Im a junior in High school and I'm looking at careers right now. I want a job where I can interact with people and help people. What do you think I should major in.

What did YOU major in?

Well I'm still studying but Nursing...It sounds like if you want to help people, that could be something you could look towards.

Oh, nice. Are you an LPN, RN, or niether? yea, I'm just not that good with Biology

My advice for choosing a major: 1) Choose something that will lead to you having a job/career when you're done 2) Choose something you're interested in

I was a biology major. Now a 4th year biology teacher. Long term gameplan is to hopefully get a PhD and become a principal or asst. principal.

Don't go into education if you're looking for a big salary starting out or don't like interacting with kids.

I take college classes when I can due to being in the military. I'm a third of the way done with my Political Science major.

Do you really care where I sent this from?

I'm looking at a social worker, but my mother said that she wouldn't support me I I tried to do that in college. I'm looking at Criminal Justice also

I majored in Psychology in college, then got my Master's in sport psychology. Psychology is all about helping people, but you usually have to get an advanced degree before you'll be able to make good money.

I'm curious, why wouldn't your mother help you if you went for social work? My uncle and cousin are both social workers and make decent money.
