What would a good career path for me be?

I'm only 15, so it's natural that I would think about my future.

For a while, I had it set in my mind that I would become a priest, because it seems as though that is what makes the most sense.

On the other hand, I figured that I should probably have a back-up plan in the event that I do not become a priest. There's a girl who has an awesome personality and seems to be so pretty; she's the only girl that I have ever been very attracted to. I went out with her two different times, and I honestly keep trying to shake her out of my mind. I'm definitely not expecting to marry her or anything, but her sheer presence makes it seem to make sense for me to have a back-up plan. She is also one of my closest friends.

Right now, my classes are, for the most part, designed towards becoming a priest, even though I attend a public school.

I figure I can just put out the classes that I'm gonna take so that it would be easier to give a decent reply.

Sophomore year I'm taking:

AP Statistics

AP U.S. History

Hon Pre-Calculus w/ Discrete

Latin III

Spanish III

Hon English 10

Hon Chemistry

Junior Year:

AP Calculus AB

AP Macro+Micro Econ

AP Literature

AP Chemistry

Spanish IV

Latin IV

Film/Video (arts credit)

Senior:

AP Calculus BC

AP Spanish

AP Composition

Latin V

AP Government

In case you can't tell, my strengths are foreign language and mathematics. If you could suggest suitable careers, that would be great.

I already posted this once, but it really didn't seem like it was in the right section or whatever.

    A couple of ideas here:

    Teaching - Naturally since a priest is a teacher, and math and languages are always in need of teachers (my brother teaches foreign languages in school and it is quite in demand)

    Interpretation/Translation - I am bi-lingual in Spanish and the nice part is that when I started interpreting and translating, it opened many doors because I could go into any field as long as I could translate and interpret, and it allowed me to see different fields and areas, as well as strengthened my knowledge in many areas so that I could narrow my focus better

    Statistician - this is a broad area, but may be something to consider. If you are good at math, any stats, finance, business or accounting might be a good match since all of these can lead to some great careers in just about any business that exists
