Thinking about my career

[PhilGR]

Hey guys! I am 16yo and I really love human biology and nutrtion , so I would like to become an Dietician/Nutritionist. But I don't want to be just another typical counselor. I am thinking about opening an international health coach wellness bussiness or sth like that , help people around the world (imagine how globalisation could reach when I will start ~2030) and also see clients in an office. I also wanted to have a MS on Toxicology or quality control and work for a corporate from the food industry. I like the idea and I wanted to have multiple experiences inside the food and health industry ,not just a enterpreneurship nor a 9 to 5 job from my 30s to retirement.

What do you think about my ideas?

I don't know if this post fit the content of the Life Purpose discussion, but I really wanted to know some other opinions from more actualized persons with honesty  (not just family and friends ) 

Many of you also live in U.S , I live in Greece but I am planning to study there so some feedback about the food and health industry there would be nice!

Thank you very much.

Sounds good, I guess.

If you feel compelled to do it, take the life purpose course anyway, it will help you clarify your vision.

This sounds wonderful, go for It. I'm glad that someone actualy has practical career ideas not just "coaching, guiding, teaching crap". I'd say don't take that life purpose course, just dedicate yourself to mastering nutrition, dietology and food science and other aspects that this includes. It's hard to think of what could be better contribution to society (aka purpose) and If you love It It's wonderful. This is something humanity actually needs and I believe there is lack of high level specialists in this field. And be as ambitious as you can, don't go the easy route, dive all in!

@RabbitHole Thank you for your feedback!?

@PhilGR Sounds nice and clear. The only question is, is that really what you want?

Sounds like a great plan! If you've got great aim, great ambition and great work ethic, I'm sure you'll achieve all that and more!

@Leo Gura Yes I am  pretty sure about that ! The only problem is that I don't know what is going to happen in the next 10-20-30 years in US and global economy or how technology affect my career an so on. If someone could tell me :"you will have full financial freedom until your retirement to live a comfortable life if you work hard on that plan " . But who knows for sure , here in Greece I have borned and lived inside the insecurity ,especially when you see 30yo people with MS can't find a well paying job.

Maybe I need help there , or I will wait to get experinces as I am getting older and getting my degree.
