Hi Phoebe,
With your natural interests in biology and animals, and the dislike for office work, consider options like a pet groomer/trainer or a veterinarian. To start exploring the paths, apply for part-time jobs in pet stores or volunteer for animal shelters. Get a feel of those jobs and see if they are something you’d like doing for a long time. If yes, go on to invest into professional training to further your career.
Good luck!

Hi Phoebe!
I think there's plenty of options that can match with your affinity for animals, biology, and the craziness of the human mind. I guess it kind of depends if you looking for a job as a HS student or looking to your future career.
In terms of long term career, there's plenty of college majors which would match your likes. Biology pops-up first due to dissection and the fish farming aspect. Biologist won't be stuck in a office, but maybe in a lab. But you doesn't love wearing a lab coat and feeling all smart right?
Another option could be Zoology or Animal Science. Veterinarian or Veterinarian Technician are also options. I know a girl who majored in Marine Biology and loved it. Overall, you'd be shocked at how many animal-oriented careers are out there.
Finally, regarding the human mind Psychology would be the obvious choice. Though if you really want to make this career work you'd probably would end up having to get a masters as well, since to practice as a counselor, a Clinical Psychologist, or get a license you need a graduate degree. This career is broad and opens the door to working with adults, children, couples, mentally-ill individuals, kids with autism, and many more depending on your specialization.
Overall, I think you should just try doing some reading into the opportunities out there and don't be afraid to reach out to people working in those areas so you can ask questions and get the real answers, not what google wants you to see. Good luck!

Hi Phoebe! Wow, that's great! I can just guess your career path! Just start inquiring about whatever gives you such happiness and pleasure!
You can opt to study in one of these jobs which procure you excitement and pride! Do more research about these and continue learning until you see clearly what you can do and take as a job career! As you hate working in an office, it is advisable to start prioritizing these jobs which are aloof the office: caring for animals for instance!
Good luck Phoebe!
