What are some good career options for me personally?

Im in Grade 11 currently and I still have no idea what I want to do after highschool. Im intelligent and I try hard but Im also very shy/antisocial. I was planning on being a pastry chef but I dont have a lot of patience at all and I just have a bad feeling about going to college for that. I have a 97 in my media studies class right now and I find it very interesting but again I find it very difficult to socialize. Im good with writing but I think that Id get bored writing for a newspaper or being a journalist. Im also interested in psychology and child development but I always feel awkward around children and dont really know how to be a leader. I like direction and Id prefer a job where there isnt a ton of stress and deadlines. I was thinking about being some type of secratary but thats not much of a career. Im really good with computers I have organizational skills I take instruction well and I am pretty intelligent. Im more of a written learner than visual or hands on. We had to choose our courses for grade 12 already and we can change them before its too late when grade 12 starts. So I was wondering what kind of career choices would interest me of your opinions? Even if you sound somewhat like me what career do you have or are you going to college for? I took gym 4 anthropology psychology sociology courses and a food and nutrition course but if Im changing my future plans for what college I should go to I need to choose the right courses so I fit the prerequisites. Please help

You should somehow get involved in the background of media. Like advertising managers or entertainment production managers. You can be shy but you still play a big role in the media.

You have time to decide. What Im doing is getting a business degree and then going on to get an MBA. Ill then be qualified for a large variety of jobs and I still have another five years to decide. If youre really smart you can get a job as something like an engineer which is high paying and doesnt involve a lot of contact with clients and stuff. But youre young youll probably gain confidence and be more comfortable around people. Good luck girl.
