Don’t rush through school. I look back and realized school was an opportunity to explore different subjects and interests. I changed my major 3 times... and found a major that stimulated my passion. Then I worked for a few years and went back to school at night to explore another avenue of study. The companies I worked for helped with tuition. I stayed with that until retirement. Be willing to explore, change direction and do your best. There’s not one thing that works, as you grow your interests will change.  more

Do what you like at the current stage in life (You are at college). Do what you can do best at this time as long as it does not interfere with your... studies. Later after college, there will be time for self discovery also because factors such as your education, family and friends may determine who you become. But most importantly is finding out what you like. Success is never ending. Its within you, to determine whether you won or lost. Ignore the naysayers.  more

It's good that you found this out early and even better that you know what interests you. To get paid for doing what you like experience is key. Here... are my suggestions based on your answers:
1. Start volunteering to help out planning school events or start interning/volunteering at event planning companies. Companies rarely turn down free help. You get the experience and may develop relationships in the process.
2. Speak with your guidance counselor as someone suggested and see if they can point you in the right direction.
3. Commentating is in the communications field (start taking some courses at the college or some public speaking classes off campus. Also getting involved with school radio and television department (if they have one may be useful). Also volunteering/interning at your local news/radio station could also help you get the experience.
Good luck. I hope it helps. more

Since you are in college, make sure to leverage the groups they have there as well as volunteering opportunities. There is almost always a group that... needs help with scheduling, running and following up to events. Just talk to either your college activities director and/or your career counselors at school and they will probably give you some advice. There's plenty of time to build experience. more

I think you found the answer by what you mentioned. What would you do without being paid? There are plenty of career test and personality test to... guide you. If your college has a guidance counselor, talk with them NOW. ALL THE VERY BEST TO YOU! more
