You can be excellent in a career that will make good use of your natural abilities. When you force a career upon yourself while you don't have the natural talent for it, you have a good chance of being good.
I am very good with computers (but who isn't now adays, it's not 1995 anymore), I type 110 words per minute easily.
I love helping people, being genuine, I don't do sales because I don't like forcing my honesty or politeness, I like to just be myself... not lie to people.
I'm good at public speaking, I don't get stage freight. I've been on live television before and it came naturally.
I can be very influential and convince people, so I'm pretty good at debating and getting my way and twisting things... if I were a psychopath I would be a billionaire lol
I'm good at writing, I think anyways, I used to write essays in class the day they were due and ace it while everyone else spent a week or more writing theirs... I never do "rough drafts" or revisions, I just type, once that sentence is done I don't go back to it, it's accurate, it's good where it is.
I wish I were good at maths but I had a tough time as a teenager and didn't apply my self in high school, so whatever intellect and logic (if any) that I have is from some spark of enlightenment after that time, because I was an average GPA stoner during high school.
I'm not sure what else... I failed algebra and chemistry in high school... so as much as I'd love to go into a science field, I'm a bit intimidated by the idea...
I know that I loved biology in high school, I didn't fail it but I didn't excel at it either.
I love philosophy, I'm good at thinking and coming up with interesting ideas...
I liked studying religion, I was religious at one point, but I'm an atheist now who still enjoys learning about the different beliefs of people, even if they aren't true, from a historical and philosophical perspective they fascinate me.
I would like to accumulate a lot of wealth to be able to distribute it to society via creating jobs (building a business), and starting charities... I'd love to be a rich philanthropist...
I like trading the Forex, foreign exchange, so I'm interested in stocks, but the thing is, about going with a business or financial degree, it feels so soulless for lack of a better term... I'm not the type of person who would enjoy my life if all I did was chase money... I don't want to sit and trade numbers all day unless it would make me very wealthy (I need capital for that) and then with that wealth I could put it to good use...
Political science and then be a politician.
