Unsure what i should do after school

A lot of times you do not get much choice, opportunities and what society wants or needs determines where you can fit in.

I never would have guessed, when I left college I would become a expert on industrial painting. Your first job sets the tone, Second job is up to who will hire you which is based on your previous position. The way life goes you have no control over it.

You know what? Until the past year, my daughter had no idea what she wanted to go to school for. Let yourself just be a kid for now, and as you learn in school, and in life, you'll see different kinds of people and situations. It'll be okay. Just enjoy being a kid for now.
 
Next year i will be finished wiht school but i am very unsure what do after.
I'd suggest taking a year off to tour the world. Or one continent. Or just the US. Doesn't take huge amounts of money, just money for train fare and food, strong legs, and a good backpack. Not everyone can do that.

Try a year off you'll see what living alone is like if you stay in your home country and stay strictly within your budget living alone is different to living with someone who pays all the bills I wish I'd done that for a year
 
If you want to do something that has something to do with your special interest but you don't wante to talk to people the whole day then you could take a backroom-job in that areas. (I do not know the correct term).
For example:
If you like plants you could take a job at a greenhouse or as a landscape gardener.
If you like books you could become a lector or Editor.
If you like art you could become a restaurator or a curator whos only job it is to take care and know everything about the collection.
And if you like fashion you could become a designer ....
Don't let your mom get into your head. It is your life
Enjoy your choice : )
 
Take some time, maybe try to experience different fields you might be interested in, then go from there. You might want to go to college, but take some time to figure things out first.
 
I think about what will happen when I finish college a lot. Going to try and start selling my art now before I’ve left.
 
Who knows what job or combinations of jobs you may pursue.

But none of those would define what you'll be. What you'll be is the best FlowerFlo the world has ever seen :)
