it sounds Cliche , but do something you love . Or else you are going to be miserable. Think about doing something you hate for the rest of your life !!
I would say if you like to write , maybe you should start writing short stories … And one day even novels.
Use your imagination … there will always be an audiance for a good writer.

Anything in the writing field, pretty much. Journalism, creative writing teacher, author, screenplay writer, you can even write commercial ads and the like.
I would recommend making a list of what you want to do, or think you would like to do, and research each field a little bit.

Well Julia, I am 42 and still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. the best advice I can give you is to take all the sciences, and maths you can as it leaves all your options open for the future — try doing some volunteer work in areas you think you might enjoy or see if your community offers job shadowing. Being creative is wonderful, it can lead you in many directions, from design and architecture to computer programming etc. With great writing skills perhaps a career in editing or journalism would be to your liking. I agree with the previous answer that you need to find your passion and follow it. There is not a job in the world that pays enough if you don’t enjoy doing it. That being said, you also must be practical and please don’t set your sights on writing the next Harry Potter or something as a career goal, if you want to attempt becoming a published writer that would be wonderful, but it is something you should do in your free time while you are working at something that will pay your bills until such a time as you can support yourself with your writing.

Pick something between; Century plant, and Mother of thousands.
You do after all reserve the right to change your mind.
Bless you in your search.

When you grow-up, you will know what you want to be and how you want to go about being it.
In the mean time enjoy yourself.
Take classes which encourage you to explore your creativity and writing skills.
And since you pick up on things fast, you might want to also look into something in ‘Sanitation’, like getting a job picking up litter in public parks.
Oh the possibilities ! ! !

If you like to be creative and spend some time outdoors, become a landscape designer. You must study horticulture and design and get some field experience with landscaping, but then you will be able to transform the outdoor environment for many people. Your writing skills will be a plus in presenting your ideas to clients. Make sure you use spell check or get a lot of spelling and grammar help in your written presentations.

It sounds like you should find a career that allows you to develop your writing skills, and as others have mentione here there are lots of possible ways to build a career- writing for TV, movies, books, editorial writer for magazines or newspapers. Just think about all the articles written for Yahoo news. Someone has to write them. There’s also a need for what’s known as Copy writers, people who write ads and other marketing materials for companies that sell products or services. Just be sure youi have someone proofread your samples before you submit them to an employer. As noted by others you have some typos in your message
