Top 5 in: Choosing College, Family Activities, Home Learning and Field Trips, Learning Styles, School Policy and Education IssuesTop 5 in 5 Topics		 Yep, it is about what u want to be in life. The important thing right now is just to get pointed in the right general direction and you can figure the rest out as you go.

Choose a career that you think would use your best skills, like being a doctor. Or at least choose a general field that appeals to you like medicine. You'll never have all the information you need to make a perfect decision, so just choose something right now based on what you know so far.

Then pursue that. Find out all you can about it. Asking questions of people in the field is one of the best ways to find out. Here's a career exploration tool you can use for that: Informational-Interview-Instigator-212

If it fits you'll soon know. And if it's not for you, the soooner you find that out the better. Either way you're better off aiming at one thing and adjusting course as needed than remaining undecided.

Top 5 in: Choosing College, SafetyTop 5 in 2 Topics		 Bryan's given you some great advice-- think about what you'd like to do with your life, and go from there.

If you're not sure about the kind of work you'd like to do, you can just say "I don't know" for now, and start college anyway. Most colleges will have courses everyone will have to take in English, Science, History, and other subjects. You can take those courses as you continue to think about what you'd like to do...

...and if you're still in high school, you can take some new courses there to try new things as well!

There's a lot of possibilities out there, and even if you don't have them all sorted out, college will give you time!
