Some help about future stuff?

Ok, so basically i'm 16 and don't have a clue about what i want to be when i'm older (i don't think i should, i'm only 16!) anyway people keep asking me and when i tell them i've no idea they seem a little annoyed at me, all i know is I don't want to stay in England i want to move to the USA or Austrailia or somewhere. Basically i'd like some advice on how i could chose a job, is there a site where you say what you like and they give you some options? Thanks Guys :)

Update:

I completely dissagree with the idea of not being selfish with your life. Help people as much as you can but you've been given a gift, use it EXACTLY how you want to!

UK is ugly so hopefully when i'm older i'll move

    I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life when I was in high school. The degree and career path I wanted wasn't supported by those around me. granted the industry I wanted to work in doesn't exist in my country so I'd definitely have to live abroad for a long long time. I didn't end up getting the support , nor the money to pursue my goal , so i ended up taking Business Administration just as a survival choice. did i make the right move? too early to tell. but you're always going to think "what if" if you don't go for it.

    You have to figure out what you want to do with your life early on. even more so in the UK , since you finish high school between 16 and 17. what are your strengths? weaknesses? if you're a good communicator you might do well pursuing a PR or Marketing career. If you're a great artist and a whiz with a computer you can look into graphic design or video game development. If you hate numbers-- avoid getting an Accounting degree. to some extent we have to love what we do to be good at it , but sometimes we're really good at things we do and the jobs these skills help us land, but ultimately we feel indifferent about them. So maybe your major motivation is money and not career. either way you need to sit down , grab a notebook , brainstorm and figure yourself out.

    OK...first of all, why do you not wanna be in UK...many people go to UK to study, it has one of the best universities in the world and you want to leave it! That doesn't make any sense. You have great possibilities in front of you. so first figure out what you like and are interested in and don't forget to NOT make it selfish. Think of something which you like and can help the people you love. So you'll be doing something you love and for the people you love! That's when you can easily say: "I love what I do" or "I do what I love" both ways.
