I think that you have a lot of opportunities! The biggest of these would be to own your own business! You could go to school to learn the skills and then go to work for yourself!

If you don't want to start your own business, see if the schools around you have a career services office or a job placement office. See if you can speak to a counselor. Let them know about your situation and they can give some professional guidance for free.

This link might provide further information for your opportunities through college:

I'd really recommend a professional degree of some sort like an accountant or business law or a doctor. These provide professional credentials and great opportunities to start your own business.

Once you get into college, go to every job fair that you can and start networking with other professionals in your field of study. Make sure to get to know them a little bit and then explain your situation. You might be surprised at what options become available to you!

I hope this helps and good luck!
