i wanted to be a vet first, but then i realized how bad i am at science. so now i am thinking i want something with creativity. like fashion designers or songwriters or writers. something with music would be awesome. any ideas?
I think that ever job needs a bit of creativity… A Vet would have to be creative a lot of the time while trying to figure out how to treat their "patients"
If you’re into music, why don’t you try tracking down some people who do that for a living. You don’t necessarily have to track down Mariah Carey or Jay Z. You could start by maybe finding someone who works at a recording studio or for a smaller music label.
Pick up the phone and call them. Tell them about your situation and that you are trying to figure out what to do. Ask them if they would be willing to do an interview.
Let them know that you aren’t looking for a job, just info to help you make a decision…
Also, if you can, try to maybe volunteer for a company in the industry you want to be in. People are usually pretty willing to accept volunteers and you can also put that on your resume or put it towards school volunteer requirements.
The main thing is to start having some experiences around the stuff you think you want to do and then make some decisions about how to do it.
You are already ahead of a lot of people who never ask these types of questions.
Happy hunting!

Nobody relishes the prospect of hunting for a job, and most of us really want all the help we can get. After being jobless for the last month I scored a brilliant job after checking out the resource in the box below and using their methods for a couple of weeks. give it a try, it certainly helped me.
