help i dont know what to be im gonna cry : [?

Ok, first, if you want more help, Email me at "Wushu22389@yahoo.com", i check it often and would help as much as I can.

Lets start with what you said about being a Doctor.

You need to anser a few things first about this profession, and that of a nurse.

Do you have any hours in volunteer work? If so, how many?

What is your GPA?

What colleges do you like?

Have you taken the PreSat? If so, what score did you get?

Being a Doctor, Nurse, OR Lawer, the colleges like to see volunteer work, let me explain this. Medical School and Law School are both Graduate Schools, that means you have to spend 4 years at a normal college, then 4 years at a Graduate school, then, if your a Doctor, you have to inturn for, I think 1-5 years, depending on a few different things.

I don't know much about law school, but from what I gather its the same thing. You said your going to raise everything up, but to get into a 4 year Uni, there going to want ether impressive GPA, or SAT, your choice to wich you want to have flying colors in, but the GPA should be no lower then a 2.7 for ether of these professions, a Doctor should be a 3.0 if you want to get into a good Med school.

If you want to go to Harvard Medical or something, expect to have at least a 3.5 GPA and 1400 SAT scores. AND a really deep wallet. Now, here is what I would suggest you to do.

Pull your GPA up as much as possible, if its not at a 2.5, get it there, this is average, meaning complete C's, You should strive for a 2.7 to a 3.0, meaning all B's, or close to it, thats easer said then done though.

The SAT should be a heavy focus, you have 3 times to take it, so study hard, get a few of those study books on it, read them many times, take the tests in the books, grade yourself, bust ***, then take the PreSat test. Try the ACT to, some people do better at the ACT then they do the SAT, check both out.

Get some volunteer work under your belt. Try for 1001 hours in a year, its not that much, but it is a bit, this really helps for a good college. Churches, good will's, even hospitals are a good place to volunteer at.

Get into a sport, college's like people into extra scene like things for the schools. If you get good enough at the sport, try for a scholarship, there a lot easer then people think they are to get.

The Doctor will take at least 8 years to get in school, then 1-5 years at a hospital, so 9-14 years minimum for a doctor, I think 4 years for a nurse, but I could be wronge, A Lawer is at least 8 years of schooling, a psycologist is 2 years I think, I could be wronge.

If you want to get into the medical field I woulf start as a CNA if I were you. Then I would become a EMT-B, this is a rather short course. Then, if you like it enough, move to become a EMT-P.

Just remember, there is nothing wronge with a 2 year school, you can go to a 2 year school, have a back up degree, or just get some of the class's that are madatory for the real course you want to take out of the way. A 2 year college will allow you to transfer to the 4 year college, so its up 2 you if you want to take 2 years extra time to go to a 2 year college, I think its worth it. If your interested in getting into the medical field you can become EMT certified, and nurse certified, work your way up to a doctor, just remember, extra things show up really well on Grad School.

I cannot tell you "what to be", that is a decision you have to make. From what you have said it will be very difficult to do any of the things you listed, mostly because they all require math and science, except for the lawyer. However, your problem will be getting into a decent college with such a low GPA. What I would suggest is to do some research on a local Community College and get an Associate's Degree from them. Entrance requirements are usually lower for them, but you can still get a good education and can be a nurse with an Associate's Degree. This would also give you the first 2 years of college completed and go a long way to getting you admission into a regular college as a Junior. I would suggest seeing the guidance counselor about some interest tests to see where you would do best. And really try to get math down, it is so important in every field in life.

Good Luck

it's really hard to be a doctor or lawyer; in fact, only about 10% of top students wanting to be doctors actually enter medical school. and these are students at top schools like MIT, Harvard, etc. So although it's not impossible, don't count on going into premed with those grades. Lawyer, too.

It seems like you're trying to chose a profession by how prestigious it is, how much it will make your parents proud, and how much money you'll make. Don't. You're going to be in this profession for MANY years...a few decades until you retire.... If you're a doctor, you'll be doing 8-10 hours a day for about a decade. So unless you really love it, don't make your plans yet! What do you love to do? Choose based on what you really want to do with your life, regardless of prestige or money. Can you imagine doing something you hate for 30 years just so you can live in a big house and buy a nice car? And maybe send your children to private school? What are your interests? How do you find your interests? Well...

-What classes are you doing the best in? Is it because you really like them?

-What do you like to do after school? What are some of your main extracurricular activities?

-What do you imagine yourself doing for the next 30 years of your life, 8 hours a day? You are most successful when you can't distinguish between work and play.

Furthermore, your parents will be proud of you if you try your hardest and chase what you truly love to do. If you can do better in school, then try harder; but if you can't, don't push yourself too hard. And don't do anything because of money or prestige. You'll really regret it later on!

Good luck!

Don't worry about what you want to be right now.

Right now, just focus on getting your grades up and getting into college - any college.

Most people have no idea what they want to do with their lives when they enter college, and the ones that do normally change their minds (and majors) several times before they get out.

It's okay not to know, just focus on getting into college and let your interests decide which classes you take when you get there. After that, you should be able to talk to your professors and figure out what career you are most interested in.

Doctor, nurse, and psychologist all require math to some degree because they require a lot of science courses, and science requires math. To go to medical school, you'll need to take biology, chemistry, and physics, so you at least need up to pre-calculus. Nursing doesn't require pre-calc as far as a I know, but you'll need a solid foundation in algebra. Lawyer doesn't require much math, but I think you should see how much you're able to pull up your grades before thinking about spending 7 - 10 years in college.

Good for you. You can turn it around and succeed.

You have plenty of time to decide on a career. Most college students don't decide until they are sophomores or juniors. Take as many different courses as you can and see what interests you.

You can do it. All it takes is determination.

If you like to help people consider nurse, social worker, physical thereapist, occupational therapist, speech pathologist or teacher. My main advice is to stay in college until you earn your degree. No breaks or taking time off. It's hard to go back and you'll regret not finishing.

Hi there, I know how you feel. I had no idea at school what I wanted to do, but I knew I was creative and also that I liked helping others. Because I didn't know what to do I chose a course that had a mixture of both multimedia (designing websites, video, animation etc) and marketing. Now I see that although I don't want to be a multimedia designer or marketer for consumer products, that I can use these things in a way that helps others.

E.g. marketing (paid role) in a humanitarian context for a non-profit organisation (which ultimately helps people/animals), or use my multimedia skills to work for production company that makes films/documentaries to raise important issues. Or do something completely different to my course, like to write books for children to help learn to read, but use my writing skills, creativity, marketing knowledge & designing skills in this way.

The point I'm trying to make is that the skills, knowledge & experience you get from any course/work you decide on, can be used later on down the track or combined into a different field of work :)

Here's a few ideas based on what you've said about helping people:

* social worker

* careers counselor (at a school, university or private practice to help people who are in similar situations as you are in now :))

* art therapist (help people express themselves and emotions through art/visual means - form of psychotherapy).

* community development (can be in your home country for an organisation that helps communities or international like working for a humanitarian organisation to plan how to develop communities overseas in need, this definitely helps people & changes lives)

* radio host or producer

* yoga instructor - helps people to be healthier physically, emotionally & spiritually, talking whole time as instruct class.

* Personal trainer (helping people and talking one on one)

* teacher - kinder, primary, high school in an area you are interested in (art, psychology, teaching a language etc)

* nurse

* lawyer

*psychologist

* doctor

* vet

* speech pathologist

* policewoman/detective/investigator

* Teach English as a language overseas or to people recently moved to your country who need help.

* Public relations

* Journalist

* Travel tour guide (study tourism etc)

* Event coordinator

* Forensic psychologist

* Sports psychologist

* Real estate - helping people to find a house right for them

* Occupational therapy / Rehabilitation - helping people with injuries/after accidents/illness

* Physiotherapist

Here's my tips:

Look at possibilities that relate to your interests and passions in some roundabout way, because if you like what you study or the job, and that helps others then your work will be meaningful to you.

Create the life you want to create, rather than just on what others think you should be or jobs that seem prestigious or to make people proud. Because it is your life and nobody elses :) If you are proud of yourself then this is the main thing and people close to you I'm sure will be proud no matter what you do :) It's fantastic that you want to help others, and there are many career paths/work you can choose or combine which can help people in different ways.

It's ok not to know exactly what you want to do, many people feel the same as you. Also remember the course you decide on, it is not set in concrete or mean you have to 'be that' for the rest of your life. Some people also take a year after school finishes to work or volunteer abroad or travel to understand more about themselves and what they are interested in, then return to study knowing a bit more about what they might like to follow.

Hope this helps a little :)

Nursing is a good possiblity.
