First, congrats on graduating and maintaining a high GPA throughout! Not everyone knows what they want to do with their life at your age (or any age), so don't feel you need to rush into finding a career. Have you thought about higher education? That would give you some time to explore different career options and things that you might want to study further. If money's an issue, look into 2 year (AA) programs at community colleges to start with. You could continue at 4 yr college after if you want. Since you like helping people, health care is something you might want to look into. Lots of job security with good pay and plenty of different career paths are available there. You could also look into working for community agencies or non-profits that have a mission to help people improve their lives. If you're not sure that's a good fit, consider volunteering at a few places to see if you'd like to work there full or part time. The hospitality industry (hotel/restaurant management), retail or customer service might be another option, since you like helping people and interacting with them. They don't always pay well, but if you really like what you do, you could move up quickly. Now is a great time to explore your options and see what's out there for you!
