Well im only 15, but im thinking of what i want to do with the rest of my life, i dont expect to live rich but i do dream of living with a good amount of money to spare, I was thinking of becoming a teacher, it looks so fun, i wanna be the chill teacher that everyone loves, but teachers, especially beginning teachers dont make good money IMO, around 20-25k a year, IMO i dont think i can be happy with that type of income, i want to be able to have the nice things in life. What careers do you think pays good and isnt so hard to acheive? 4 year university is cool, dont tell me surgeon and ****, i dont wanna spend half my life in med school.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

dude, right now I am also in the same situation as you. I am also doing some soulsearching to see what I want in life. So far, my best bet to you is to improve yourself in every way you can. This means, socially, health and financial intelligence. Career choices will expand when you become a well-rounded person. This is what I am doing right now. A career choice will come along the way if you look for it. And a career that pays good that isn't hard to achieve? Forget it... everything takes hardwork and perseverance.

The average American will change careers something like seven times over a lifetime, that number goes up constantly. Whatever you think you want to be, when you finally decide, it will probably change several times after that.
My advice is to concentrate on doing what opens the most doors for you. Right now that is school. You have SATs coming up, too. That test can change your life. I'm in the midwest, and we take the ACT instead of the SAT. I studied like crazy for the test. I was the only one I knew who did. But studying got me a 31, which is in the top couple percentiles. Later I used that score to get one scholarship to go to the local state school for free and the next year won a scholarship to go to school in Florida for free. It was like winning a three-year Florida vacation. Academics opens doors.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

um. since im assuming from your question you want others to tell you what you should do... you would love working for someone.
or you can decide what interests you throughout high school... and decide as time goes on.

If I had a kid and he was asking me on advice for what he should be, I would tell him to figure out something he is naturally good at, and use that talent to start a business or service. You will never get wealthy workin' for the man.
