Anthony’s Answer
If respect is your strength, the military offers a career that values it highly. However, it's not for everyone. If you enjoy making videos as a hobby, consider a career in video editing. I know people who have earned money by editing videos for YouTube and designing stream layouts. It could be a great path for you!

Hi Jayden , this is a great question. Respect can take you a long way in any career field that you choose. If your hobbies are making videos that can also be useful in many career fields. I advise that you start looking at careers that can provide you with the lifestyle that you want/ value. Whether you focus on earning potential, flexibility, travel , stability, etc but always incorporate respect and your passions into whatever you decide to choose that way any career will feel fulfilling to you.

Hey Jayden, here's a friendly tip: start learning how to program AI. Try out free versions of AiOpen, Gemini, and similar tools. You can create videos and photos, analyze statistics, stay updated with the news, and even explore investment opinions. Get into AI!

I'm glad you're asking these questions, Jayden. Keep asking adults -- those who have been where you haven't been yet -- for insight and advice. I like the answers that have been provided so far. I would add a couple of thoughts:
1-Try stuff out -- Maybe be a volunteer at a videographer's workshop, or volunteer to move sets for a wedding videographer, or watch YouTube videos about what it's like to be a videographer. Get to know videographers, even if it's just online. Do whatever you can to get your foot in the door, and to learn from videographers. You might find that you don't really like it, but you might find out that you LOVE it.
2-What are your strengths? How can you contribute to this world with the strengths that you were born with? What can you do as well or better than most other people. In summary, it's important to be in a career that we enjoy, but it's just as important to be in a career wherein we can contribute to society because this world needs you to magnify your strengths (in addition to enjoying your job). This world needs you!
Your respect will help you succeed at whatever you try out. It's like a turbo booster to your strengths. It helps no matter what you're doing.
