Dear Barry,
Just like the previous responses to your query, I too would urge you to invest your time in discovering more about your interests and the kind of work you would love to do. It's crucial that you reach out to your school's guidance offices and conduct your own research. This should include taking career and personality assessments, and make sure to incorporate O*NET into your research. I believe you already have some understanding based on your personal experiences, but this process will offer you a wider range of choices and alternatives to contemplate. Ideally, identifying and then chasing after the activities and work that you would enjoy doing, and that align best with your skills, aptitude, and personality, will enhance your chances of achieving career and job satisfaction and fulfillment.
Best regards,
Tony

Finding a job you love can be an exciting journey! Start by exploring your interests and hobbies—what excites you? Consider volunteering or internships to gain hands-on experience in different fields. Networking is also valuable; talk to people in various careers to learn about their paths. Take personality or career assessments to discover your strengths. Finally, stay open-minded! Your passions may evolve over time. Trust yourself, and remember, it’s okay not to have it all figured out yet. You’ve got time!
Thanks, can't wait to put this advice into action!

Research jobs and your "fit" and interests in different ones using tools such as the Occupational Outlook Handbook published by the US govt. (available in hard copy and as a website), https://www.mynextmove.org/, Naviance (if your school has it, not available at home), and https://www.assessment.com/ .
Talk to your guidance counselor for help.
