My first recommendation would be you talk to your guidance counselor at school. They can help you start sorting out what I'd like to do.
Have you ever had a part-time or summer job? That's another way to start sorting out what you like and what you don't like.
Someone else mentioned apptitude tests to help identify what you might be interested in. They can be very helpful. If the results are not things you think you would like, why do you think you would not like them?
Another avenue for you would be career counseling when you get to college. I seem to remember you mentioning plans to go to college. Someone also mentioned trying a variety of classes in college to see what appealws to you and what doesn't. That's great advice.
You asked what we do for work. I used to train horses and teach people to ride. Then I reached an age that I was worried about becoming seriously injured and unable to work. I went for some career counseling, then went back to college to get my Masters degree. Now I'm a licensed therapist.
