What to do...

I have been thinking a lot lately about where my life is headed. I have always been told that I have this amazing gift with children and am destined to be a teacher.

What if I do not want to be a Teacher. What if I think the pay sucks? I mean I do and I do not want to be a teacher. I love being around children. I do not like how much you get paid though. I have other talents, teaching is not the only route I can take. Its just the most sensible since I am rather good at it. 

 I have often thought about being a layout designer. I was editor of my yearbook in HS and basically designed my whole book and loved every second of it. Although I feel like there is money in that IF you are really good and are willing to scrape for a little while because you don't hit it big immediately. It takes networking... and that I am not good at. 

Maybe I could be a movie critic. I love movies. And I feel like I have the ability to sit there and vividly describe a  movie well enough as to where people are like yeah I want to see that movie or no I think I will pass. And 9 times out of 10 my review is accurate. But like designing it takes networking.

BAHHH so what do I do? Should I try and step up my game and attempt one of my dream jobs that seem almost impossible... or do I settle on teaching?

I mean I could do a little of both. I guess I could either A. I could be a yearbook advisor that way I am still working with kids BUT I am also able to help create a yearbook. Or B. I could be an elementary school teacher and have a side job designing banner, invitations, posters etc. 

HELP!!
