What does everybody do for a living?!?

Im 16 and a junior in high school. I am really trying to figure out what i wanna do for the rest of my life, but im having troubles finding something that i am intereted in doing. Right now i am either gonna be a pharmacist, a physicians assistant, police officer, or a teacher. I know there are more jobs out there and i would appreciate it if you would tell me what your job is and what you do during your job.
Thanks a bunch!

What do you enjoy doing?

Do what you love. If you're just going to be doing some job for the money you'll be miserable. (If you want to make a lot of money, marry into it (becuase that's the only reason to marry)). (settle down chris)

USAF, Aircraft Communications and Navigations Systems Craftsman. Depending on your money situation the military can be a great experience and next to free college and don't forget the GI Bill. With the way things are I'd recommend Air Force or Navy. That is if you can handle listening, following, and when it's time, leading.

Im in the Air Force. I fly around in a B-52 all day and it is the best job in the world. I wouldnt trade it for anything. You need to find a job that you look forward to getting up and going to in the morning.

Graduate School baby!!
Got a BSBA in Business Management in Dec. '06 from Central Missouri State University; now im at Mississippi State University (GO DAWGS!!!) working on my MBA.
Right now, all I do is lift weights, play rugby, class, and work at the lumber store.

Best piece of advice on here is what has been mentioned...FIND WHAT YOU ENJOY; don't chase the money. If you want 6 figures in business, plan on going to grad school right away...trust me, been there done that. I thought I wanted to be a project manager for a big commercial construction company, and I still might one day, who knows. For now, Im going the more 'professional' route.

Man, 16 seems like it was yesterday....seriously

I am a pharmacist. It is a good job with good pay. I do have to work later hours often, but generally my week never exceeds 40 hours. If you are looking for a job where you are in high demand, this would be a good one for you.
