I figured this is the best possible place to ask this question.
I'm 16 years old. My entire life I have been very mechanically oriented and LOVED building things. I'm not at all trying to brag here, but I'm very talented in areas concerning design and building, and I love hands on work. From a young age I have always loved Legos and enjoyed watching my friends marvel over the crazy things I make. I got into prop building at age 14 and made the UNSC SAW from halo 4/5 out of cardboard, and though I'm embarrassed by it now, I think its pretty good for a 14-15 year old kid. Again not meaning to brag, just stressing that this is a talent I have.
The issue is, every time I think about college, I get stuck. I can't think of any "conventional" jobs that get 4 year degrees that I am ok with doing for the rest of my life. Engineering for example looks ok, but it would just be a lot of math and computer work and I wouldn't get to do anything physically hands on, and there won't be as much creative liberty as I need for my talents. I figured since this place is full of people who are talented like me (and all of you are probably more talented than me) and also older with more experience, I could get some tips?
So here's my question: What job do you think is good for me? Are there any jobs you can think of that would interest me that I can go get a degree for?
So far what I've looked at that I've ruled out are: Engineering, Architecture, Construction, and Ergonomics.
So far what I've looked at that interests me, but I can't go to college for: Prop making, Set design, Movie Effects artist, Sound Engineer
tl;dr I like to build stuff, what job should I get that I can go into college for?
