Hi, I’m in the 11th grade and I soon have to figure out what I want to do. I will tell you my personality and what I’m like and you can tell me what job would suit me best.
I’m very nice, outgoing, playful, honest, trustworthy.
Some jobs that I am interested in is well I sort of want be an entreprenuer.
I love pets, kids, cooking, computers and haircutting.
The only thing I really don’t want to do is deal with people and I know that’s really hard to find a job that you don’t work with people but…I’ll work with kids definitely. thanks guys.

You have a wide range of interests, which is great. You got a lot of options with what you love and you know of what you don’t like too.
As you said, not working with people will make any job difficult to find. Even working with kids, you still deal with people. Ok, my guess is you don’t want to deal with adults when you refer to “people”.
Pets, kids, cooking, computers and haircut involves people at some point. You can get around it not to deal with them direct most of the time, when choosing pets and computers. Also when specializing in cooking for kids or pets and kids haircut or pets haircut.
If that is what you want, go and give it a try. Best is to go to a local business and ask if they need some help. Interview them about the job you want to learn and do. If possible work on weekends or vacation to get an inside, before you make the final decision.
Still I encourage you to overcome your “don’t want to deal with people”. Find out why you don’t like it and try to over come it on your own or with some help. Why? Because if you are able to “deal with people” with self confidence – and it does not need to be a lot – you got a much wide range of job opportunities.

You might consider working in a veterinarian office or a boarding house for animals.
Another choice might be a day care center but you would have to interact with the parents.
As you gain experience you will overcome your dislike for direct contact with people. I was the same way and now I enjoy the interaction.

Although U have enough time to identify your interest… but in case if you love computer, then u could also think of being a IT professional, it pays good

My guess is computers also,a lot of company’s allow you to work from your home ,and you can always work part time with animals.

Don’t be so hard on yourself to know at a young age what you want to do when you’re older because things will change along your path. It’s good to have a long term goal but be flexible because as you attend college, you may find yourself pursuing new avenues as a major. Almost every job will require you to work with people except for perhaps being a mattress tester. Why not talk to people in the industries you are considering: teachers, dog trainers, chefs, computer professionals, etc. as to the pros and cons of their jobs. People love to talk about themselves and you can get the inside scoop before you make that final decision of what course of study to pursue in the years and decades ahead.

My best advice to you is to always try new and exciting opportunities that come your way.. Through life you start to evolve and you will eventually mold into the career that fits your personality.. because if you don’t – trust me – you will leave the jobs that don’t fit! I have tried several opportunities myself- learning alot on the way. I love telecom/internet stuff (did sales positions for major cell phone and internet providers throughout California)The best opportunity was getting into an internet telecom business that was FREE to join.Ongoing support/training – you do not have to know anything going into it! I have been in it for 6 years AND STILL LEARNING! (not a get rich quick thing) only reliable well known name brand service providers that offer the same great “deals” (if not better!) as walking into a store. Here is the website: http://www.GetTelecomServices.com (click on “Affilliates” at bottom of homepage to join -remember it is free and your website is created immediately, there is no risk of trying it out) Check it out .. email me if you want – I am happy to help! Good luck on your endeavors!
PS: STAY IN SCHOOL and CONTINUE YOUR EDUCATION(COLLEGE) – with that – you will have so many opportunities open to you!
