As a teenager in this generation, so many things are pressured onto you. If it's GSCE options (If you're English that is), career decisions or just anything in that general area, it's all forced on to you and you're expected to be able to cope with it all . Adults have been through this process already but they seem to forget the help and guidance you need throughout it. Sometime last year I had to choose my GCSE options, it was probably one of the hardest things (mentally) that I've had to do by myself; by myself I don't mean everyone left me alone and isolated until I had choose, I mean that I couldn't get someone else to help me since it was a very personal thing that's for me . Of course my parents talked with me and I always had a general idea of what career family I wanted to be in (and for all you nosy people I want to go into art), I just didn't know what options I wanted to take.
My advice for you all is this:
If you don't know what you want to do then that's completely fine and 90% of other people feel exactly the same way, choose options that don't limit you but keep your interest on your mind too - you want to be able to enjoy it as much as you want to learn from it. And for those few who know what they want to do then fantastic, but again don't limit yourself. Yes, you may enjoy something now but who says you are going to enjoy it in later life? I never want to work a day in my life, because work is something you wake up to and dread. I want to wake up and just know that for the rest of that day I'm going to be doing something I love in an amazing community.
I wish someone to gave me this advice before but we all learn from our mistakes, when I chose my options I limited it to art, design, graphics etc. I love all of them things now and I probably will when I'm older because it's my passion. However, there's always that slim possibility that I wont. Don't let yourself be stuck to one career choice, open up all your doors and take a step through each one. Don't like something? Fine. Change your career choice and you can change it again. Keep on changing it until you stop working and you start doing something you love.
