I am a little skeptical of them now. Because I like the artsy kind of things, the test stated that the best job for me was a iron worker. You know the kind that are up on tall buildings. Egad. No thanks. I am not so happy to be up really high. I think you have to really analize your true loves and go with that, especially if you like video games.Julie Aguilarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17300825656116721589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448450323542078026.post-81108305718768079832009-03-15T15:19:00.000-07:002009-03-15T15:19:00.000-07:00I've also been thinking about this a lot lately.. ...I've also been thinking about this a lot lately.. and I think I would definitely have to agree with the previous two comments: follow your passion. In some instances, it doesn't have to be direct, it just has to be an occupation that allows you to re-direct that positive energy you get while your doing something you enjoy. like playing video games. <BR/><BR/>Another way to maybe find out if a career is good for you is talk to someone in the field, and ask them how they got involved. Once you find one you are interested in that is. sorry i don't really have any suggestions. Politician maybe? Chimney sweep? idk.AndrewJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174180682803348209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448450323542078026.post-30883290952863035872009-03-15T09:36:00.000-07:002009-03-15T09:36:00.000-07:00Alyssa is right - you enjoy video games, so why no...Alyssa is right - you enjoy video games, so why not make money in that idustry as a career. You may not get to be a designer (as I think you have to have some degrees in design and computer engineering), but you could still be involved in those companiesand fields.Jenny Langhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157204175762765030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448450323542078026.post-62059180460865339772009-03-15T00:24:00.000-07:002009-03-15T00:24:00.000-07:00I definitely know what you mean.

I'm also 17 and at that place where too many options meets pressure to make some important decisions. <BR/><BR/>From what it sounds like, you like video games. Why not something in the gaming industry? You could be a project manager or partner with someone to lead another company. There are a lot of people who have great ideas but need someone to really lead their business or be the communicator in the partnership. It all depends on what you really enjoy. I recommend asking someone who owns a business a bunch of questions to see if you can see yourself in their position. I don't know much about business and communications, but I think that the world needs more good communicators and leaders, so you shouldn't worry about being out-of-demand. <BR/><BR/>I hope that helps a bit. Good luck!<BR/><BR/>~Alyssa J.Knifty Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12747035650607456207noreply@blogger.com
