What are jobs that allow me to help people?
Nothing makes me happier than helping others. My parents really want me to become a nurse of doctor, and I would love to for the sake of helping others, but I feel that I would rather appeal to their emotions and their sense of self-worth rather than their health. (Is this terrible of me?)
What jobs are out there that will allow me to preach to young people why they should love themselves, and how to not take anything for granted? Small jobs and stable ones.. I can always do this alongside a job that supports income a bit more.
Thanks so much!! <3

Young people with any brains don't like being "preached" to. They like to have conversations, not be told what to do and what to believe, unless they are totally brainwashed or damaged.
If you want to help children and teens handle their lives, you look into being a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist. This allows you to actually help individual people, not just preach to the indoctrinated masses with armchair pop psychology garbage.
If you just need to be needed, or need to manipulate people, then you seek mental counseling and look at volunteering your time for at-risk youths at a community center. Maybe you man a suicide hotline. Maybe you do a big brother/big sister program.
Good Luck

Maybe a pastor or a Sunday school teacher! You can teach young people about God and teach them to open their hearts to everyone.
