What career do you think is right for me?
What career would you think is right for me?
I'm going to start off by saying that I'm Italian so I might be making some mistakes.
I'm quite desperate because I love different things like languages, arts, communications, environment. I don't know which path is right for me, although arts speak to me more than anything else. I have a strange personality: I'm introverted and that leads me from getting away from people, although a part of me is still reaching for a connection with them. I'm also unconventional, never liked traditional jobs.
I'm a creative person, especially in the field of performative arts. I love using my imagination and coming up with ideas, working with them. To make an example. creative direction has always spoken to me but I wouldn't even know where to start and if it would be too stressful for me. On the other side, I'm also logical and rational. I like researching and learning new things.
I'm also in love with languages. I would never have a job with no languages involved, but like I said, no traditional jobs such as translator or interpreter. They're not meant for me, I find them too boring.
I like working by myself, mostly in a peaceful environment, but I also want it to be dynamic and never the same. I don't like doing the same task all the time.
There might be some industries I'm interested in, like Arts, Communications and Marketing but I don't know which one is for me, and what job would be right for me.
I found out about a lot of jobs but none of them inspires me like I want to. I would like a job that doesn't make me want to settle on good. I want to excel in what I do. Is there a job that, maybe, combines arts and languages, even if in a strange way?
Thank you for reading this, it means a lot to me.
Please, answer me.

People change as they progress in life. Something that motivates and interest you may not be the same 20 years from now. So I would say keep your mind and your eyes open. Don't get too worried about having to choose one career and thinking that you need to stick with that. As long as you're growing (more senior positions, compensation, or personal achievement), you're good.
I'm also an introverted, so I try to avoid types of work that will make me uncomfortable (sales, teacher, etc), but I also know that many jobs will require somewhat regular interaction with people. If you are in the right community, you'll enjoy it.
A translator may be boring, but I think it depends. You could work for a NGO, and travel to help people around the world. I think that type of job would be very interesting, never the same, and fulfilling.

Given you are interested in languages, arts, communication and marketing, etc., would you consider to be a writer, comics author, work in advertisement industry, etc.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Explore more on these mentioned careers and find out whether you have interest on it
2. Try to speak to someone who are working in these careers
3. Seek guidance from your mentor, school career counselor, your parents, etc.
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue
5. Explore the entry criteria of relevant subjects in the college
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

It's great you're interested in so many different fields. Something to keep in mind is that the field you start with doesn't have to be the field you stay with. Have you ever thought about getting into the research profession? Maybe as a researcher in an industry that interests you. I work with many researchers and it's a super interesting and insightful field. It's sometimes customer facing which could be good for you considering you're introverted but also do want to connect with people.
