I suggest reading a book called "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". It will teach you about how to build wealth.
You don't necessarily need to be a high academic achiever or have particular set of talents to be financially successful. And you don't necessarily need a lot of money to be happy. **
What you do need is a willingness to set a specific goal or goals for yourself, and do everything you can to get to those goals. Start with something that will be 1) an INVESTMENT that you can turn into another investment, and 2) decently ambitious. You might set a goal to pay for a laptop for work or school, or maybe you want to pay for a technical program in music production.
DO things every day to work toward your goals. I make lists for myself. Small things add up. Look for other people who can teach you. Seek out new experiences. Experience is the FASTEST way to learn, but it can be a hard teacher. You might fail, you might be stressed, disappointed, sweaty, over-caffeinated, and told "no" 300 times. Fail, learn, start again. Find your inner drive, and push yourself every day towards your goal.
Remember this is YOUR thing. Not anyone else's. You are doing this for your happiness. You deserve to invest in that.
**A certain amount of money can buy stability, safety, and independence, and there is comfort in that.

some steps you can take to gain clarity and identify a career that aligns with your skills, interests, and goals:
Self-reflection:
Assess your interests: Consider the subjects, activities, or topics that genuinely excite and engage you. Reflect on your hobbies, extracurricular activities, and any patterns you notice in your passions.
Identify your skills: Evaluate your natural abilities and strengths. What are you good at? What skills do you enjoy using or developing? Consider both technical and soft skills.
Determine your values: Reflect on your core values and the things that matter most to you. What kind of work environment, causes, or contributions align with your values?
Explore your personality: Consider your personality traits and how they might impact your career preferences. Are you introverted or extroverted? Do you prefer working independently or in a team?
Research:
Explore career options: Research various careers and industries that align with your interests and skills. Learn about the job responsibilities, required qualifications, salary ranges, and growth prospects for different roles.
Informational interviews: Reach out to professionals working in fields that interest you. Conduct informational interviews to gain insights into their career paths, daily responsibilities, and the pros and cons of their chosen professions.
Gain practical experience:
Internships or part-time jobs: Seek opportunities to gain hands-on experience in fields of interest. Internships, part-time jobs, or volunteering can provide valuable exposure and help you understand the realities of different careers.
Job shadowing: Shadow professionals in fields you are considering to get a firsthand glimpse of their work. This can help you determine if the day-to-day tasks align with your expectations.
Networking and mentorship:
Connect with professionals: Build a network of professionals in your desired field through networking events, social media platforms, or professional organizations. Engaging with experienced individuals can provide insights and guidance.
Seek mentorship: Find a mentor who can offer guidance and advice based on their own career experiences. Mentors can provide valuable perspectives and help you navigate your career decisions.
Experiment and learn:
Take courses or workshops: Enroll in courses or workshops that allow you to explore different subjects or industries of interest. This can help you gain new knowledge and insights that may influence your career choices.
Side projects and hobbies: Engage in side projects or hobbies that allow you to develop new skills or explore areas outside your immediate expertise. This can help broaden your horizons and uncover hidden passions.
Reflect and iterate:
Continuously reassess: Regularly reflect on your experiences, new insights, and evolving interests. Career decisions can change over time, and it's important to stay open-minded and adapt as you learn more about yourself.
Remember, choosing a career is a process, and it may involve trial and error. Be patient with yourself, seek guidance from professionals, and trust your instincts. It's okay to explore different paths and make adjustments along the way to find the career that is the best fit for you.
