What should my career be

Every time I have a conversation with an adult, they always ask me what I want to do and where I want to go to college. I really have no idea.I dont have any hobbies or interests. I just go to school, do my homework, listen to music, go to bed, and then to school, and the cycle repeats.Im good at math and science even though I hate it, but I hate literature even more.My biggest talent is art but it bores me.I love traveling but I dont like people and have no social skills. I speak Spanish and English.Thats about it.My mom thinks Im going to be a musician or one of those people with the ink blot cards (I forgot what theyre called). My dad also wants me to/thinks Ill be a musician.
      Answer1:Well when your in collage do a simple job like a waiter...youll get to hear all different kinds of stories from people and youll get to try something that is a little bit different style than you. Later, i would suggest something like and architect, your creative from art, and you are smart and can measure walls and such.
      Answer2:You dont mention your age, but Ill assume that you are in high school. You must have some interests for your parents to mention music as a career, and there are some high school subjects that you would have chosen to take.You mention art and that is a broad field. The type of art and music courses taught in high school are only an introduction. Art can include sculpture, architecture, desktop publishing, advertising/marketing, animation, cartoonist, jeweller, landscaper, illustrator, etc... The music industry has not only musicians, but also composers, recording artists, DJs and music mixers, managers, promoters and much more. There are also music therapists.You could also put your language skills to use translating books in print or on tape.A career counsellor at your local employment centre can administer an interest and aptitude inventory and help you to interpret your results.I also suggest reading Barbara Shers book, "I Could Do Anything If Only I Knew What It Was." Each chapter describes different personality styles and has some exercises that will help you make some choices. Another book that may be helpful if you are having difficulty choosing is, "Refuse to Choose," also by Barbara Sher.Good luck
