My Future - What's going to happen? Will I be happy? So many questions...

I'm in highschool, and graduation is crawling close. Slowly, but surely. However, I still cannot decide where I want to go to college, or what I want my career to be. I've considered being a doctor, nurse, and teacher. Honestly, I'm not really sure about any of them. I like to help people, i.e. the doctor or nurse. Being a teacher sort of just popped in my head. If I were to become a teacher, I'd want to be a mid-elementary teacher. This is mainly because I'm not extremely good in just one subject, so teaching highschool would be out of the question.

Like I said above, however, none of these jobs interest me that much. Honestly, I would absolutely love to be a writer or journalist. (Even if I take a personality quiz it tells me that I should be one of the two). I love to write. I believe that I am a good writer. However, this sort of job would almost be impossible where I live. Sure, I could move, but I don't want to. I currently live in a small town, and I couldn't even think about leaving it. I have grown up here, and I want my children to grow up here too. It's boring, and the nearest walmart is thirty minutes away, but I just love the way this place makes me feel.

Sorry, I've gotten off topic. Honestly, I'm not really sure what this topic is even about. I guess it's about the fact that I don't know what to do with my life. I guess I just want peoples opinions on this subject - Have you been through this too? If so, how did it work out? What are your thoughts? Should I pick up and move to become a journalist? Someone, please, help me.
