Hi Cynthia, this is a great time to start thinking about what you would like to do in terms of a career. There are so many different professions that will give you the opportunity to be helpful to others. Now is the ideal time for you to explore volunteer opportunities that give you an opportunity help others in many different ways. This may include volunteer reading with children at a children's hospital or the library. You may also want to consider volunteering at a food kitchen or maybe even volunteering at a nursing home. Explore what interest you the most and dig in.
Hi Cynthia! I am also in 11th grade and interested in a career that helped others, I was thinking of becoming a pediatrician, vet, etc but finally found dentistry. You can look at many jobs through the internet or like what I did I looked around the area where I lived. I went to hospitals, dental offices, drive around where I live to see what kinds of jobs everyone had and see if I really wanted to do that. Also you can search through your family members. Join classes like for example child Guidance, med term, or you can simply ask all your friends for their thoughts on the future.

How exciting! If your high school provides options for different intro level business courses, accounting courses, or advanced classes in the science classes, i would take advantage of these options so that you can see what interests you the most! It's important to see which subjects you enjoy the most because you're degree with be several years of these topics. In your senior year, try all sorts of classes that you can like accounting, computer science, and see what you like and what you don't like!

Helping others is always commendable. There are many ways you can help others, it all depends on how you approach it. I have been in sales all my life and I consider what I do as helping others. I help business customers solve business problems. By showing compassion, listening and understanding the customer see you as part of their team. I originally started college with a plan to become a teacher because I wanted to help others. Keep your options open and over the next couple years trying working in specific areas that are of interest to you. That will help you determine if they are right for you.

Hi Cynthia! There are many professions that are service oriented. Teachers, Social Workers, Grant Writers, Nurses, Public Service, Counselors, and Charity Work to name a few. You would need to decide whether you want to work on the clinical side, for a non-profit, behind a desk or in a classroom should you decide to go the route of some of those mentioned above. You may want to job shadow or volunteer to see if one of these is right for you. Once you find something that makes you happy then look for an educational institution that will help you get there. Good Luck! Hope this helps!
