will love waking up to every morning, please your heart. Overall, please God. Thank you hope i helped hun (:
