I know I am asking for much, but if you could take your time it would really help me out!I love helping people, and I want a job that will give me an 'ok' style of life (where I won't starve or be in need of a HUGE loan kinda thing) I was thinking about doing law with market tecnics or publicity.I am very creative and enjoy fashion, but like to argue about cause and feel really motivated to change the world somehow..any ideas?I really appreciate all the answers I can get!

It sounds like you might be interested in a Social Services type job. Perhaps working with state departments will peak your interest. You will be able to help people and the benefits are usually pretty good including the pay.
Phycoligist and Pychiatrist along with other medical professionals do great work in helping to make the world a better place by making people better or healing them completely.
Teaching can be of great benefit too. Some of the classes in higher school grades and some colleges teach social skills and family planning. Financial degrees help those who need to know about making,saving and spending their money wisely. Pay and benefits are different in many places so you have to check to find out scales.
There are also programs such as Child Welfare agencies, run by gov or state where the pay is usually good and benefits are also Adoption Agencies are great in helping those who can't have children of their own and gives children without families a real home and a chance to be part of a real family.
You mentioned Engineering and that is a great job also. The job usually carries a pretty high pay scale and with choices of different companies to work with benefits can be great too. It can also give you an opportunity to travel a great deal.
Being a caregiver, in home or in a facility can be rewarding and depending on circumstances and job the pay scale can vary but sometimes is more than minimum wages. Benefits can vary as well.
Working in the Law field can be a benefit in helping others by working cases that need special attention or those who don't have money to pay. You can become a state appointed attorney and help those who wouldn't get proper help in defense otherwise. There are lawyers for all types of situations and you could specialise in either of them. Bankruptcy, small claims, divorce, repossessions, child custody, child advocate, State attorney's for other needs, Disability and many others.
I suggest you write a list of all the things you like to do. Take into account the amount of hours you want to work daily. Think about the pay you will need to survive and pay all your old debts including loans for training. Consider if you want to travel or not. Consider the benefits of each potential job and how long it will take you to complete the education and training for each. When everything is down on paper you can think it all over. Seeing something in writing makes it more real and easier to focus on.
Take everything into account and think it over for a day or two. PRAY ABOUT IT! Then after a good nigHT's rest, wake refreshed and pull out the paper again, read it over once more and start checking off the things you would like to consider the most. After one more day, check again and by then hopefully you will be able to make a clear decision.
ASK GOD TO HELP YOU IN MAKING THIS DECISION.
I wish you the best and MAY YOU FIND THE POT OF GOLD AFTER THE RAINBOW........WITH ALL THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD!
God bless,
Blue_Angel

 I did fashion and textile retailing at Manchester University and really enjoyed it, I got slated by family and friends for choosing this as I got 3 A grades at A level so I could of done anything I want. I now work in a creative marketing agency doing marketing and PR which I really enjoy even though it is totally different to my degree!All I can suggest is for you to do something you enjoy and that you are good at, it makes it so much easier if you have some knowledge of the subject area. Degrees are hard work and much harder than A level so you need to be fairly certain you can handle to topics/subjects covered. But dont worry too much about your choice of degree, the actual subject you do is normally irrelevant. Employers look for the grade you achieved in the end to show you havent spent all your time drinking and partying! From my experience of interviews employers will hardly ask about your degree so dont put too much pressure on yourself.You can always do something totally different once you finish uni....your degree does not dictate your future career! It meerly shows that your capable of achieving results at a higher educational level. If you want some suggestions then here you go:Politics Business/marketingFashionPublic RelationsGeography (great degree to get into a variety of careers)English (great if you like writing/reading and also gets you into a variety of careers)Just go with whatever feels right in your heart....trust your instincts! Good luck!
