SHOULD YOU FOLLOW YOUR PASSION OR GO FOR A STABLE JOB?
Hi. I am a 10th standard cbse student in India. I like History and Geography and Social Science subjects in general. But as expected, my parents are worried. They want me to study science and maths, two subjects I despise or computer. I can't imagine handling someone's life as a doctor and can't even think about studying physics and maths for engineering.I really want to follow my passion. I don't have my entire life planned out to give them a proper speech and I don't think that's possible because life is unpredictable. I also think that I do way better in Social Science than in science or maths. I get 78-80 marks out of 80 for social science but for science and maths I only get around 50-68. I am really tired of getting lectured non stop. I get it that they want me to have a stable life but it's draining my hope in life. I am an only child and don't have anyone to share this with because pretty sure my Bestfriend is tired of my trauma dumping. I hope someone can provide me with support and advice here. I know my parents are just worried about and I feel guilty about sharing this here but I really don't have a choice. Note: My parents are nice but I think they are just worried and disappointed lol.

What are easier ways of studying if you get easily distracted ?
I have experienced trouble with things such as staying on task, focusing, and remaining in one specific place when studying or doing assignments. No matter how clean a room is or empty I end up focusing on such small detail about the room or just lose focus quickly and want to move or go somewhere else. The only thing that I have found to work is studying in the dark as I can't see distractions around me and as long as there's no noise I'm fine. Though this has lead to my eyes becoming strained and red as I'm trying to see my work in the dark. My mom has suggested doing things such as getting evaluated to see if there are things that can help me but I have been unwilling as I feel as it's just a fact that I can't focus but I don't know what to do.

Can you help me find a suitable career?
I am confused about choosing between Creative & Design-Oriented Careers and Analytical & Data-Oriented Careers. As a high school graduate, I was completely unsure of what to pursue, so I opted for a CS major. Later, I realized I have no interest in Java, C++, or Operating Systems. However, if I were forced to choose my favorite programming languages after three years, they would be R and Python. My favorite subjects remain Statistics and Math. Here are a few things about me: 1. I have been good with numbers since childhood. 2. I am naturally good at drawing, with a steadier hand than most people I’ve seen sketching or drawing. I’ve never put effort into improving my drawing skills, yet I am better at it than most. 3. I love creating spaces. Although I am not an architect, I constantly think about how I would design a building, house, or neighborhood if I were one. I want to follow my passion, but I also want to earn a handsome income. My current path doesn’t feel right to me—it’s like I’m just trying to fit in, and I never feel motivated to work hard for it. I don’t know where to start or what skills to learn that would complement my future career goals. People often advise me to learn skills and excel at them, but I’m not sure which skills align with my interests and aspirations.

What education and major would I have to do to work in Child Protective Services?
I have always wanted to work with kids and though some might not see this as a good way to I like the idea that I would be able to help children with my work. I have researched social work and have picked to either become a social worker at a school or hospitality or work for CPS. Though I know some might say it does take an emotional toll on some I also don't want to just teach kids but also help them with other problems such as ones that may occur in this line of work. Overall I really just want to know if either of these two careers are majorly different when it comes to education and other factors such as pay, work load, hours and more.
What do I major in if I want great pay?
What do I major in and do if after graduating college I want to go into something that pulls in great pay and exceeds throughout the few years of working? I'm feeling like a failure so far in my first semester. Im doing terrible with procrastination and I am trying to work on it. But besides that, I originally wanted to go into the medical field.. but I strongly dislike chemistry and biology after taking the classes. I mean, yes it is hard and i'm not just switching it because of that. I actually don't even know what I want to do in life. I just cannot see myself doing anything medical anymore. I care about money and I also care about doing a job I will like. I did something where I wrote down things I am very interested in. It didn't go well and now i'm lost and I need help. Everybody says "don't just do it for the money." I will do it for the money. If I am paying for college I want to get myself a degree that will be getting me right on track to success. I want to get a good paying job that I can quickly raise my position in. I don't want to be a lawyer or a doctor. I want to do something that will take me four years.
