Dear Abby: Should I be a stylist or a doctor?

Should I be a stylist or a doctor? Dear Abby: I’m a young woman of 16 years and I’m in the second year of high school. Next year will be my last, and then I will have the pressure of relatives and friends wondering what I will do with my life. Should I pursue the career I always wanted as a child, or a career that I think is beautiful and will give me a good life? The dreams people have as children usually change as they mature. The careers you are contemplating now can make a huge difference in the lives of others, and reward you well if you work hard and are successful. [...] if you can’t bring yourself to dip your toe in the water that way, ask your physician to put you in touch with a psychotherapist who specializes in relieving people of their phobias. Have you any advice to help me stop thinking about the past and the future and how I can enjoy the here and now? Nothing lasts forever, including summer vacation. [...] make a conscious effort to reorient yourself to the present.
