I'm clueless on what I want to do when I graduate high school?

You have quite the "naive college applicant" mindset. Psychology (wow, I'm going to study the human mind and help people every day!!!!!), arts, game developing, writing. I've noticed that a lot of what psych majors study is honestly common sense (my two best friends are psych majors and never shut up about how they diagnosed characters on TV for their final papers).

Sure, people live without college degrees, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to find decent paying jobs without one. You may find decent paying jobs, but they're normally the ones no one else wants to do.

If you wish to go into psychology for the therapist route, just keep in mind that you'll have to go to grad school to be licensed (only a BA in psychology is pretty useless as are many other degrees). Grad school offers no financial aid and is quite expensive. I'm not trying to put down humanities/art majors, but whenever I meet one and ask them what they have planned after graduation, they all gape at me like fishes. A lot of them have been unemployed for over a year. If you really have an interest in a field that is statistically in a bad position in the job market, then make a plan for yourself. You will succeed with diligent ambition; the only problem is when little children choose majors based on fantasies and not attainable dreams.

Focus on your ACTs/SATs, but also keep thinking about your future path. People's biggest life decision often doesn't just hit them overnight.

If you don't want to go through 4 years of undergrad or if you don't necessarily want a white collar job, you can always go to trade school.

Sit down with a legal pad & start making notes. Assess yourself. Focus! What do you like to do? What subjects "grab" you at school? What do you do well in? What do you do besides school, homework? What do you care about in the world around you?

What do you really hate? What bogs you down? You like working on your own, or enjoy working on a team for, say, a project? Do your eyes glaze over when faced with something repetitive, or love examining fine details?

You've got to assess what makes you YOU! Your personality - outgoing or more reserved, quiet or "out there," scrupulously honest or "fudge" on things, pay attention to what's around or wandering aimlessly & obliviously, curious & check out something new or merely accepting? What are your skills, abilities? Find it easy to relate to other people, or lost in your own thoughts & self-absorbed? Have a knack for sketching, artwork, photography, or dance or....? Love animals, maybe your pet, or no interest.

Columns on that legal pad - likes, dislikes. Skills & ineptitudes (like two left feet), good with your hands, like "making things" or "thinking about things?" Personality traits. Character traits. As you work through your lists, your defining characteristics, interests, etc, start coming into focus.

"Do what you love, the money will follow," as author Barbara Sher says. Better to be a happy artist who learns to market themselves & make a happy, though perhaps simple, life, than to be an accountant who dreads days of adding endless numbers. A bestselling novelist, a real storyteller, can earn more than a neurosurgeon. And if you don't care about others, relate well with others, tend to get involved, be caring, etc, you'll make a lousy (& unhappy) doctor or nurse or therapist, etc. No matter how much you earn. In fact, if you only chase the money, the money will leave you!

One thing I'm gonna advise is pick a profession that isn't going to be replaced or vanish. Medical field, computers and Art will always be around and appreciated. One thing a lot of people are doing is they're getting degrees that they can take to multiple professions so they aren't limited to one. Medical professions require the full package though. The money is worth it but it takes awhile so if you don't plan starting right away there's no point because you'll be in school for around 12 years. 4 years on bachelor, another 4 on masters and then you have to spend 2-4 years in residency training for your profession. And you'll have to go back into residency if you wish to change your profession to another medical profession. Don't let the loans scare you. It is a lot but once you land a job the job will easily pay it off. But I would pick something you're happy in. It's not worth it if you're miserable in a well paying job. Then you just spend all your money trying to achieve happiness
