what will be my job , i mean career in the future ?
Hi i'm 16 years old and i've no idea what will be my job in the future...Now, i'm considered to be a rich boy because of my dad's business..I hate to take his company in the future because i'm really not interested in it...So really what should i be??? Well , i've no real interest about a specific thing , because i'm interested in many things..

1. I like to exercise , but not really good in sports. Soccer is my favourite, but i lack the confident to play well . At times, i've considered about being a professional soccer player but i only started playing months ago ..So it is like IMPOSSIBLE... I also like other sports but only swimming i think ,the only sport i'm a little bit good with .. As for exercises , i like to lift weights and do pushups or other calisthenics ... I really like to have a sixpack and keep myself fit..

2. Well possibly my main hobby, the one that i do everyday , BROWSING THE INTERNET. Not playing an offline computer, i dont like to open my computer if it is offline, . But i like to find many informations on the internet (sports, news etc) or social networking (twitter,facebook) .

3. I'm not really interested in science , but MATH is my favourite subject in science.

4. One of the things that i'm good in is ACTING . I always know how to act real , possibly when joking or lying .

5. I'm very handsome/attractive according to the girls , and i like to be FAMOUS but i'm a SHY guy ...

6. I like to watch sports(mainly , football(soccer) ) and discuss about it ..

7. I'm an Indonesian, in which we never really speak english in public place . I learned english from TV , internet and i know many kinds of accent (American,British,Singapore) ...but my main problem is pronouncing Rrrrr...

8. I'm also a professional wrestling fan ...(I learned most of my english by watching wrestling)

Thank you

Sama dong, orang Indonesia juga. Bahasa Inggris kamu bagus kok. Biar gak di-remove, jawab in English aja ya.

Kalo ortu kamu mampu, kenapa gak pergi boarding school di Ostrali aja misalnya? Pendidikan di sana fokus banget dan mantap buat persiapan kuliah dan karir. You still have 2 years till finishing SMU. Do what you love, but don't keep too many options open karena itu yang bikin kamu gak bisa maju. Study hard in all your subjects, but pick two or three favorite subjects and outperform everybody in your class. Even if it's math and you don't know what career you'll lead to. Excel in it first, then opportunities will come and you'll be free to pick which ones suit you.

Join ekskul deh, especially ones that get you in competitions with other schools. Soccer and swimming should be on the top of your list. It doesn't matter if you can't do them that well; do it to learn discipline, dedication, leadership skills, character development, teamwork, and confidence. Be the best player in your team. You probably will never be an athlete, but having these qualities while playing a sport you love will help you know yourself better and give you a competitive edge in whatever field you will choose to work in.

Other ekskul you should consider joining are drama, journalism (at least mading), debating, and public speaking. Drama gives you confidence, challenge, empathy (skills for relating to other people's lives), understanding the human soul, and helps you become flexible in the way you present yourself. Also, your love of looking for information on the internet will greatly support your participation in journalism, debating, and public speaking clubs. Any one of these clubs (don't join them all! pick one and focus!) will help you process the information that suits your interest into your own works peppered with your own perspective, which you are trying to sell to other people. You will earn respect once you deliver these skills very well.

Pick two or three ekskul at most (tergantung kuat ambil berapa) and FOCUS. Then whatever happens, choose to stick to these two or three for better or for worse. Every year, drop one or two, even if the one you drop has been good. A jack at all trades is a master at none. The enemy of the best is not the worst, but the good. Then stick to the ekskul you keep, focus and dedicate yourself even more, and have no regrets. The reason why you dropped the others and not this one is because you want to put more energy and effort into being your best in this one. That will be your selling point in the future.

If by the time you graduate you still haven't figured it out, then take a year off. Traveling overseas is probably the best way to go. Do cash-in-hand jobs like cleaning apartments or babysitting to support yourself, then spend your free time doing stuff you had no time to do in school, like learning new languages, write a book, or promote Indonesian culture at the embassy of your destination country. If traveling overseas is not an option, then stay in Jakarta. Work as an SPB. In the daytime, join a modelling school and get cast for modelling, acting, and MC jobs. If you have the connections, try acting in a sinetron. In the evening, join Teater Koma as an understudy (they recruit new members in April, then you practice from 19.00-23.00 Monday to Friday). Year off ini bakal berguna buat mantapin pilihan kuliah dan karir kamu.

Only you can find out what your career will be. I don't have the answer, but I know that you can find in the path I suggested. Be patient with yourself and make room for mistakes, but do push yourself to know what you want, because finding out what you want is 50% of the foundational work. If you don't know what you want, that's exactly what you'll get: nothing. Identify a handful of interests, turn them into passions, keep the ones you're willing to sacrifice for and throw away the others. Just like American Idol, you keep a number of good ones and eliminate the weakest link until you end up with one winner. That's pretty much how your career is discovered.
