how do i find out what i would be good at?

i’m a junior in high school and need to be thinking about colleges soon, but i can’t think of anything i would be good at, or want to do. i don’t work so well with other people, but i could if i absolutely had to. i’m good with languages, i have four years of spanish, and when i graduate i should have two years of german and french, but i don’t want to be a translator. please help me! my parents are bugging me about college, and i have no idea what i want to do.thank you!

I would just tell you not to worry about it. Look at big colleges with a wide range of majors and go in undeclared. I go to a school with 30,000 students and every major imaginable and there’s tons of kids who come in with no idea what they want to do. Everyone has to take general ed. requirements the first two years anyway, so you have plenty of time to mesh out what you want to do with your life. It’s a big decision and you want to make sure you get into something you love, not just something you’re good at.

I know tons of people who came into college knowing exactly what they wanted to do only to change their minds later. In a big school, it’s easier (and very common) to do this. I didn’t know what I wanted to do until halfway through my senior year of high school but I turned out okay.

well you actually have linguistic intelligence (word smart). It’s probably best if you major in English related in languages. If you’re really strong at languages then that could be your opportunity for another job. Tell me what you’re interested are. Like are u good at math, science or business related, because when you finish college, many businesses would want you because you know a lot of languages.. Please correct me…

If you understand your self, then you’re best being alone. Think about being a writer.

If you are good with languages but bad with people maybe you should try to translate written material such as books, and technical manuals.
