As a freshman in high school, career matters have started to become more urgent since there are only a few years till college. From a very young age I've been thinking about what I'd want to do, but as I look at my chart and assess my abilities, things have started to get narrowed down a bit more. I'm an indecisive person, but I can be very logical, so I'm trying to rule out all the possibilities. One big question is, what career suites me as far as what my chart points to and what it says about my abilities and values? I have a Saggitarius MC, and when I think of how much I love writing and how much of a propensity I have for it, I try to apply that to the theme of my MC. So I presumed Journalism. Now, I didn't fully take the rest of the chart into account, because I wasn't quite sure where to look. When it comes to creative ability (applied in writing) I assumed I should look to the 3rd house (communications) and 5th house (creativity), but I'm not sure on how I would connect it with my MC. I do like to write creatively as well, so I can't say exactly. But if I do seriously take up writing or journalism, I'm not sure how much of a success I would be.
But, without looking for it in my chart, I took in interest in Psychology and Music. I have ability in Music, and I'd like to study Psychology and see where that would take me.
Stereo-typically, with Saggi on my MC, I want to travel and experience the world, but also help people. But I really want to express my creative abilities too. So that's where the confusion starts.
There's also the fact that my family members have very high expectations of me, but I do too. But they really pressure me into being something like a doctor or lawyer, etc.; as long as it doesn't have to do with anything "Art" related. That's all that's usually expected from a child in an Ethiopian household. I related this pressure and high expectation from my family to my Pluto conjunct MC. I can understand that power hungriness in me as well. I just want to be happy in my career, but I also want them to be proud of me. My parents moved here so I can have good opportunities and succeed, and make a good name for my family. That's the pressure of an immigrant living in America, you see. I refuse to be forced into a career, but I still want to make my family happy.
Before I fully try to figure that out, I just want a little direction so I can know where I should be developing a plan and knowledge. I think I've figured out some of my chart, as far as career, but I'm sure there is much more I'm not seeing.
Thank you for reading this.

(P.S.) I attached 3 charts in Equal House, Placidus, and Whole Sign, so if someone prefers one over the other.
