I'm only a sophomore in high school, but I'm terrified. My parents really want me to be a doctor, and I just know that I can't be one. I just don't WANT to. I have no motivation to pursue that career. Maybe something else in medicine..I don't know. I know I wouldn't make it through medical school since I have no interest in it. The worst part is that I don't know what job I DO want. It has to be just as well paid and regarded, for my parents to accept it. The thought honestly brings me to tears, I don't want to be a disappointment, and I want to just do what my parents want, but at the same time, I know it's my life, my choice, and my effort. However, maybe I'm too young. Do I still have time to figure this out? I feel like all my friends know what they want to do. Your job is the majority of your life, and I don't want to spend it on something I don't enjoy :/
I guess, an orthodontist sounds interesting, as well as a career in neuroscience. But I don't know. It needs to be a secure, high-paying job, with a good reputation.
I just feel so lost.
